About Me
The Work found me by accident, when I was going through a personal crisis. After practicing by myself for some time, I decided to go to my first residential School with Byron Katie in Los Angeles California, in March 2023. Since then I have met and learnt from Byron Katie two more times at her Center in Ojai, California, have attended numerous courses offered by other experienced facilitators, and have been practicing the Work in a global community of practitioners.
To put it simply, the Work has transformed my inner, hence outer life.
Specifically, the Work has helped me with..
-
Emerging clarity of my authentic self
-
Needing less approval from others
-
Courage to know & express my truth
-
Ability to feel love, and joy readily
-
A trust that peace is possible
-
Ability to question my thinking
-
Making difficult decisions
-
Be more open and understanding
-
Loving and accepting my body
-
Reduced inter-personal conflicts​
​I have extensive experience facilitating others and being facilitated in the Work. I have held people in a variety of stressful situations, and have offered courses for advanced practitioners in the Work. I also run voluntary initiatives to move the Work in the global community, and to learn, share and grow with others there.
Being IFS informed, I recently started offering IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy) for those who are interested, increasing the pace of transformation for those who are already comfortable navigating their inner worlds through meditative self-inquiry.
My experiences have strengthened and deepened my practice in the Work, and together with the impact I have had the privilege of witnessing, I feel called to share the Work with those who are new to it.
From facilitating people across cultures & geographies, I know that the condition of the human mind is quite similar. No one seems to be exempt from the confusion that the mind creates - all in its good intent to serve us. The tool that wants to be a friend, can also become our enemy. I want to share this way that helped me befriend my mind again - with more of you, so that you may relish the same gift that I have.
