I always loved the words 'Life Coach'.  I wanted one. Someone to show me the way and cheer for me!   A brilliant concept and an 'upbeat' way of supporting people.

 

My dad, Rabbi Avrohom Karbal A'H always wanted me to be a therapist. From a VERY young age he

would discuss sophisticated ideas with me, asking for my analyzations, shedding his brilliant light on my internal

thoughts and perspectives.  He would always end our talks with 'you should be a therapist'.  

​

I didn't want to be a therapist. I wasn't attracted to the psychology track.  I wanted to do it my way.  So I set off on my path learning many different healing modalities over the span of twenty years including Nature Based Life Coaching, Hakomi, NLP, Art therapy, Breathwork, Group Work, Drama Therapy, Trauma healing, Somatic, Non Dominant hand writing and deeply influenced by 'The Work' by Byron Katie.   I have done extensive work in the area of Guided Imagery and creating new brain patterns that replace old patterns born out of life experience.  My background in Judaism and Chassidic philosophy bring all healing back to integrating a person's own Divine Alignment into any treatment.

 

My nature based coach training and subsequent apprenticeship had a profound impact on what I do. Understanding patterns in nature helps me help my clients track negative subconscious patterns that may be blocking them from experiencing their birthright - JOY! My training in NLP (neuro linguistic programming) has helped me integrate forward thinking and how to utilize past experiences to get what we want for our future. I am in a constant state of learning, and love how healing modalities are constantly changing and growing in new directions. I am open, flexible and strive to keep on the cutting edge of self help advancements.

​

 My experience is that when you uncover negative patterns and become aware of habits that are self sabotaging, you have done 50% of the work!  Results can be astonishingly quick and can often help you become infinitely clear and closer to where you want to be.  

​

My underlying theme is to help you access your unique wisdom and gifts.  Helping you stop the 'compare and despair' cycle and live a life that feels authentic and 'vertically' aligned with your soul's calling. I trust you and your process and always invite you to do it your way, in your time.  I believe you have everything inside of you to heal.  I believe in the Spiritual Law of Nature that there is always the 'Refua' befoer the 'Maka' - The healing tincture has been created before the pain.  

​

RETREATS:

 

I began to run the Awakening Retreats several years ago when I felt the necessity for a deep healing community experience for my clients.  The Retreats run several times a year for men and women separately.  The Retreat is a deep reset for your mind, body and soul and typically are attended once per participant.  There are times we allow someone to attend twice or more depending on the needs. Sometimes, as people grow and evolve, they want to exsperience it again as they have the ability to go deeper into the experience.  The Retreat is an opportunity to look carefully at the story of your life.  The story that is running your life, and the story you want to create.  On the Retreat, you will be cared for by staff members who have been through the weekend and mostly volunteer to come back and support others.  The experience is expertly crafted to take you into the depth of the subconscious experience, the 'backroads' of your psyche and uncover and recover your essential and true self.  Feel free to look through the testimonials to see what people are saying.  I say we have a success rate in the 90th percentages and are humbled by the impact of this work.  It keeps evolving and never gets old.

CLASSIC COACHING:

 

At the moment, I am only taking clients that have come through The Awakening Retreats.  I also have several amazing coaches and practitioners I can refer you to if I can't accomodate you schedule.  I love collaborating with amazing people and have an incredible community of like minded people I work with. 

​

MARRIAGE COACHING:

​

I work with couples who have both attended the Retreats.  I can help track the patterns that are not working and creating better communication through the latest and most effective tools.   We will work on your love languages and how you can become each others best friend and ally.  I utilize the unique opportunity that couples work offers.  It just gets super REAL.  Intimacy affords the opportunity to heal the deepest part of each of you.  Couples Coaching requires a purchase of at least ten sessions.  New habits and ways of supporting each other take time!  Get ready to put your WHOLE SELF IN!
