Hi!

My name is Sharissa and I am so excited to be an Ambassador for SweatNET! My full time job is being a school counselor for elementary students, where this will be my 4th year in that role! Previously, I worked with children in the mental health field such as therapeutic preschools, and residential treatment facilities. Part time, I teach kids yoga classes at Pure Power Yoga in Robinson. I also will be partnering with Pittsburgh Psychotherapy Associates. Eventually, I’ll offer preteen/young teen yoga classes as well. I really enjoy teaching kids about yoga and mindfulness!

Outside of work, I LOVE taking yoga classes whether at Pure Power or with Luna&Soul, a mobile studio. Another big stress reliever for me is kickboxing, where I attend ILoveKickboxing (ILK). My tribes are awesome! Lastly, I take adult dance classes (tap!) at Fran’s School of Dance. I always try to stay busy and active – and keep my brain sharp! I started focusing on my mind and body health after being diagnosed with PCOS. Weight can be hard to lose, and I would get into mental funks often. Since making time for ME and meditating, doing yoga, running, walking or kickboxing, I’ve found a major improvement in all aspects of my life. I am so excited to continue to grow in my health and fitness journey with SweatNET!
