Have you known that it’s time for change in some parts of your life – and you’re now approaching the moment of truth?
Are you tired of trying to fit into a box – maybe for years – that’s become too cramped and small for who you are becoming?
Do you sense there’s much more waiting for you – but you’re not quite sure what’s on the other side, or how to get there?
You’re not losing your mind, I promise.
You are simply dancing with the unknown.
These liminal, in-between periods are truly as sacred as periods of “achievement” – and you absolutely deserve the fullest love, support and guidance as you walk this journey.
Embrace the bigness of who you are.

When My Son Had a Seizure, It Meant Letting Go of Everything I Thought I Knew
My whole life’s work has been working to support the most sensitive, perceptive, and intuitive people. For me, this calling came into ever sharper focus when my then 7-year-old son, Erez, had his first seizure. At the time, I was THE foremost integrative pediatric brain expert that most people would have sent my son to see. As I held my groggy son in my arms after his seizure, I knew one thing for certain. Even as the expert, focusing on his physical body wasn’t the answer. It was his energetic body that needed help.
I realized this was exactly what had been missing all along in my training. Doctors get no education in what it means to be sick of heart or of spirit. And it’s not just missing in medicine. Our society has discredited deeper ways of knowing–intuition, sensing, spiritual practice, connection to the sacred and so on. They have long been bad words, and many avoid them—for fear of being laughed at, discredited, or dismissed. But just because we don’t have vocabulary to discuss it doesn’t mean that it’s not real.
My son is now 14 years-old, seizure-free, and in excellent health. But his healing process took me on a powerful journey that taught me all about healing our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies.
This journey took me to the Amazon rainforest, to a village in the Andes mountains, and to the Valley of Longevity for me to learn of the deep and magnificent ways that nature heals.
It’s taken me to indigenous Aboriginal sacred sites to learn how their brilliance and ancestral knowledge can guide us to live in balance.
It’s taken me to Oaxacan cemeteries to learn their ideas around death and honoring the dead.
It’s taken me to learn from powerful healing practices by way of indigenous people, elders and medicine men and women.
It took me to conversations about healing with the Masai people in Africa and what it means to be an elder.
It took me to many kinds of healing ceremonies.
It took me to plant medicines and ethnobotany.
It took me to the art and science of astrology and numerology.
It took me through light and shadow, deep into my own death and rebirth.
It took me to all that went underground when the witches were burned.
