Bridie moved to Israel with her family in 2004, before going back to England for high school. 

In 2014 Bridie came back as an adult, met her now-husband, started a business and a family. 

Transferring skills from a sales and marketing job in the UK, Bridie setup as a freelance Social Media Manager before quickly realizing that small business owners needed much more strategic planning, than social media management. 

With over a decade in social media and marketing experience, Bridie is now building a course that makes her advice much more accessible to the average small business owner.

Ilana made Aliyah from Canada in 2008, after finishing hrer university studies. She always had a strong connection with Israel, and her Savta was born and raised here. (She moved to Canada after marrying her Saba). Her parents raised me with strong Jewish & Zionistic values, and my family regularly visited Israel.

After completing her training in Journalism, she went home to Canada to pack her bags, and made Aliyah shortly after. Ilana worked in the journalism field for a bit, but then decided to transition into high-tech, in a marketing & PR role.

It was during this time, that I was experiencing some health challenges, and started to explore nutrition as a path to better health. In 2018, coming off of my second maternity leave, I decided to do a complete 180-turn in my career and obtained my certification as a Culinary Nutrition Expert (2018).

Ilana offers a foods-based approach to wellness. My focal area is on helping women figure out which foods can best support their health, at various points throughout the female life cycle. Her goal is to make healthy eating as easy and simple as possible.

Here are the services she is offering at this time: 

·         1-on-1 personal nutrition session – to address a particular health goal or health concern

·         1-on-1 cooking lesson – we’ll make 2 recipes together while discussing the nutritional benefits of all the ingredients.

·         Family cooking workshops – participants get the ingredient list in advance and then I’ll host a live, small group class where we make 4 recipes together.

·         Meal prep – I’ll be offering a weekly meal plan subscription – to help reduce the stress around meal prep, keep families healthy, and help people stay focused during their grocery shopping & save money

·         Postpartum nutrition – I’m working on creating a webinar-style postpartum nutrition session. This will help women who are currently pregnant or recently gave birth understand how to best prepare for nourishing themselves in the 4th trimester and into the first year postpartum.

Pearl grew up in London and when she got married she moved to Manchester where she brought up her family.  Pearl worked in finance for a while but always wanted to work with wellbeing and the helping professions.   It was around the time approximately 12 years ago when she was studying  psychotherapy that she found  EFT Tapping Therapy or rather EFT Tapping Therapy found her !!  She knew then that was for her and so she made it her business to be the best Practitioner she could be.  

Pearl also worked for nine years Camp Simcha UK which is an organisation that supports families with children with life threatening conditions.  She was the Manchester case worker and offered emotional and practical support to the parents.  

Pearl made aliya with her husband  to Jerusalem in February 2017 and as she had been working so many hours in UK, she didn't quite take in the fact that she had left her comfortable and familiar life in Manchester and was embarking on something so new.  

In her mind she was going to seamlessly continue working and continuing my lifestyle.   

But she am not a person who dives into the unknown and thats what it felt like !!   Pearl walked into Ben Gurion airport and then it hit her and only then what had she done!!!  She was in the deep blue sea and she cant swim.  She actually found it quite hard at the beginning.

What was most familiar to her tho was her work, so that's where she put her energy.  Pearl saw clients privately, ran different tapping groups - for people who made aliya and found it stressful, for people wanting to lose weight, for people who wanted money and abundance.  She works online and in person. and then she found people wanted to be trained in these techniques so she became an accredited trainer just over a year ago so that she can train  others to work professionally. 

Pearl is a workaholic but always has time for her family and in her spare time you can find  her playing cards and games with my grandchildren.

Meet Amy, aka @theasianisraeli. 5 years ago, this native Californian decided to become Israeli. Looking back on her life, no one would have guessed it. Coming from a mixed family, she had very limited exposure to Judiasm or the Jewish community. It wasn't until her second year in college that she truly started to explore her Jewish identity. And with the help of an Israeli shaliach, she discovered the love of her life, Israel. It was then that her life path began to point towards the Middle East. She started the Israel Advocacy group on her campus, became the President of her Hillel, and decided she wanted to work in Jewish non-profits. Upon making Aliyah she went to Ulpan Etzion in Jerusalem, quickly launching her career in marketing for Jewish nonprofits. Although she loved the spirituality and and meaning of Jerusalem, after 3.5 years she could no longer ignore the calling of the sea. She moved to Tel Aviv where she began working in hitech as a content manager.

As most love stories, Amy & Israel have a complicated relationship. You see, being both a paternal Jew, and and Asian-American in Israel, on top of being a lone-olah, comes with many challenges. Being a blogger from age 16 and an avid social media user, Amy decided to share it all by launching her Instagram account, @theasianisraeli. From Sabich wars to election breakdowns, check out her Instagram account for olim struggles, mixed-girl perspectives, and at minumum, a good laugh. Bonus: she has a cute puppy named Mindy.

Michal Berman made alliyah from NY after finishing college, 8 years ago. She came to join the army as a lone soldier through garin tzabar, a program that lets you live with other lone soldiers. This was one of the most challenging and incredible decisions I made.
    Following my two years service as a shooting instructor, Michal started her graduate program in art therapy in a means to help soldiers through art therapy. It was important for me to offer other types of therapies for people who might have a difficult time opening up.
    After graduating she moved to Tel Aviv and joined forces with Natasha Miller Gutman and opened up a new location of Tel Aviv Art Studio. A studio that offers art classes for adults, children and teens, paint nights, birthday parties, figure drawing and art therapy.  Michal is proud to not only be a business owner, and doing something she loves but following her dreams and offering art therapy to soldiers.

    This process has been so hard and incredible. It shaped who she is and just makes her what to connect with others and show them that they can do anything.

There are moments that occur in life that can change everything that follows. For a mother to hear that something is developmentally different about the children; that is one of those moments. Deborah French lived through this moment twice by the time she was 26 years old. During the birth of her second child, she discovered that her baby was born with Down’s syndrome. And then when her first child hit two years old, she was told he was on the autistic spectrum. Raising one child with special needs is a task fraught with challenge and takes a special parent.

After making Aliyah in 2007 with her family, now a mother of five children, Deborah and her husband established the Mazal L’Chayim program in schools in the Sharon region. It’s target to educate mainstream children about children with special needs; breaking down social barriers that exist, paving the way for acceptance and ultimately inclusion.

As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and published author by profession, Deborah incorporates the powerful tools of CBT into her now Nationally Award winning program to bring about meaningful change in perspective and a chance for introspection for every pupil she has taught. Deborah has educated over 1300 students, since opening in 2013.

Helena made Aaliyah in January 2019 from London and went straight to Ulpan Etzion in Jerusalem. She moved to Tel Aviv in June and continued my freelance content writing business, but found that there simply weren’t many fixed networking events that offered her a space to grow my business and network with likeminded individuals.

Which is why English Speaking Networking was formed – to offer a space for business owners and professionals looking to learn, grow and develop through regular networking. With her launch only in September we have close to ten members in Tel Aviv and will be opening a branch in Ramat Beit Shemesh in January.

Before Lisa and her family made Aliyah, Lisa was working as a registered nurse in New York.  She had started in adult organ transplant at Mt Sinai Hospital, and then moved to school nursing at SAR High School.  It was there that she fell in love with teaching.  

When they made Aliyah is 2008, it was difficult for her to leave by job behind.  When she arrived in Israel, she was informed that just weeks earlier the country had cancelled their high school nursing program.  So she worked odd jobs while settling in my family.  

Meanwhile, when Lisa was pregnant with my third child, she developed terrible lower back and pelvic pain.  Even after the baby was born (her first Sabra!), the discomfort did not go away. It seemed as though everything in her body had shifted. Her scoliosis became more pronounced, her hips misaligned, her pelvic floor shot, and her superficial abdominal muscles had split wide open and wouldn’t close back in. 

Nothing felt right. All of a sudden, she was weak and fragile. Her back would go out at the slightest misstep. 

To this day Lisa  can’t remember exactly who led her to Pilates. She think's it was a doctor. Or an acupuncturist? A friend? It’s all a blur. But she has been practicing consistently for more than 10 years. Pilates has completely mended her. 

It became clear to me that she needed to train to teach Pilates.  At first, it seemed like a detour from my nursing background- one that she was overly apologetic for. But the more she learned about Pilates, the more she realized that her nursing training and Pilates training went hand in hand.  In fact, most of the private clients who she works with now had suffered from some kind of injury or medical condition and they feel at ease knowing that she can read their x-rays or understand their underlying conditions.  

It has all come together in ways that she could never have anticipated.  She opened her studio 5 ½ years ago and just this year Lisa launched my online Pilates Program. She is learning every day and she is just so grateful for all of it.

Danni Franks was born in Edgware and went to JFS.  She fell in love with Israel during her 5 month trip to Givat Washington in 1987.   When she landed at Ben Gurion for the first time in my life age 13, she burst into tears, kissed the ground and felt like she'd come home.   That feeling never left her. After Uni she worked in Marketing at Sky TV and Disney.  
Danni quit Disney to move to Israel and 5 months after she made aliyah she had the seed of the idea for Myisrael planted.  It came from a conversation with the founder of Crossroads- one of Myisrael's adopted causes - that she still supports today.  It took her two years to formulate the idea of Myisrael, a year to get it up and running and it was launched in March 2008.
