About me
In 1992, I was in a very horrible car accident, where my mother, father and first husband were all killed. I survived with some relatively minor physical injuries, but emotionally I was devastated and completely traumatized. Since then, I have been on a long healing journey, where I dealt with deep depression, panic attacks, agoraphobia, suicidal spells and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, without drugs of any kind, just natural approach and therapy.
After a decade of Jungian therapy and another decade of mentorship by a master in that field, I looked for and found solutions in various spiritual and wisdom traditions, different herbal and natural therapies, cognitive neuroscience, EFT, guided meditation and guided neuroplasticity.
During that journey, my husband and I created a music video game startup (Piano Wizard) that raised millions of dollars and closed huge licensing deals with Fisher Price, Mattel, Disney, US Music Corps and more, before being blindsided and crippled by the 2008 recession. So, in addition to the stresses of rapid growth, we later went through a 5 year struggle to survive in the desert of capital and markets following the recession. While ultimately unsuccessful, that struggle taught us priceless lessons and insights on keeping our sanity, and communication with team, investors, customers and family.
I am a "wounded healer" and teacher, your practical guide out of the sometimes crippling stress of running a startup.
