About Me
More about me
As a women's health physiotherapist, pilates instructor, self defense instructor and Rebbetzin, I believe strongly in empowering women. I have had the privilege of teaching brides for over ten years and try to meet each bride where they`re at. I have taught some brides in one session and others over twelve. I believe that the relationship between a kallah and her teacher is unique and offer my brides, should they wish, my friendship and support in their journey navigating their married lives as well. I am a physiotherapist with an interest in hydrotherapy as well as a pilates instructor and Watsu practitioner. I love that my career and my passion for mikva flow together as I see my patients heal in a medium that is transformative both spiritually and physically. My background in Martial arts and self defense has also guided my drive to empower women physically and I believe in teaching my brides to be empowered with their spiritual right to mikva and knowledge in this sphere too.
