Something in you already knows the way back to yourself.
Beneath the noise of daily life — the self-criticism, the old wounds, the fear that keeps your world small — you have never lost your wholeness. You are so much more than you know. Over the years, the layers we all pick up trying to fit in, be accepted, or simply get by have disconnected you from that truth, and from your own authentic self.
You don’t need to be fixed. You don’t need to become someone other than who you are. As those layers are gently released, what is revealed is your own beauty, power, and unearthed gifts — and the relief of no longer hiding, from others or from yourself, but loving yourself exactly as you are. This is the path home.
I’m Shira Naomi. For more than four decades I’ve accompanied people on this path as a licensed psychotherapist, somatic therapist, and sound healer. My work brings together the ancient, intuitive art of sound healing, scientifically grounded psychotherapy, and the deep wisdom of the body. At a time when humanity is moving through a profound collective transformation, this work offers a way to meet change from the inside out — rooted, present, and more fully yourself.

How I Work
The body remembers what the mind has set aside
Tension, pain, and physical symptoms often carry an emotional root — feelings that were never given room to be expressed. My work helps you reach those roots gently, at your own pace. I use the voice in two essential ways.
Your voice
I create a safe space for you to use your own voice, giving expression to emotions that have gone silent, frozen, or stuck in the body — when, and only when, you are ready. Feeling and sound speak the language of the right brain, a place words alone can’t fully reach. Giving voice to what has been held opens a direct line to the places where energy has stopped flowing. Met with compassion, those places soften, and you return to your own authenticity — back into flow within yourself.
My voice
In sound healing, I offer intuitive tones and frequencies through my own voice. This works on several levels at once. Physically, it calms the nervous system and brings the body’s natural resonance back into harmony. Energetically, it releases emotion held in the tissues. Spiritually, it connects you with something larger — a remembrance of who you truly are beneath every layer you’ve ever carried.
Private Sessions
Individual sessions offered in person and online.
I offer three kinds of one-on-one work, in person and online.

Ongoing Sounding Heart therapy sessions.
Over time, we work together to gently uncover and release what your body has been holding — the old feelings and patterns that have blocked your natural flow. Through deep listening and body-centered therapy, I help you find your own voice, so what has long been silent can finally be expressed. Many sessions close with sound, helping you integrate what has opened so you leave feeling soothed, safe, and loved.
Sound Healing Sessions
These sessions are deeply transformative. I tune into what your body is holding and give it sound. As fear, grief, or anger is finally voiced, it begins to move. Places that have been tight, painful, or numb soften and reconnect. Many people experience a profound remembrance of their true essence, of love, and of being more than this body and personality.
Healing the Emotional Roots of Physical Conditions
The body often holds what we have never been able to say. Through your voice, my voice, and gentle body-centered awareness, what has been held can be given a voice and, at last, heard. Releasing energetic blockages can free the body's own innate capacity to heal, making this work a powerful companion to the medical care you receive.
Please note: These sessions are not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. I do not diagnose, treat, or cure physical conditions or illnesses. Please continue to work with your physician or healthcare provider for any medical concern, and do not stop or change any treatment or medication without their guidance.
Group Sessions
Healing in community, through sound, presence, and connection
Group offerings are available, with upcoming circles and ongoing groups in the works.
A Circle of Sound
A drop-in circle where you can come as you are and simply receive. I use alchemical crystal bowls infused with minerals and gemstones, and together with my voice, they create a powerful blend of healing frequencies. No experience is needed — just come, relax, and receive. These circles can help release energetic blocks and restore emotional balance.
Deep Group Work
A small, ongoing group in which people discover they are not alone. Healing unfolds through words and sound, as we share, listen, and be in deep, authentic connection. The circle creates a field of love and belonging, and the ancient wisdom of singing, chanting, and sounding together comes alive in a profound and supportive way.

What is Sound Healing?
As we know, everything is moving. Movement creates vibration, and vibration creates sound. Therefore, everything has a sound. Just as we can’t see infrared or ultraviolet light because our eyes have a limited range of the information they can take in, we can’t hear the sounds of most of our world due because of the limited range of what we can hear.
Some scientists say that every cell in our body has a sound, and therefore, so does every organ. If we could hear our body, it would sound like a beautiful chord when we’re in tune, and cacophonous when we’re stressed. When we’re upset and stressed, our body sounds like an orchestra with instruments playing out of tune, and perhaps even playing another melody.

“My first Sound Healing experience with was absolutely amazing!! When Shira opened her mouth and those angelic sounds came out, they seemed to open up and energize parts of my body that I didn't know existed. I felt an immediate shift. When I left the session I felt energetic, powerful and power filled.”
