Since graduating from rabbinical college in 2007, I’ve devoted my life to the integration of spirituality, creativity, and embodied healing.

For 20+ years, I’ve worked as a teacher of Jewish mysticism, writer, musician, animator, and filmmaker—bringing depth and creativity to communities in Pittsburgh, PA, and now Miami, FL, where I live with my family.

Putting my music and film-making career on hold to work as an essential worker at Trader Joe’s during the COVID-pandemic, I found myself speaking to hundreds of concerned citizens a week. It was through their encouragement that I began my path as a somatic practitioner, and sought the education and training to complete my studies over the next several years.

As we emerged from the pandemic fog in 2022, I participated in a first-of-its-kind, online Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy certification through The Embody Lab, where I studied groundbreaking healing practices with masters in the field, including:

• Dr. Richard Schwartz (Internal Family Systems)

• Dr. Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing)

• Dr. Arielle Schwartz (Polyvagal Theory)

That same year, I completed the Mind/Body & Soul Coaching certification with Rabbi Daniel Schonbuch, LCSW, a program blending somatic medicine with existential psychology, inspired by the work of Dr. Viktor Frankl and Chabad Chassidic philosophy.

I have also studied individuation and supervised active imagination with acclaimed humanist psychologist Dr. Stanton Marlan, helping me explore and decode Jung’s understandings of psyche, archetypes, and alchemy - along with his protege’s, Dr. Erich Neumann’s understandings of Kabbalah and Chassidism.

As a practitioner of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), and the new Rest and Restore Protocol - I am thrilled to offer non-invasive, evidence-based nervous system regulation that is truly changing peoples’ lives.

Grateful to be part of this emerging New Wave of embodied healing.
