Who Am I
Thank you for your interest in learning about who I am.
I was born and raised in Israel, where I earned a Masters Degree in Political Science
from the Tel- Aviv University.
For the past decade I have been living with my husband and 4 children in Walnut
Creek, California, at the foot of Mt. Diablo. Since 1997, I have embarked upon a
new path which changed my life forever.
I spent 5 years studying for a Doctorate (PhD) in Holistic Nutrition from Clayton
College of Natural Health (www.ccnh.edu).
The College is accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners
(AADP) and the American Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board (ANMAB), and licensed
with the Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education, a government agency. To
obtain a PhD in Holistic Nutrition from the College, a student must have a Masters
degree. Only then can he/she undertake studies through a number of preliminary courses
and a core curriculum, including general nutrition, immune system health, detoxification,
herbology, human anatomy, enzymatic nutritional therapy, vitamin and mineral studies,
nutrients, relationship of diet and disease, geriatric nutrition and nutrition and
mental health. Doctoral students also have to prepare an original and practical
dissertation.
To become a Certified Clinical Herbalist I trained for 4 years at the California
School of Herbal Studies (www.cshs.edu)
and at the Oholone School of herbal studies (www.ohlonecenter.com) , both considered the best herb schools
in California.
I am professionally trained in Mind Body Spirit Medicine (www.cmbm.org) , and in the use of flower essences. Learning
new information and incorporating new knowledge into my practice is an undertaking
challenge that I am devoted to; I continuously attend seminars and participate in
professional training programs in the fields on nutrition, herbal medicine and mind
body techniques. Caring for patients and educating people with my own knowledge
energizes me, touches me deeply and invigorates my spirit. As a Holistic Nutritionist,
my life mission is to empower people to improve their lives through nutrition,
herbs and other lifestyle modification.
