Shira was wonderful! So knowledgeable and helpful. And very discreet and sensitive. I’d highly recommend her

Bracha Kurtzer Gross

Shira helped me through an acute neck sprain - each time drastically improving area functionality and reducing overall discomfort. She brings a holistic view of health, so it feels like my symptoms were not viewed in a vacuum, but my overall system health in mind. She is warm, professional, and talented at what she does. I highly recommend her services!

Jasmine

Shira is amazing. She’s literally a miracle worker. I had so much pain in my hips and lower back (due to sitting so much for studying and work) that I couldn’t walk or sit comfortably without constant pain. Even in our first session, my pain level was considerably reduced. She’s patient and kind and her gentle touch really allows you to entrust your body to her guiding hands. I was hesitant at first about osthopathy but now I love it so much more than physiotherapy or message therapy, because it actually works so much better on my body.

Ariela R

Shira is AMAZING! i took my 8 month old baby to her because he had bad reflux and wasn't sitting as well as i would have liked and she has a magic touch! He was spitting up significantly less and was stretching/flexible in ways i didn't see him do before! She was very gentle and careful with him i felt very comfortable! I also went to Shira for myself with back and shoulder pain and i had significant improvement after just one session! I recommend Shira to everyone now!

Molly Toby

Shira's treatment plan was great, she is not only highly skilled but also compassionate. I would absolutely recommend Shira to anyone seeking professional, caring, and effective osteopathic treatment!

Zohreh Shafagh

“So, I’ve been through a lot of different forms of therapy to aid my chronic pains and have been pleasantly humbled by the work of Shira and her methods. Shira is an amazing osteopathic practitioner who truly takes her time to offer a quality experience that has given me some peace in my day-to-day pains😊 I would recommend Shira to anyone dealing with chronic pains, she is a wonder of an Osteopath. Thank you Shira, I’ll see you again soon enough!”💐💐

Mona Gabay

Shira has been absolutely wonderful during my pregnancy. I was hesitant to do anything while pregnant but she is so reassuring and gentle I now recommend it to my entire female community. I always feel better after a session with her and she provides fantastic advice for a very unsure mom!

Sarah L

I am very pleased with the Osteopathy sessions Shira has provided my baby. She has helped to provide stability, confidence and mobility so that my baby can gain strength to walk. I have noticed significant improvement after each session and I encourage others to put their trust in Shira’s knowledge and abilities. Thank you!

Shira’s superb skills as an osteopath and healer, both physically, emotionally/mentally and spiritually, have been tremendously helpful in clearing up some health issues of mine. Her hands-on approach, her astute ability to both ask for and receive information, has allowed her to zoom in on my body issues and educate me as to taking better care of it. My shin splint and hip bursitis injuries have for the most part healed after a couple months (at 75 it takes a bit longer). My alignment is better. My awareness of movement is more mindful. Shira’s absolutely delightful personality and energy have made many of my days. Thanks so much for sharing your gifts with me. Forever grateful I’ve discovered you!!!

Sue-Anne Watkins

Shira is an excellent and very observant practitioner. I have never fully understood Osteopathy as I have seen other practitioners in the past. My experience with Shira was completely different and extremely effective. Her manipulations are much more hands on but not aggressive. Just the right amount of pressure and movement. I will definitely be adding this therapy to my maintenance protocol.
