My philosophy

I believe we are incredibly strong, beautiful, and courageous. We also come from a rich, deep heritage of survival and resilience. It’s up to us to decide what’s important to us and who we are by speaking to each other, learning together, creating community and wrestling with the tough questions about how to live as Jewish women in the 21st century. Through coaching, group discussions in private homes, retreats, and other special workshops, my intention is to assist Jewish women to create a life they love and leave a legacy they can be proud of. My hope is that this website will become a forum for communicating the ideas that most tug at our hearts and minds.

As Jewish women, we have the same hopes, dreams, problems, and aspirations as other woman in our society today. The difference is that along with our desire to have a life we love, we often have greater than average expectations placed on us by our parents and the Jewish community. For those who have left major Jewish population centers, we may find we have to twist ourselves to fit into a cultural norm that is not one we grew up with. Or we may have grown up with no or little Jewish background and now we find we want more connection to other Jews and what it means to be Jewish. The question becomes- how can we begin to live authentically, coming from a place inside ourselves of deep knowing? How can we live more authentically as women and where do we fit into the Jewish landscape?
