My Story

In 2004 when my mother passed away, I realized how out of balance my life was. Although I had created “Balanced Moments” years before, in 1996, and had made significant progress during those years, I was still out of balance when my mother died.

On a physical level, I had many health issues and was 90 pounds heavier than I am today.

On an emotional level, I was burned out.

Born and raised in Israel, I had lived through 4 wars, twice as a kid, once as a soldier and once as a parent. These wars gave me an opportunity to experience fear and anxiety inside and out from every angle.

Loss and pain were also part of life as I spent almost 10 years either “bed resting” or in the hospital, trying to have children; I was pregnant eight times, losing one pregnancy after another.

I am so grateful for the two wonderful children I have today, but those crucibles took a toll on my inner peace. When my mother died I realized that I was still living in fear.

On a spiritual level, I felt that in her passing, my mother left me a gift: a real desire to change my life, so that I didn’t end up like her: miserable and sick with heart attack at 55 and dead ten years later.

Standing there over my mother’s grave, I made a choice to change my life.

I took actions to restore balance and to nurture my body, mind and spirit.

I lost 90 pounds, which I’ve maintained through a daily program of recovery from food addiction.

I’ve hired a coach.

I got certified as a life-coach myself.

What I’ve learned is that even when things fall apart, there is always an opportunity for growth.

Today, I am happy and healthy. I transitioned from pain and suffering to creating the life I wanted and living my potential.

The combination of 15 years of healing experience alongside powerful life-coaching skills, has created a unique and holistic approach that allows me to walk the talk, live life to the fullest and be who I was meant to be.

I work with highly motivated women, who are ready to take their successes to the next level and are willing to invest their time, energy and emotions into themselves.

Typically women I work with are stressed, high achievers who are too busy to take care of themselves. They are buried in work, can’t find time for self-care and are always striving for balance.

I help them create balance and fulfillment in their lives.

I help them balance work and life, being and doing, caring for themselves and others and connect who they are with what they do.

I help them identify and break through what’s holding them back from living their dreams.

It is only through my own struggles, perseverance and ultimate success that I am able to guide others to a life of Balanced Moments.
