MEET COACH SHAKIRA


I  am Shakira Bapoo, a Professional Relationship, Intimacy, Sex, and Alternative Lifestyle Coach devoted to helping individuals and couples break free, heal deeply, and create the love and life they truly deserve. My work is not just about coaching; it is about holding space for you to be raw, real, and unapologetically yourself.


I guide people through the profound process of releasing toxic attachments, restoring emotional balance, and building relationships rooted in trust, respect, and genuine intimacy. With a warm, inclusive, and trauma-informed approach, I help you explore your inner world, embrace conscious sexuality, and discover alternative lifestyles in a way that feels safe, empowering, and aligned with your truth.


I am the author of Reclaiming You – How to Escape Toxic Attachment, Heal Deeply, and Begin Again, a compassionate roadmap to reclaiming your emotional freedom, and The Big Swing – A Definitive Guide to the Swingers’ Lifestyle for South Africans, the first book of its kind on the African continent exploring ethical non-monogamy. These works reflect my passion for blending deep emotional insight with practical tools that empower you to transform your relationships and reclaim your sense of self.


What makes my coaching unique is the powerful balance of empathy with action. I do not just listen—I equip you with strategies to move forward. Whether you are facing relationship challenges, exploring your sexuality, or embracing an alternative lifestyle, I walk beside you with clarity, compassion, and unwavering support. Together, we will uncover your power, expand your capacity for pleasure, and align your life with your deepest desires.


If you are ready to step into a life of fearless intimacy, authentic love, and extraordinary connection, I would be honored to guide you on your journey to becoming unashamedly, unapologetically YOU
