Freedom by the Sea
Retreat for Women

As a psychotherapist and group facilitator, I have experience in working with individuals, couples, and families of all backgrounds. My goal is to create a safe space for my clients to explore their inner process and achieve personal transformation. I am trained in traditional psychotherapy as well as mindfulness, drama, somatic movement, and visual arts therapies. I view every negative or positive experience as an opportunity for growth, healing and discovering the beauty that life has to offer in the face of  sometimes traumaticevents. http://www.mysteryhearttherapy.wordpress.com/

She developed and teaches “makom B”Maagal”, a method that builds a toolbox of creative expression skills for everyone to be an Artist! She is adamant that it’s our birthright to enjoy connecting to each other through ecstatic, improvisational circle with song, dance and drum and that this natural, harmonious union is one of God’s greatest gifts to us for healing ourselves and our relationships.
