Recent note:
I really want to thank you again for the session today. I feel it re-energized and have a boost to my healing process and you helped me release tension and connect my condition to things that I’ve been carrying in my system for many years. So, I’m very grateful for that. Thank you

The Somatic Experiencing® therapy with Jeffrey, was a dive into my deepest stuck emotions, making it possible to safely leave old luggage behind towards in the warm embrace of my inner being.
Jeffrey has a unique way of creating and holding a space where he led and accompanied me in this beautiful dimension of healing and transformation, that ultimately opened up space for the revelation of my true self.
Thank you Jeffrey, for your work, for your light, for all of the gifts that you share so lovingly.
Dhyan Or from "Imagin youth project"
I have been enjoying Jeff's lightwork for the past 27 years: first learning to sense energy with my hands, then participating in the gatherings of light he had organized in Jerusalem, later using his energy ball for peace in circles of Israelis and Palestinians, experiencing attunement, and learning emotion aid. At every juncture, I have found Jeff's calm and positive presence, his wisdom and experience, and his vision for peace to provide unique and irreplaceable help in unfolding the mystery and serving the transformation of our world.

Testimonial from an Michal SE student
I met Jeff as a student of Somatic Experiencing ™ when he was an assistant and had a very good and memorable experience with him there.
His assistance helped me have a very meaningful process during my practice sessions as a student of SE. In that practice, I was the client and I felt almost too exhausted to function. Jeff's instructions to the student who functioned as the therapist enabled a deep meaningful process, even a breakthrough, which lead to an unexpected, good effect in my personal life.
I was a member of a certain sport’s club back then where the social atmosphere was a bit aggressive, machoist, sexist and generally unsafe. I usually felt very tense and unsafe in that environment.
All of a sudden, after that practice, same club, same people, same environment, and I was at ease. That was a wonderful, unexpected change for me. I don't think I even realized how tense and unsafe that social environment made me feel until it was finally relieved. And all of a sudden, I could feel the difference.
Over a year later, when the circumstances were right for me and Zoom made Geography irrelevant, I approached Jeff for personal therapy.
We worked on my birth trauma, and again, after a while I could feel a tremendous improvement.
The most noticeable change was before performing my favorite extreme sport, rafting and kayaking.
In the past, I used to feel a very strong and deep foreshadowing anxiety just before practicing that sport, as if something horrible is about to happen. After our work, I lost that anxiety! I could still be afraid, or nervous, but it wasn't at all at the same level of the anxiety that I had before.
Being free of that made the sport I love more enjoyable, and the social interactions around it better as well! As the anxiety that I suffered from around that sport made my social interactions around it difficult too. I used to get angry and upset, and sometimes quarrel and get into friction with my sports peers.
When the levels of my anxiety and nervousness dropped, I was able to contain more which led to an improvement in my relationships with my sports mates.
Again, that was a bonus that I did not expect. I did not realize the bad effect that my anxiety had on my social interactions until it was relieved. Only then, I could feel the difference.
Another remarkable result of that work was that I became more balanced emotionally and less overwhelmed. It was very noticeable in my visit abroad that summer shortly after our work.
I used to get very emotional very quickly: overwhelmed with emotions and brought to tears quite often around my relationships with my friends there; the need to spend as much time with them as possible, and the imminent goodbye constantly in the background.
This time I felt much more balanced, less strong overwhelming emotions and much less tears :)
Recently, I came to Jeff again to work on another topic - loneliness.
After just one session, I experienced a surprising relieving change around goodbyes!
It was surprising because I never addressed that particular issue in therapy. I never even thought about it as an issue that needs addressing. I knew that I had a hard time around goodbyes, but I didn't realize that it could be experienced differently.
Before, I had a very painful heavy burden every time I would say goodbye to my loved ones. It would take me quite a while to recover each time.
After that session, I said goodbye to my family after spending a weekend together. I waited for that heavy painful burden to come, as I was used to it coming every time, but it never came! I was ok!
I drove home alone wondering and very much relieved that I just said goodbye to my family, I'm driving back home alone, and I'm fine!
That is such a heavy burden relieved off of me and such an improvement to my life quality to be without. That was amazing because I didn't even intentionally work with it or saw it as an issue!
It is a wonderful gift to be capable of experiencing goodbyes more easily and being able to carry on with my life without carrying that unbearable heavy burden around goodbyes.
I still have more issues to work with, obviously. Now I understand that I'm not even always aware of all of them and the effect that they have on my life.
I'm feeling very grateful for my process and progress and for the good changes that I have acheived so far and for the blessed relief that came with those changes.
So thank you so much
