REFLECTION was started in 2013. The philosophy of the company
is to encourage everyone to take time out to ‘reflect’.
Why the name REFLECTION?
“As a coach I agree to be my client’s ‘reflection’ mirroring back to them,
their uniqueness and their blind spots both positive and negative”.
“As a therapist I provide a safe space where my client can discover
through reflection the source of their good health and happiness”.
Rita Sharkey BSc. Mgmt., DipMESK, DipCST
REFLECTION’s mission is simple:
“To help you set and get your goals, always valuing your uniqueness.”

TESTIMONIALS
My cranio-sacral sessions with Rita have helped me to deepen my
self-awareness, specifically around how I handle stress and how I assert
myself. I have always found Rita to be very supportive and encouraging.
She is a wonderful listener, and gives very sound advice. I come away
from her sessions feeling relaxed, grounded, and ready to face any
challenges that may arise

Rita has a real gift for helping people. I’ve been availing of her many services for over 10 years now
and can honestly say she has helped me through all the most challenging periods of my life. Her
coaching, her guidance, her complementary therapies, her wisdom and intuition – they all combine
together to provide a truly unique and powerful support system for whatever you may be going
through. Whether it is a career change, a health issue, a personal stumbling block….or perhaps you
don’t even know what the problem is! A session with Rita has always left me in a better place,
mentally, physically, holistically. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

As a result of some negative feedback from an interview on my vocal projection and delivery, I
visited Rita Sharkey for Voice Coaching. I found the experience immensely valuable – the sessions
were conducted in a relaxed and ‘safe’ environment. I still use some of the exercises prior to any
public speaking. I think the actual testament to how effective the course was, is the fact that I have
now secured a new role and was commended on my interview presentation!! I have also facilitated
sessions and presented to groups of staff – something I’m not sure I would have felt comfortable
doing before.

I am 31 years old and 8 years married and was attending the hospital for 3 years with
endometriosis. After going through several operations and tests I was told I couldn't have children. It
made me very negative and was given no reason for it. I felt very annoyed and let down because
they were very negative and gave me no hope……. Then I was introduced to Rita Sharkey. I thought
she was very helpful. She helped me be more positive and recommended nutritional
supplements…..we finished our sessions together and 2 months later I found out I was pregnant! I
had a bouncing 9lbs 6.5ozs baby girl ….. So in the end Rita taught me to be more positive in myself
and to never give up. …. I feel if I was never introduced to Rita I would be still childless. I will always
be grateful to her.

Rita worked with my team at CarGurus for a period of five months. Overall the feedback on her was excellent. She is incredibly warm and engaging so found it easy to build trust with the reps. This was a critical foundation which ensured that the team leveraged her to the best of their ability. Rita was a pleasure to deal with and I am confident that her training made a big impact on driving results across the revenue business.
