My Story

As a mother of three incredible children—two girls and a boy—I have lived a rich and fulfilling life. Today, I am further blessed with two magical grandchildren. They have brought a new depth and dimension to my existence, arriving at the perfect moment as our world enters a pivotal period in history. To stand as a grandmother and the matriarch of my family is a profound honour. Yet, this path has been anything but easy. As we journey through the spiraling rhythms of life—ascending, descending, and returning anew—each experience serves as a sacred mirror. These mirrors reveal the exact extent to which our thoughts, choices, and state of being align with the true essence of our soul.

What I believe humanity has forgotten is that we are souls first, having a human experience on Earth. We arrive with nothing, and we return with nothing. All that is truly available to us in this reality is the wealth of experience born from our choices—experiences that can either elevate or diminish us. To truly understand and embody unconditional love, we must appreciate the full arc of human emotions, from fear to love. We must navigate the conditions, belief systems, and circumstances that help us recognize the gift in both sides of existence. This is precisely why we live in a world of duality. Without polarity, we could not discern between good and bad, right and wrong, or dark and light. Both are necessary. It is simply our conditioning and perspective that dictate how we label the people, places, and situations around us.

My own understanding of this duality began early in life. I was born and raised in Bangalore, India, within the Christian faith. In January 1976, my parents, my sisters, and I arrived in Canada. I was just nine years old—shy, timid, and highly impressionable. Adjusting to a new country with a different climate, culture, and societal norms was difficult enough on its own. However, I also endured harsh stigma and relentless bullying from kids at school, a painful trial that carried all the way through the completion of elementary school. My parents also struggled deeply during this transition. Their professional achievements back home were not recognized in Canada, forcing them to start entirely from the bottom up to support their three children. Life became fundamentally different; we went from thriving in India to barely surviving in Canada.

Years later, a new chapter of profound contrast began. In 1992, I married my husband, who was born and raised within the Orthodox Jewish tradition in Israel to Moroccan parents. Our love for one another outweighed all the differences that could have otherwise prevented our union. Religion, culture, traditions, country, and language all presented distinct challenges. Looking back, religion was the only difference that played a truly significant role, and it took many years before we were able to reach a place of peace with it. My greatest learning from this union was seeing how these external differences create separation and a lack of understanding, keeping us bound to rigid belief systems and conditioning. Ultimately, this marriage sparked a deep curiosity within me about all religions. My research eventually showed me that there is only One God, and many paths that lead back to the Source of all things. As a Spiritual Teacher and Healer, my path has since been dedicated to understanding the true nature of God, our existence on Earth, and the ultimate purpose behind it all.

Through the sacred mirror of my life, I now see how every single hardship was a necessary catalyst for my spiritual awakening. The childhood wounds, moving to a new country, bullying, my family’s economic displacement, and the complex friction of an interfaith marriage were not punishments, but the very polarity required to illuminate my soul's purpose. They broke down my own conditioning, forcing me to look past external labels of religion, race, and status to find the universal truth underneath. Today, as a matriarch, I look at my children and grandchildren knowing that the greatest legacy I can leave them is not a life free of conflict, but the wisdom to navigate it. I stand fully in my calling as a teacher and healer, grateful for the entire arc of my journey. I am living proof that when we choose to view our deepest trials as paths to unconditional love, we transform our human experience into a divine return to the Source. What I know is that each of us, as a soul, have created our own unique path to lead us to Oneness - Remembering Sacred Union with the Divine.
