The resistance holding you back from lasting change isn't a flaw—it's an outdated safety mechanism.

With integration coaching you can learn to:

  • identify and let go of unhelpful behaviors

  • resolve inner conflict

  • end the cycle of overwhelm

  • move from resistance to flow.


Stop battling yourself and unlock your true potential so you can achieve your goals.

Feeling stuck and don’t know how to take action?

Internal resistance is exhausting and impacts everything from relationships to professional output.

The Integration Studio teaches you how to resolve the inner conflict that causes the brakes to go on.

Learn the skills and tools needed to drive your personal and professional goals forward.

Insight is Not Change. Integration Is.

Make Emotional Health a Practice

Think of The Integration Studio like a yoga studio for your inner world. Just as you go to a studio to stretch your body and build physical strength, you come here to hone your emotional resilience and build capacity.

To be ALL of you, you need a place where it is safe to explore all of you.

Using a blend of IFS (Internal Family Systems) theory, peer support practices and somatic integration tools, we teach you how to process your emotions, feel your feelings and get back in your body.

Integration is the most important part of the healing process. But most people don't know how to do it.

Why come to the Studio?

​You might need integration if...

  • You are trying to adjust to a major life transition. Something significant has shifted—Your career or employment status, maybe it’s the end of a relationship, or the death of a loved one? Perhaps you’ve moved to a new place or are facing a new life stage like retirement or menopause? You feel unable to "land" in your new reality.

  • You are struggling with procrastination or overwhelm. You have the strategy and the goals, but when it’s time to take action, your internal system says NO and slams on the brakes.

  • You shut down when the pressure is on. Instead of tackling your to-do list, your nervous system freezes up. You find yourself scrolling your phone or doing anything to numb the overwhelm.

  • Success feels unsafe.
    Things go well for a while, but then you derail your progress. A part of you is worried that if you actually reach your goals, something bad might happen.

Hi, I'm Shayla Malek

I founded The Integration Studio to move emotional health out of the realm of abstract theory and into a consistent, accessible practice.

I bring a unique dual-lens to my coaching. I combine 25+ years of peer support experience with specialized IFS (Internal Family Systems) informed training, and nearly 30 years of Systems Analysis and Human-Centered Design at leading tech companies and global corporations.

My career was built on studying user behavior to enhance the digital human experience. Now, I apply that same analytical empathy to your internal world and help you find the best flow for your own complex, intelligent system.

Using my practical 5 S's Framework and other resources, we  identify where the friction is coming from and help you resolve the core emotional conflicts that keep you blocked.
