Spiritual Companionship
Are you looking for a way to go deeper and listen to your soul with the gentle support and guidance of a person trained to help you find your own answers?
As a spiritual companion, it is my goal to hold sacred space in non-judgment and genuine curiosity, and to ask the appropriate open and non-leading questions to support and guide you in your own unique spiritual journey.
The core belief of spiritual companionship is that we are all whole and do not need to be fixed. We simply need to feel held in Divine love in order to grow into our wholeness.
Spiritual Companionship is not limited to one faith tradition, but rather is open to using all paths to the Divine — including art, music, *dreamwork, inner child work, nature, somatic/body work, movement, meditation and other spiritual practices from all faith traditions — as a source of healing and self-discovery. This approach also emphasizes my role as companion not director. You are the one leading the way. The companion is there to hold space, offer support, reflect and inquire, and only offer guidance when it is clear that is what you are seeking and that the advice is being offered without attachment and in your best interest.
A rabbi, spiritual journey memoirist, interfaith minister, inter-spiritual companion with training in dreamwork, inner child work, nature work, couple work, trauma integration (collective and individual), years of experience in water immersion rituals and access to a mikveh (ritual bath), I am in a unique position to offer the following services (all of which can be done online except the water immersion rituals):

What clients have to say
My partner and I wanted to work through some of the more challenging aspects of our relationship before our upcoming wedding, and turned to Haviva to help facilitate our pre-marital counseling. These meetings helped us move forward from the tough conversations and stalemates to a more productive, collaborative place. More than anything, Haviva's mirroring provided a different set of eyes through which we saw each other, and our relationship, anew. This was truly a blessing.
When I immersed in the mikveh after a session with Haviva, I was filled with complete amazement and joy to see that my soul had survived untouched and could not be touched after all I have been through. I’ve been given an incredible gift — to discover that my glowing soul will always be available to me. The mikveh works on such a deep unconscious level. You enter and trust in the immersion experience and another realm of existence, beneath normal consciousness. I had no idea it would feel so profound.
The best part about working with Haviva has been her ability to meet me where I am, no matter where that is. I've come to sessions with questions about religious law and spiritual practice, about G!d, about my relationship with time and space, and even with wild dreams. No matter how I show up, Haviva is present and ready for the journey with me. Her work with dreams has been a particularly special addition to my spiritual direction. Working with Haviva has transformed my spiritual life.
Working with Haviva has been an invaluable growth experience for me. The quality of listening and care she gave allowed me the safe space to travel deep into my psycho-spiritual universe, and to uncover connections and influences that have helped me develop a deeper sense of my spiritual self. During a year of major transitions and life changes, Haviva's spiritual guidance has made what could have just been hard into some of the most growth-full times of my life.
