“Where do I even start? Shira is, simply put, absolutely incredible. If you’re looking to work with a nutritionist, you won’t find a better one. It goes without saying that she’s the best of the best in her field; but to me, Shira is far more than a nutritionist. I’d struggled with food, my diet, and my body image in one way or another my whole life; and I’d been wanting to work with a nutritionist for a while when I initially reached out to Shira, but had never actually done so as the mainstream approach to diet and nutrition felt extreme and very out of alignment with what I wanted for myself. Shira’s approach is simple and attainable; she teaches you how to develop and maintain a healthy, very well-balanced diet without requiring you to sacrifice how you might want to look and feel. When we first started working together, my diet had been so restrictive for so long that by that point most foods would severely upset my stomach; even drinking water would leave me extremely bloated some days. After just a few months, I was tolerating foods I hadn’t been able to comfortably eat in over a year—including raw vegetables—and now even tolerate most dairy, having been severely intolerant to it for over a decade. Beyond her clinical expertise, what really sets Shira apart is her capacity to connect with, hold space for, and genuinely support you. Not only does she see and hear you, she teaches you to be true to yourself and to make choices that honor your needs in a way that, for me, has translated seamlessly to every aspect of my life. I’ve seen myself grow in so many ways since I started working with Shira. The way in which I’ve learned to consistently honor and show up for myself, I can directly attribute to Shira and the work we’ve done together; the example she sets, and her overall presence and voice, is truly invaluable to me. If you’re considering working with her, don’t think twice about it. She’s changed my life in ways I never thought possible, and I’m so thankful to know her!”
