My story

I am not a story of breaking. I am a story of continuation.

There are moments in life that cannot be divided into ‘before’ and ‘after’ — only learned through, differently. My path began from a deep sensitivity to the world: a love for people, for color, for the quiet space between stillness and feeling.

A single moment

At the end of my ninth month of pregnancy with my daughter Adva, I was driving a replacement car on my way to the sports center I managed in Emek HaMaayanot. The seatbelt could not close around my pregnant body — a small technical detail that, in an unexpected way, saved both our lives. Near Nahal HaKibbutzim, the rear left wheel detached. In a split second, I was thrown inside the vehicle as it absorbed the impact. The car came to rest only because of a newly installed safety barrier — the only thing that kept us from the water below.

Coming home

What followed was a long road of complex surgeries and rehabilitation — relearning my body, and life inside it. I made a conscious choice not to remain in institutional care, but to return home: to my children, to my days, to my place as a mother. Strength didn’t arrive through pain. It arrived through love.

Inner compass

Through everything, one decision stayed steady: not to surrender. A quiet faith that mind, body and spirit move together — and that flexibility, in the body and in the mind, is sometimes what keeps a person alive. I chose hope, even where medicine offered none.

A second light

When I chose to bring my second daughter, Yehela Hodaya, into the world, I was warned against it. I chose trust over fear. She arrived gently, calmly — a pregnancy and a birth that felt almost like grace itself. Proof, again, that life is far wider than any prognosis.

From life into language

Today I understand: my life was never meant to be defined by rupture, but by expansion. My work, my studio, my creative world — they are all a continuation of that same journey. The ability to take depth, beauty, fragility and life, and translate them into color, texture and atmosphere. A visual language born from being fully alive.

Survival became art. Motherhood became strength. Life became something deeply, quietly beautiful.

Professional profile

Educator, facilitator and multidisciplinary therapist.

I am an educator, workshop facilitator and multidisciplinary therapist with broad experience working with children, youth and adults — alongside meaningful experience leading campaigns and a wide systemic view. My academic foundation is a B.Ed in Design and Education, which I have expanded over two decades into deep clinical and organizational practice.

What emerges is a rare combination: deep emotional understanding alongside the ability to take action and lead human and professional processes — all the way to results in the field. I work precisely at the point where the system needs care — whether that system is a family, a classroom, a clinical team or an organization.

I believe every process — therapeutic or business — starts with the same thing: real trust and honest communication.
