My first encounter with Rebirthing was when I was five years old. Really, right when I first started developing self awareness. For a five year old, such a powerful breathing of this kind felt like running through a field or climbing up a tree - a feeling of total freedom. As a child, it is clear to you that everyone has the same experience as you. But once you realize the truth, that not everyone experiences this “other kind” of breathing, something inside you blocks up (like many other experiences in our lives). For years I tried co-existing with this “unusual” situation, and trained myself in living a “normal” life, with spontaneous Rebirthing breathing. Between the ages of 26 and 30, I experienced three major illnesses, and what got me back on my feet again was the breathwork, and choosing life (breathing is life, after all).

As a Rebirther, it is clear to me now that suppressing the experience of breathing - the experience of life - led me to this place of energetic blockage, and created illnesses in the body. In the same way, it is clear to me that once I made the decision to choose life, I was led to the right path in my life.

​

In 1988, I found myself participating, completely “by accident”, in a Loving Relationships Training (LRT) workshop, where I experienced for the first time a guided Rebirthing process. It was then - for the first time in my life - that I realized that I was OK. I realized the Rebirthing breathing process is the breathing-in of life, and certainly not an illness. I continued on this path and participated in more personal processes, and prioritized healing my own body. For all those years since, I have been serving the planet as a Rebirther, in both personal and group sessions. And the experiences are many. it is a great privilege to me to see how people create change in their lives, how they better their relationships, how they heal their bodies, and how they free themselves of birth patterns and also from difficult illnesses, and choose to birth babies in a more positive way into this world, with breathwork, and in trying to minimize the birth trauma.

To better experience and understand the power of breath, to better understand that this is the deepest way to reach the subconscious mind, to better experience, trust and be grateful for the breathwork that knows how to do the work “on its own”, and knows where and how to treat and heal.

The Rebirthing process is most definitely a process in which we are born to a new and better place in our lives. It is a gentle and safe process, that heals the physical body, and our understanding of life and spirit. In order to receive a “license to breathe” and take it with you as a lifelong tool, one needs to experience Rebirthing with a Rebirther for ten sessions. That is the time necessary to teach the breather how to process the mind’s materials. During the breathwork process, we sometimes experience emotional or physical drama, and as it is the breathing’s job to clean and teach, it is important for the process to be guided by a Rebirther, to birth the breather to a new and safe place. As a Rebirther I know that the person who commits to support another, has to serve as a clear mirror, as it is a great responsibility to walk in another person’s soul.
