In addition to Shira’s corporate background, she has leveraged her God-given intuitive gifts and built a business dedicated to helping those who have lost loved ones, and those who need spiritual insight and intuitive business advice. Shira has worked with families of missing people and has used her intuitive abilities successfully in locating missing people and missing pets.

As a proud mother to her young daughter, when Shira’s not holding an open house or searching for the absolute best property for her client, she enjoys the mother-daughter time, spiritual development, energy healing, walks on the boardwalk, indoor cycling, playing with her dog and Persian cat, shopping, dining out and spending time with family and friends.
