Certified, Shmertified... I've Got What It Takes: Experience, Character, Wisdom.
In my life I obtained many diplomas, certificates and credentials. I have never taken them out of their containers or hung them on my walls. Throughout my time in the academic, industrial, and coaching fields, I have encountered many people who displayed multiple credentials but were lame professionals. Authentic qualifications are earned through lived experience.
My true qualifications are not dependent on external sources but rather on my vast life experience. Each wrinkle on my face, whether earned from joy or seriousness, represents a lesson learned through personal experience, sometimes taking the more challenging path.
These lessons have aided in my personal development and can be valuable gifts to you, if you choose to accept them.
If you're on my site, it's not a coincidence! You had a calling.
I really know it can be intimidating or confusing to confront your pain or challenges, especially in front of a stranger.
But keep in mind:
If you're still unsure, feel free to message me here, and I'll do my best to help.
I was fortunate to be born into a loving home with wonderful parents. My father, an engineer, instilled in me a technical attitude, along with a can-do attitude, fearless approach to trying new things, and a critical and inquisitive mind that always questions the status quo. My mother provided me with emotional support, affection, undivided love, and her special hugs which instilled in me a deep sense of compassion and empathy. Being the first baby in my extended family, I was showered with love and affection during my formative years. All of these experiences laid a strong foundation for my character, like a cast made of steel.
My childhood had its challenges. I was always the smallest and weakest in my group of friends and had my share of rejection, insecurity and frustrations. To make matters worse, my mother had taught me not to fight back but rather to tell her if anyone hurt me. As a result, I started first grade feeling like a complete pushover. I endured a year of intense bullying and misery until my parents finally intervened and signed me up for Judo classes. Through Judo, I gained self-confidence and learned to never give up and stand up for myself. One day, I finally gathered the courage to say "NO" and fiercely stood up to my bully. That life-changing moment taught me the true power of setting boundaries. Since then, no one has dared to hurt me or take advantage of me.
I've shared this lesson with thousands of people, and it's incredible to see how it has transformed their lives.
As a contribution to the younger generation and a healthier society, I wrote a children's book on my early childhood experiences with overcoming bullying named: "No More (Inspirational and Motivational Children's Books Series Book 2)" . You may get it on Amazon Kindle.
Soon after overcoming my first challenge, another huge one came my way. At the age of 10, my teacher took our class on a field trip to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem. The exhibits I saw shook me to my core, and I returned home completely traumatized. No one around me seemed to notice, so I had to deal with my post-traumatic hell on my own. Over the next few years, I worked hard to heal myself. This experience not only taught me about trauma and its effects, but also gave me a personal understanding of it.
Over the past two decades, I have been able to successfully help numerous people heal from deep-seated trauma and severe PTSD.
When I turned 18, I was drafted into the army and became an airborne paratrooper. It didn't take long for me to experience life-threatening combat situations, rubbing shoulders with death. I can't even begin to count how many times I nearly lost my life. Serving in the army for 15 years, including the frontline during wartime, completely transformed my outlook on life. I didn't realize it at the time, but these experiences taught me some of the most profound spiritual lessons that have become an integral part of my being. I learned to fully appreciate life and seize every moment, to live here and now, in the present moment, to find the driving "Why" in my choices, and to recognize the importance of patterns in life.
These lessons and memories are etched into my soul and have become invaluable gifts that I always offer to my clients.
My academic journey started with horticulture studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. It was during this time that I fell in love with computers and programming. Being self-taught, I acquired various computing skills. Over nearly a decade, I earned my Ph.D. in Reproductive Immunology and Molecular Biology at the Sackler School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University, Israel. Throughout this period, I continued to expand my computing knowledge and used it in various aspects of my thesis work. As I was completing my Ph.D., a new scientific field, Bioinformatics, was born. It was a perfect match for me, and I accepted a position at the newly established European Bioinformatics Institute in Cambridge, UK. Over the next decade, I held multiple roles in the Biotech industry (USA / Israel) and a teaching position at Bar Ilan University, Israel.
My early professional years embedded in me a scientific, investigative, questioning, doubting and highly practical approach to life. Although I have developed a broad spiritual perspective, I always keep both feet on the ground. I never take anything for granted. I ask questions, study issues in depth, and seek to uncover what lies beneath the surface.
Aged 37, as my career advanced, my personal life was in a trench. I was stuck in a toxic relationship that felt like a jailhouse. I knew nothing about personal responsibility, conscious choice making or principles and integrity. I lived day-by-day, very lonely, frustrated and unhappy. I spent long days riding single-tracks with my best friend, my mountain bike Edna, trying to escape my dull reality.
One day I went into the company's library to search for a scientific publication. My hand was drawn magically, "by accident", to one of the books in front of me. I opened the book, and it described much of my life so accurately, that I couldn't stop reading. I stood there in the aisle, reading for two hours and borrowed the book. At that very same day I fell ill and spent three long days doing nothing but reading. I was not the same person anymore. That book changed my life forever. I embarked on an extremely deep and courageous journey of personal development, total transformation and dramatic paradigm shifts.
That book was "The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R. Covey. To this day, Stephen has been one of my greatest mentors.
Back in 2002, my world fell apart. The biotech company I worked for collapsed while I was going through a rough divorce. I decided to start fresh, so I left everything behind and moved to an empty apartment with no job, belongings or money. I felt more free than ever before. I didn't need much to be happy - I slept on a Yoga mat, cooked on a fuel camping stove, and used a big cardboard box as a dining table. It was during this time that I met Efrat, my soulmate. Soon, we embarked on a magical journey to our first festival together. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. I swear until that moment I didn't know the term "spirituality" even existed. It was like stepping into sunlight and blue sky after being in a dark jail for 40 years. It shook me and stirred my soul. I suddenly found myself, my true freedom and my high purpose. I realized I was spiritual throughout my life without knowing it.
From then on, I was on a quest to discover this new, exciting, uncharted world. I studied everything I could get my hands on, both ancient and modern concepts and methodologies. I learned and practiced energy work, touch therapy, meditation, coaching, emotional release techniques, and so much more.
As I began teaching and mentoring others, I discovered something that changed the course of my life. At first, it was just a side gig while I continued my work teaching at the university. But as I spent more time helping people with their problems, I felt a deep sense of fulfillment that I had never experienced before. I had finally found my true purpose in life. While my work as a scientist had always felt important, it paled in comparison to the impact I was making on people's lives through mentoring. I realized that my greatest contribution to society was not through my research, but through the relationships I was building and the lives I was changing. From that moment on, I knew that mentoring and teaching others was what I was meant to do, and I have never looked back.
I quickly gave up my "old world" to pursue my new fulfilling passion full-time.
Now, two decades later, I have no regrets. I have gained substantial experience, knowledge, and expertise I now share for the benefit of my clients.
When you choose to work with me one-on-one, no matter through which program, we are creating a special relationship. No matter when or where, my energy and presence will be with you, guiding. It is about your dreams and aspirations, your growth and impact.
For me, it is much more than a business. It's a real journey of bonding with people and a way for me to manifest my life's mission and high purpose - which is love.
