Hi I'm Shira

You are a current or former dancer, gymnast or athlete. You have undergone intense training and competition. Now, you feel stuck. You feel high demands, yet you are afraid of your power. You want to be successful. You notice that you fear failure. You may even fear success. Performance anxiety and overwhelm have gotten the best of you lately. Because you're a high achiever, you need extra love and support and wish to feel confident. However, relationships both in and outside of your craft feel unsubstantial. I will teach you how to love yourself so fully that you attract even more love and connection. Begin to feel your feelings, transforming them from pain to wisdom.

“Shira helped me take action quickly. I was able to learn from our sessions to better manage my stress and feel more capable of success.”
