I'M SHIRA & HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME.

Hello! My name is Shira, my pronouns are they/them, and I'm a neurodivergent nonbinary queer integrative health coach. When I was little, I didn't have dreams of working in the healthcare industry - I wanted to be a dancer. But in my freshman year of college, my health took a turn for the worse and I had to drop out of school. I was constantly in pain and exhausted. When I had the energy to train, I would jump back into multiple training sessions a week and after a month or two, I would get hurt. My stomach was so sensitive, seven single ingredients made up my entire diet. The sea of doctors I saw couldn't find an answer to what was happening to me and couldn't give me effective methods to manage my symptoms.

I didn't let my health stop me from living. I studied yoga and bodywork. My trajectory changed when a guest speaker at my massage school gave a lecture about vitamins and how they are used in the body. It inspired me to become a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and learn how to leverage diet and lifestyle choices to support bodily function. While I gained perspective on how my choices were impacting my daily life, I knew it wasn’t the whole picture. So I became an integrative health coach through the Restorative Wellness Solutions program and learned to develop targeted protocols to resolve the underlying and often overlooked components of health. Through my education, I developed protocols specific to my needs. I now have pain-free days. My energy levels are consistent throughout the day. I don't know how many things I can eat - there are too many to count easily.

Wellness is the effective and sustainable management of stress. My goal as your coach is to empower you with knowledge and understanding of how you work and what you can do to make that work easier. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-most approach. Every body is different and every body talks. I'm here to help you figure out how to manage your daily stress in ways that work with your natural tendencies.

Let's work together to develop a sustainable healthy lifestyle that will empower you to achieve your goals!
