OVBA Spotlight: Local Business Woman, Reverend, and Therapist Never Ceasing in Service

By Justin Yates
         
          For as long as Sharon Lewis has lived in the Ogden Valley, she has continued to do what she enjoys most—helping others to be happy and to feel good physically. Sharon manages three of her own businesses, which are all located in the Ogden Valley: Healing Hands of Eden, Reverend Sharon Lewis, and Ogden Valley Treasures. 

As an experienced massage therapist, having specialized in the profession for nineteen years, Sharon provides quality therapy for local residents and visitors. She brings her services directly to the customer’s own home, condo, or hotel. When occasionally demand requires it, she will team up with two or three other massage therapists to accommodate for larger groups. Her therapy provides relief from tension and soreness in the body. For example, skiers can benefit from this after a long day of skiing. Her massages can also sooth pain that comes from injuries, headaches, and chronic conditions. Her Healing Hands website, www.sharonlewismassagetherapist.com, is a great source to learn more in depth about the kinds of massages she gives.

          Sharon has been an ordained reverend for nine years, and during that time she has helped many couples experience their dream wedding, in addition to officiating at other kinds of ceremonies. The weddings she performs are tailored to the unique circumstances and needs of each couple. Sharon’s desire is to allow them greater flexibility than they would normally have in the traditional marriage setting. For example, she allows couples to plan and personalize their own wedding ceremonies, which proceed in accordance with their own personal convictions. A number of couples who were married by Reverend Lewis have written her and expressed their gratitude and joy for having her be the one to make their marriage a reality: “You did such a beautiful job uniting us in just the way we had wanted it,” one couple expressed. Another couple, whose marriage was performed in Snow Canyon, UT, was pleased with how well Sharon had conformed to their wishes: “We hired Sharon to perform our ceremony and were impressed by the wide range of ceremonies available. Planning our wedding was easy, thanks to Sharon. She is resourceful and prompt with help and advice, and made our wedding a dream to plan.” Sharon provides a variety of different options and services pertaining to weddings and ceremonies. These, as well as some great photos, can be found on her website, www.revsharonlewis.com.

         

          Ogden Valley Treasures is Sharon’s third and most recently developed business. Launched in August of 2011 as a non-profit classified ad website, it provides individual people and other businesses a place for listing ads, products, and services. She believes her site will make it so people in the Valley will not have to travel to Ogden or Salt Lake to find what they are looking for. It is a simple and easy classified website to locate and to use: www.ogdenvalleytreasures.com. People can list for free.
         
          Though Sharon did not grow up in Utah, she has come to love the area, especially the Ogden Valley, and also the people. In addition to her businesses, she serves in two volunteer service organizations, the first, an organization for rescuing and raising basset hounds (www.UFBH.org), and the second, an organization for helping Native Americans in the Navajo Reservation (www.anelder.org).  She is a member of the Ogden Valley Business Association (OVBA) and helps, with the other members of the Association, to contribute to the needs of the residents and those visiting the Valley. Sharon lives in Liberty with her husband and three beautiful basset hounds.
