🙂What drew me so much to the field of Chinese medicine for animals?

The truth is, the field found me.

From a very young age, I already had a connection with animals.

My mother tells that already from the age of one, when my mother

walked with me in the park and sat me on the grass, “cats would come and cuddle with me.”

I remember myself from about the age of seven, collecting injured animals from the street,

taking them home and treating them until they healed, and then releasing them back into nature (or to the city streets)

—because I wasn’t allowed, back then, to adopt animals.

I love animals, all kinds of animals (except for “the cockroach fear” that never left me),

and always, all I ever wanted to do was to be around animals,

to treat them and help them feel good.

Over the years, I understood that animals also brought me great comfort,

healing, and a sense of belonging during my wandering years

with my family throughout my childhood and adolescence between Israel, England, Belgium, and Turkey.

I always gave them healing and security, and they gave it back to me—

what was true then is still true today.

After the army, it was clear to me that I would take this love and turn it into a profession—my “sacred work.”

While studying in the preparatory program at the agricultural faculty, with the intention of studying veterinary medicine,

I realized that my perspective on the health of animals needed a different approach and education.

Which kind? I still didn’t know, because the field of treating animals through complementary medicine at that time

was still in its infancy—in Israel and in the world in general.

I took a step back from the faculty and began to search for options in the field of animal medicine.

What guided me in the search was the knowledge that this medicine must be

a medicine that aligns with my view of healing and health,

and at the same time be effective and efficient in order to succeed in treating, rehabilitating, and bringing true healing to animals.

So I encountered Chinese medicine, after deep searching.

And with the excitement came the disillusionment and the understanding that there was no track for Chinese medicine for animals—

not in Israel, and not in the world.

I understood that in order to treat animals with this medicine,

I had to study the track for treating humans,

and afterwards be accepted to conversion studies for animals abroad.

I studied Chinese medicine for humans in Israel (and I also fell in love with treating them),

then I flew to England to do the conversion for animals.

At the end of the conversion, I returned to Israel with three goals and visions:

✔To treat and rehabilitate animals 

✔To work hand in hand with veterinary medicine in order to create integrative and complete work for animals 

✔To advance the field of complementary medicine for animals in Israel and worldwide through action, training, and knowledge 

Thankfully, I achieved and am still fulfilling my three goals:

✔I treat animals daily 

✔From 2010 until 2017, the college trained future generations in Israel, today I train internationally.

✔I work closely with veterinarians and various professionals in the field of animals 

✔ I teach, develop, and create training programs, workshops, and lectures,

and continue to research and promote the field of complementary medicine for animals
