There is a kind of knowing that lives in the body.
It guides the breath and murmurs in the belly.
It whispers in the quiet space between one heartbeat and the next.
I help people find their way back to that.
I’m Chana. And if you’ve found your way here, something in you is probably already brewing.
For decades, I've been called to dig deep, face fears, embrace darkness, heal ancient wounds, and fall in love with myself. And somewhere along the way, I became someone who could hold others in a way that lets them finally stop performing and start feeling.
I’ve gleaned insights and harvested tools that support others through spiritual midwifery, where no pain is too unbearable, no cry too ugly, no blossoming too wondrous. People come in my door feeling they can lean into that. As if in the loving regard of a grandmother who sees their beauty.
I’ve spent years learning how to hold space, not just intellectually, but in my bones, for the kind of transformation that doesn’t happen in a single hour or “aha” moment. It emerges gently. In the way a seed doesn’t announce itself before it blooms.
That’s the work. Everything else is just the how.
I bear witness to life’s tragedies and wonders with a heart that says, “I see you, I hear you. I’m not going anywhere.”
My Jerusalem home is designed for connected gathering: meals, music, healing, and the kind of conversation that only happens when someone finally feels safe enough to be themselves.
Shabbat is the heartbeat of our lives. Every week, the table is full, and the bounty isn’t just in the colorful vegan fare but in what happens when people slow down together, stop producing, and start being. I’ve watched that shift around my table more times than I can count, and it’s taught me more about healing than any training ever has.
There’s an energy I’ve grown into that feels deeply feminine, of the earth, of roots, of slow and steady nourishment. It’s the energy of the wisdom keeper who doesn’t need to raise her voice to be heard. The one who brews the tea, tends the garden, and somehow, through her presence, makes everything feel a little more okay.
I don’t have all the answers. But I have a deep trust in the wisdom of life, faith in the healing process, and connection to the Divine I bring into every space I inhabit.
Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in a wide range of healing practices: Breathwork. Internal Family Systems. Somatic practices. EMDR. The Work of Byron Katie. NLP. Jewish Spiritual Therapy. Psychedelic-assisted therapy. Family Constellations. I didn’t pursue them to collect credentials, but rather to seek my own way back to wholeness. I learn them for my own healing, and their beauty spills over in the service to my clients
These aren’t a menu of tools I offer. They’re threads I’ve woven into my own being, like those I’ve gleaned from parenting, friendship, and intuiting energy. When we work together, whatever wants to emerge, emerges. I follow you.
What matters is that you feel held and seen, so that what you’ve been carrying for a very long time finally gets to breathe.
Meditation has been a lifesaving companion that guides me back to the stillness beneath everything, to my ever-expanding heart, to the magnificence of life. It has infused my prayer with a richness and fiery aliveness that makes Divine service a celebration.
I’ve translated that into hundreds of guided Jewish meditations, inviting you to come home to yourself and expand into the greatness of your soul. You can find them here.
This work isn’t for everyone. And that’s okay.
My clients have already begun their journey and have experience with inner work. They feel ready to go deeper, not for a quick fix but for a homecoming, an unfolding, an expansion of consciousness.
They are patient with themselves (even though some of their parts might be in a rush). Because real change doesn’t happen on a timeline. But it does emerge when you’re ready to show up, not to perform healing, but to allow it.
If that’s you, if these words are tugging at something quiet inside you, then I’d love to talk.
You’re coming face to screen with a woman who's dived into engineering, public speaking, education, theatrical directing, non-profit management, management consulting, e-commerce, graphic design, music, internet startups, and homemaking – to name a few. Find that dizzying? Welcome to the club!
I was born in Bogota, Colombia and moved to Miami, Florida at the age of five after a traumatic break-and-enter turned kidnapping attempt. I loved being on stage and have always been gregarious, but also struggled with tremendous anxiety and fear of... well... pretty much everything! In a combined attempt to run away from my fears and face them head on, I journeyed to Dartmouth College, where being a Latin American Jew was something of an anathema, but where I learned that all my passions could be embraced. I could be a theater junkie and engineering nerd all at once! After graduation, I moved to Sydney, Australia to explore an awesome country under the guise that I was working for a management consulting firm. There I finally started to live out my dream of exploring my Jewish roots.
After a year, it was time to go to the Holy Land to jump deeper into the world of Judaism and its multitude of cultural expressions. Only a few weeks into my stay, it was clear that I was home and would wander no longer in search of a place to plant my feet on the ground. I spent a year in Florida teaching high school English and saving up to move back to Jerusalem. There I met my husband, Dave, who I only had the wits to start dating after we each immigrated to Israel. We soon married and were blessed with our son, Aryeh Lev, who has been the greatest teacher, guidebook, and inspiration of my life. We have an open home where locals, artists, students, and tourists of all ages, cultures, and nationalities gather to share ideas, passions, and gourmet vegan fare.
In Israel, I've worked in formal and informal education, online retail and marketing, and, of course, coaching. I’ve dedicated the past two decades to all things personal growth, healing, nutrition, spirituality, and business development. I’ve devoured books and videos, attended workshops, interviewed experts, taken courses, and delved deep into the struggles and ascensions of the soul.
I’ve asked the hard questions about how we humans learn and grow best. This has been fueled by the fact that I’ve been an educator for two decades and home-schooled my son. My abounding excitement for learning always seems to spill out, be it in a formal education environment, or in one-on-one interactions with my students or clients.
I invite you to take your own journey of exploration with me. I work with individuals and groups both in-person and over video or phone, guiding them to reveal the peace, joy, and vitality inside them, helping them to grow their businesses, and coaching them to show up and rock it!
