Free Therapy

Shiri started singing on her childhood staircase and has been connected with rhythm and dance for as long as she can remember. Free Therapy marks her return to performing after years of raising three daughters, building a career, and keeping her musical spirit close to heart. A Somatic Therapist, Dietitian, and singer-songwriter, she has created interdisciplinary projects blending original songs, visual storytelling, and embodied expression. She is currently writing and developing her debut album, exploring themes of identity, motherhood, and reclaiming one’s voice.

Rooted in classic rock, ’80s and ’90s alternative, Shiri is inspired by strong female artists like Alanis Morissette and Pink while gravitating toward songs that evoke joyful nostalgia. For Shiri, live music is its own form of therapy—a chance to get loud and awaken the soulful inner artist in us all.
