Since completing my Master’s in Divinity from the Rabbinical College of America in Morristown, NJ, in 2007, I have devoted my career as a “culture chaplain” to exploring and integrating the profound intersections of spirituality, creativity, and personal healing.
Over the past 15 years, I have worked as a teacher of Jewish mysticism, writer, animator, filmmaker, and musician, serving communities in Pittsburgh, PA, and Miami, FL, where my family and I have resided since 2018. Some of you might be familiar with my work with Shmideo and Chillent.
In 2022, I expanded my commitment to holistic well-being by earning my certification in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy from The Embody Lab, one of the pioneering online programs in the field. This transformative journey allowed me to study with leading experts, including Dr. Richard Schwartz (Internal Family Systems), Dr. Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing), and Dr. Deb Dana (Polyvagal Theory), equipping me with cutting-edge tools to help individuals navigate trauma and rediscover balance.
That same year, I deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection through certification in the Mind/Body & Soul coaching program led by Rabbi Daniel Schonbuch, LCSW. This unique program harmoniously blends the existential wisdom of Dr. Viktor Frankl with the latest advancements in somatic medicine, offering an integrative and culturally sensitive approach to healing.
In addition to my formal training, I have pursued a rich path of personal and professional growth. Since 2022, I have engaged in my own individuation work under the guidance of renowned Jungian analyst Dr. Stanton Marlan, exploring the profound depths of the psyche and the transformative power of archetypes.
Today, I bring together my diverse experiences to support individuals in reconnecting with their inner selves, fostering resilience, and embracing wholeness through integrative somatic practices, creative expression, and spiritual exploration.
In 2025, I launched FeelMore LLC as the parent company for Somatic Joy, and Redemptone Records, where some of South Florida’s most soulful and talented musicians and multimedia artists are collaborating for a new era of transcendent, feel-good, connective musical performances and living theatrical experiences for a connected and thriving One World Groove.
