In my twenties, I graced the runways of Yves Saint Laurent and Jean Paul Gaultier.

Four decades later, I’ve traded haute couture for higher consciousness.

Born in Israel to a multi-cultural, multi-faith, and often turbulent family, I grew up with a severe stutter, undiagnosed learning challenges, and anorexic tendencies. Despite low self-esteem, life ushered me into an unexpected chapter—a ten-year modeling career in Paris that placed me on the covers of high-fashion magazines but left me yearning for something deeper.

That yearning led me back to school, where I earned a PhD in transformative learning from the California Institute of Integral Studies. I homeschooled my children and founded an alternative elementary school for them based on my original W.E. (Whole Education) model. I also trained the school’s faculty in that approach. Through these experiences, I discovered my calling: to help evolve human and planetary consciousness by helping people awaken to their spiritual nature and reclaim their creative agency.

Over the past two decades, I developed the Expansive Living Method™—a practical, soul-rooted framework that empowers people to shift from victimhood to conscious co-creation.

The Expansive Living Method™ is also the foundation for the Facilitator Certification™ for therapists, healers, facilitators, coaches, educators, and community leaders. Its goal is to unite spiritual awareness with practical tools for personal healing and planetary transformation—helping space holders stay grounded, support others through uncertainty, and respond to the needs of our time.

I serve on the faculty of InnerTrek, a pioneer in state-regulated training for psilocybin facilitators.

Together with my spouse, Leon Segal, PhD, I co-founded the Expansive Living Project™ to help individuals and teams apply the Expansive Living Method™ and increase their positive impact in the world.

I also host the Spiritual Maven Circle, an online sanctuary for women practicing the Expansive Living™ Method and integrating it into their daily living.

Living a Spiritual Life in a Material World opened the door to more than 100 speaking engagements, including my TEDx talk. My second book, Shift Calling, carried that work forward; both books have won awards. Most recently, I created the Mystical Moment Messages™ card deck, inviting people to weave spiritual qualities into everyday life.

I am a licensed psilocybin facilitator in Oregon and Colorado, a certified Emotion Code Practitioner, and a Compassion Key Master Practitioner.

Through my programs, writing, and teaching, I remain committed to helping space holders and the people they serve move through fear, disconnection, and overwhelm toward lives of joy, magic, and conscious impact. In this way, I help evolve human and planetary consciousness.
