Specialized Support
GLP-1 Integration
Taking a GLP-1 changes your body. But change doesn't happen only in the body, it happens in the relationship between your body and your mind.
I help people taking GLP-1s build a bridge to their new body, so their mind catches up and they can truly enjoy the self they are becoming.
- Process the emotional impact of rapid physical change
- Update your self-image and internal narrative
- Build habits that honor your new body with kindness
"The work is not just losing weight. It's letting yourself arrive in a new body with your whole self intact."
Whether you are beginning, adjusting, or deepening your GLP-1 journey, integration coaching offers a place to land.
How I Can Help
My approach is gentle, yet powerful. With a combination of tools and empathy, I help you identify where your life force is blocked, then reconnect with the inspiration that creates lasting change.

“For the first time in my life, I'm not at war with food. Sheira's approach helped me understand how my nervous system influences the way I eat. I stopped overeating and I finally have peace about this subject.”
R.

“My inner critic used to rule my life. I was anxious throughout the day. Sheira showed me that the harsh voice in my head isn't me, and helped me transform it into an ally. This has been a game-changer.”
D.

“After periods of depression and two narcissistic relationships, I have grown tremendously working with you. I feel so much better! Thanks for being an amazing therapist. I honor the work you've done for yourself that allows you to guide other people in this way. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude.”
C.
San Francisco
“There are no words to convey how much you have helped our family. As a result of your work with us, our family is sooo much more functional, happy and loving. You honestly have no idea of the profound improvements in our relationships with each other. There have been so many firsts that we have experienced... positive changes which we never dared to hope for.”
V.

“When people meet each other with presence, vulnerability, and courage, something calming and powerful happens. I believe in it, because I have seen this subtle power bring change time and time again.”
— Sheira Kahn
