My Path

My journey with palm reading began with my mother. During the Second World War, she fled to England, where she met a Gypsy woman who read her palm and predicted that she would die young. That dark prediction stayed with her for many years. My mother, who had lost her entire family in the Holocaust, carried within her a world of beliefs and fears. As a child, I remember how often she spoke to me about that palm reading. She would even refuse to let me walk around the house in socks, because, as she used to say, "only orphans walk around in socks."

When I was ten, I lost my father. Nine years later, I lost my mother as well. Both losses left a deep imprint on my life.

Even as a child, it was clear that I was different. Conventional ways of learning did not work for me. Reading music, rhythms and musical structures were not accessible to me in the way they were taught. But where the conventional path was closed, I began to create my own creative pathways.

I would sit at the piano and create my own arrangements for piano and voice. An arrangement would come into being in that particular moment, through hearing, feeling and inner knowing. I could not always repeat it in exactly the same way. It belonged to the moment in which it was created.

Only years later did I understand that these creative pathways were part of how the artist in me came into being. Where I could not rely on conventional structures, I learned to listen differently, to see differently, and to find words and knowledge from another place.

The piano was one of the first places where this inner knowing revealed itself to me. My body, my voice, my hearing and the instrument connected with something deeper within me. I did not always know how I knew; I simply knew. Today I understand that this, too, was a form of channeling.

The artist's path has remained with me. It is present in the piano, in the poetry I love and write, and also in the way I meet another person. For me, creativity opens a place of knowing, and sometimes something beyond what we know how to explain.

Later, I met a remarkable therapist who introduced me to the world of conscious dreaming and imagery. I discovered that I could close my eyes and see images and events that came to me as vivid and real experiences.

During those years, I began studying palm reading alongside my training as an alternative diagnostician and therapist working with learning difficulties. At first, I studied chirology in its conventional form: the lines, structures and characteristics through which aspects of a person can be read. But very quickly, I discovered that I was seeing beyond what I had been taught.

The palm became a gateway for me. When I hold a person's hand, my intuitive knowing begins to work. Images, feelings, messages and knowledge arise within me, and I do not always know where they come from. This is my way of channeling.

Over the years, I developed what I had learned in chirology into a path of my own, an intuitive and spiritual way of reading the palm that seeks to reach beyond personality and patterns: toward the soul, the inner core of a person, what they have brought with them into this world, and the places within them that are asking for change.

With time, I also came to understand that everything I had lived through and experienced was part of what made me the therapist I am today. The losses, the places where I was different, the creative pathways I had to find, the music, the poetry and the knowing that developed within me: all of these taught me to listen to what is not being said, and to meet a person in places where words do not yet exist.

When I hold a person's hand, I am not simply reading the lines. Through the palm, I connect with the person and with layers that are not immediately visible.

Sometimes I close my eyes and allow images, feelings and knowing to arise; at other times, they come through observation, touch and conversation. The palm is a means of connection for me, something through which deeper information begins to open.

The same intuition of the artist is present in the way I read a palm. I observe, touch, listen, and something begins to open. Sometimes images appear, sometimes feelings or words, and sometimes there is simply knowing.

For me, this is channeling. Channeling is, first and foremost, a form of knowing: the ability to know something without always knowing where that knowledge comes from. I see, feel and receive messages about the path a person has travelled, the strengths and patterns at work within them, and sometimes the gap between the life they are living and something deeper that their soul is asking for.

A session with me is not simply a palm reading. It is an encounter with what lies beneath the words and beneath the familiar story we tell about ourselves. I would like you to leave with a deeper knowing of yourself, to recognize something that may already have been within you, but has not yet found a voice, a form or a place in your life.
