Your Sacred Space for Connection with your Mind Body & Spirit
I am the owner of Shapiro Holistic Health LLC and Soul Healing Center. After spending the first 17 years of my adult life providing traditional mental health counseling, I felt the urge to teach people the importance of connecting the mind, body and soul.I began studying energy work in 2017, leading to a certification as a Reiki practitioner and obtaining a Reiki Master Teacher level in 2021. I also completed a year long study at Institute of Integrative Nutrition to become an integrated health and nutrition coach, followed by obtaining a National group fitness instructor certification. Between 2019 and 2022, I focused on personal growth and healing, which resulted in deeper spiritual awakening and connection, that led to integration of various metaphysical tools into my healing work with clients. In May 2022, I opened the doors to Soul Healing Center, intending to provide a sacred space for people who are looking for a place where they can explore their spirituality and heal their mind, body, and spirit. In December 2023, I completed professional-level certification to become a Mind Body Spirit Release Practitioner. In January 2024, I also became a board-certified Holistic Health Practitioner. Aside from being a business owner, I am a wife to my college sweetheart, we have two kids (Elissa & Joshua) and two cats (Maxine & Julia).

Living here has given me the most stability I ever had in my life, this is where I met my husband and started our family, it has truly become my home.
