The time has gone by so fast! Over the past twenty years I've worked on a personal basis with over 24,000 people in training programs, workshops and individual coaching and counseling sessions, with the themes of change and transformation, relationships and communication, conflict solving, stress management, leadership and management skills.
And to think it all started in the Sinai desert…
When I was 21, I had my first real experience of what it meant to be totally ME, without worrying about what “image” I was projecting.
At that time, I was living in the Sinai desert, in charge of the logistics of different archaeological excavations.
For weeks I was alone - only the vast desert and me. I realized how small I was compared to the universe and yet I still had a role in it. I felt secure and whole. And I loved who I was.
Years later, I finished my BA degree and continued on to get a Masters. Because of my experience in the Sinai, I chose to study Archaeology and Historical Geography. Those years at the University made me an “intellectual” and I felt cynical towards anything that “smelled” of spiritualism and psychology.
At the age of 28, I had attained all the success I was looking for at that time. I was the youngest lecturer in the University, I worked as a head of a division of more than 200 people, and even built a museum. In addition to this, I had my friends, an apartment, everything I could ask for.
And then I woke up…
I realized that although I had fulfilled everybody's expectations (my parents, friends, society, etc…) I wasn't happy.
I came to the decision that my dues to society had been paid and it was now time for me…
I began to initiate my own growth.
I traveled the world in order to experience as much as possible and subsequently learned from the most extraordinary and unique teachers.
Within two years I commenced giving training programs in communication and leadership skills to managers. I had discovered my passion – sharing my life experiences with others, thus enabling them to grow. This passion has led me to search for more avenues of reaching people whilst going deeper within myself.
I enjoy working with others and observing their growth - be it through a group process, a counseling session, or a coaching program. I feel privileged to witness a person transform his or her life.
After years of working with people, my first experience in the desert became clear. All we need in order to grow and be happy is to love ourselves as we are. The circle was closed.
In the last few years, after a painful miscarriage, I ‘gave birth' to a whole new wisdom concerning feminine issues. I became an expert in the old wisdom of the feminine energy and qualities. I love working with women and leading workshops about feminine power, female and male energy and their importance in our lives today.
In addition to these teachings, I love to read, watch funny romantic movies, walk in nature, meditate, create rituals following Mother Earth's seasons, and eat good healthy food. I am delighted whenever I spend time with my best friend and lover, Nisandeh, and my most rewarding time is spent with our daughter, Thom, dancing and singing. (She also loves when I do funny faces in the mirror for her and make a fool of myself!)
