Good to Meet You

Having grown up in a community of Holocaust survivors, I grew up surrounded by loss—which made death my nemesis and the spark that launched a journey of transformation across vastly different worlds: East and West, spiritual and social, personal and collective.

My journey took me from mystical experiences in India, to explorations bridging sexuality and spirituality, to facilitating dialogues between opposing groups in post-Apartheid South Africa.

As an author and facilitator, I explore how the search for meaning and belonging—sparked by loss—can lead to profound transformation and unexpected reconciliation, not only with the living but also with the dead.

My writing weaves together spiritual and sexual awakening, shadow and social identity, and the transmutation of ancestral trauma into sources of healing and new possibility.

I facilitated Tantric workshops, studied Advaita (non-duality) with spiritual teachers in India, and explored various Ashrams.

After moving to post-Apartheid South Africa in 1998, my focus shifted. I went through a profound awakening around race and social identity, which led me to work with the dynamics of race, gender, and power.

For several years, I worked under the mentorship of a prominent anti-Apartheid activist and leadership consultant, after which I joined the Center for Conscious Leadership in Johannesburg as a senior associate, co-facilitating dialogues and conflict resolution processes with executive leadership teams.

I studied Process Work at the Process Work Institute in Portland and am a certified Process Work Diplomate. I’ve taught at institutions internationally, including the South African College of Applied Psychology and the Process Work Institute in Portland, and currently serve on the faculty of Ecstatic Mysticism.

Since 2020, I meet with clients exclusively via Zoom, offering consultations to individuals and relationships across the U.S., Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Australia. I live in Portland, Oregon, with my husband, Robert, a visionary artist.

In my journey I explore themes of loss and the search for meaning, belonging and selfhood; spiritual and sexual awakening; shadow and social identity; the transformation of interwoven ancestral and personal trauma legacies, and the (often surprising) possibilities for healing and reconciliation this may reveal with the living as well as the dead.
