True to Life Wellness
I'm a licensed acupuncturist with over 25 years of clinical experience, now practicing in Freeport, Maine. My training includes national Diplomate credentials in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (NCBHM), and I hold licenses in both Maine and Pennsylvania.
My practice centers on Saam acupuncture and myofascial/dry needling, two methods I've refined over decades of clinical work. I treat a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, migraines and headaches, digestive issues, and stress-related concerns. I'm also part of the GLO-IMPACT oncology acupuncture cohort, developed with Memorial Sloan Kettering, and work with patients navigating cancer treatment and recovery.
I believe in treating root causes, not just symptoms. My approach is collaborative: I work alongside your existing medical care rather than in place of it. Every treatment plan is built around your specific presentation, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
True to Life Wellness is a solo, cash-pay practice at 15 Main St., Suite 13, in Freeport, serving patients throughout the Midcoast region.

Sharon is a superb acupuncturist. I had a very painful hip that I thought was leading to a replacement, but she quickly improved it so much that now I just need periodic tune-ups. She is also just delightful to interact with!

Sharon's assessment and treatment of my back problem has enabled me to function. I'm very pleased with my overall acupuncture experience and the explanations Sharon provides.
She is an experienced practitioner and my sessions with her have been very helpful.

Sharon was very open, listened to my concerns, and
used her acupuncture skills and treatment knowledge
to reduce the swelling and discomfort in my ankle
I injured in a fall last spring. She is very professional
with many years of proven experience in her field.
I highly recommend her.

Excellent excellent service. Sharon was very warm and welcoming right from the moment I walked into her office for the first time. She took the time to listen to what my issue was and from the questions she asked, I knew right away that she knew what was going on with me. I just knew I was going to get the right care, treatment and help that I needed to help me feel better and I was not wrong. Sharon is very personable and professional at the same time. She always sits and listens to her patients in every session and not just jump right into treatment. She is always going above and beyond for her patients and I always look forward to my sessions. Sharon always know what to do to get me feeling better because I always leave feeling well, relaxed and happy. The plus to all of this is how super duper clean the whole place is. Sharon keep up the great work and keep on making your patients feel better. You are definitely a rare gem. Thank you for always making me leave with a smile and always looking forward to my next sessions. .YOU ROCK!!!

I came to Sharon as a first-timer, I had no prior experience with acupuncture. She makes each session a wonderful experience where I feel comfortable, cared for, and understood.

As a dancer, I put my body through a lot physically. Oftentimes my pain and injuries also feel emotionally draining, like my body is an equation that I just cant solve. Sharon brings a perspective on the body through her work that makes healing feel attainable for me. She is incredibly knowledgeable and is able to explain what's going on in a clear and precise way.

Sharon has demonstrated an experienced understanding of how dancers rely on our bodies. She has consistently delivered just the right amount of release to my muscles so that I have relief and can return safely to my rehearsals later in the day. Acupuncture sessions have restored my range of motion, lessened my pain, and helped me continue moving with a more relaxed and energized sense of being.

I would highly recommend working Sharon to anyone especially dancers like myself looking for solutions to tightness, fatigue, and muscular reawakening!

As an alternative practitioner myself, I can highly recommend Sharon Shermans acupuncture practice. She possesses a deeply integrated knowledgenot only of her craft, but also of adjunct supports like supplements and topical remedies that, in my experience, is absolutely spot on.

The sessions have effectively addressed most of the concerns I initially brought to her. Each visit leaves me feeling restored and energized, setting the tone for a productive week ahead.

Sharon is down-to-earth, fabulous, supportive, and wonderfully funny. You are truly in good hands!

I was an acupuncture sceptic. But I also knew people whom Sharon had worked on in Philadelphia before she recently moved to Freeport. We were told that a holistic medical wonder had moved to our town and that we were lucky. OK, Maybe. Then recently I needed a little body relief and I went to Sharon. I went in with a nothing to lose attitude and came out an advocate. Sharon is a miracle worker and knows her medical arts deeply, organically.

I went to see Sharon for a rotator cuff injury, and the experience felt very different from other treatments Ive tried. From the beginning, she listened to my story not just where it hurt, but why I was there and what was happening in my body overall.
The intake process took time, but I quickly realized how intentional it was. Sharon uses a Korean-style acupuncture approach and clearly needs this detailed information to understand and support the whole body, not just focus on the painful area. As a bodywork practitioner myself, I really appreciated how thoughtfully she connected everything together rather than treating my shoulder in isolation.
After just two sessions, my shoulder felt significantly better. She also treated me when I was about to develop cold and throat symptoms, and after a short treatment, I was able to avoid coughing and the cold never fully developed. That experience really showed me how responsive and effective her work is.
Her care felt thorough, grounded, and deeply supportive. I left feeling seen, understood, and confident that my body was being treated as a complete system. I highly recommend Sharon to anyone looking for acupuncture that goes beyond symptom-focused treatment.

Sharon Sherman is better than fantastic. I am so lucky that she is here in Maine, after a very long time in Pennsylvania. I've been to many acupuncturists in my many years, but I was frequently underwhelmed. What distinguishes Sharon is not only her vast knowledge of acupuncture, but her deep understanding of the healing body, and this includes the power of Chinese herbs. I leave my sessions with her blanketed in peacefulness. Now that's healing.

I had heard about Sharon for decades from my sister in Philly so was delighted when I found out she was moving to Maine. After struggling for about a year with a chronic hip problem I was amazed, when in the first session with Sharon my pain was significantly alleviated and after a few sessions the issue was completely resolved. Sharons professionalism, skill and deep knowledge are evident in every interaction. I have referred seven of my friends to her with various issues from arthritis to post surgical recovery and they have all had excellent experiences and several have become regular clients. Sharon is a brilliant practitioner, and we are so very lucky to have her in Freeport.

Sharon Sherman offers the most unquie and seasoned appraoch to acupuncture I have ever experienced. I have been treated by 7 or 8 acupunturists in the last 25 years. Sharon is a cut above when it comes to results! She was a staple of the health and wellness community in Philadelphia is a greatly missed. Freeport, Maine is fortunate to have her healing nature and decades long honed skills.

Sharon was recommended for my son and husband's back pain. From the moment we met Sharon she was warm, welcoming, and her knowledge of accupuncture was nothing short of exceptional. She customized different treatment plans for my son and husband after speaking with them in length. Sharon's approach, perspectives and treatments have led to daily life being much more pain free. We have used her for many years, and just recently she sadly notified us that she is relocating to Freeport, Maine. There is no one that could fill Sharon's shoes, we will really miss her. Good luck Sharon, Freeport community you are so fortunate to have Sharon, she is amazing, and a world of knowledge on East Asian medicine.

I have struggled with a weak immune system all my life. In 1993, I came down with Epstein Barr/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My acupuncturist at the time did help, but I never got well. Then I started to see Sharon Sherman. Over the following twenty years, she helped me build back, and beyond. At age 70, I am stronger and healthier than I have ever been in my life. (Singles tennis, anyone?) Sharon is a consummate professional. She has a deep knowledge of Chinese medicine, including multiple traditions and herbal treatments. Sharon also has a healthy respect for Western modalities and knows when to send her clients in that direction. I forgive Sharon for leaving me and Philadelphia only because she is now treating my sister and her friends at her new location in Freeport. I miss her incisive mind and ironic jokes and wish her all the best!
