Awake Soul Healing HeArts

"You are the soul that meets people at the gateway towards intense transformation. Those who are ready to let go of constraints, conditioning, and a false identity. You are the painted woman dancing bare foot on the spiraling songs of your ancestors. The one who frees the imprisoned - words trapped in the gut - pulled out into the wild unknown. The drum is the only structure that can catch you, caught in the ceremony of your own heart beat, you made a promise to stay here until every soul is free, so therefore you must be timeless. You are perched on the edge, catching the wounds of wanderers, eating that poison, you die every time, and then are reborn transforming darkness into beauty."

-Sage Sansone, Intuitive Guide/Musician/Artist, Asheville NC

“Your words, wishes, prayers, actions are powerful. I thank you for be-ing in this world and turning the sacred stones over so that we remember and we do what we hear and are guided to do. I find your words, invitations, experiences, culture all inspiring. May the many hearts you reach be touched and find the passion of their own hearts. You generate a strength for us to look within. You generate a strength. Thank you deer one. Blessings and Happy Heart!”

"I arrived in Miami with the after effects of a migraine that was so bad that I had to reschedule my connecting flight into Miami. I was operating at about 70% when I arrived to lead my conference session. Then I met Rivka. For whatever reason (divine intervention?), I started to tell her about my migraine. She asked if she could help. She touched some points on the back of my head. A few minutes later, I realized that the soreness had completely disappeared. Like, gone. Vamos! Whatever she does, it works. I'm sold."

-Lena West, CEO Xynomedia, New York NY

“I met Rivka Leah 3 years ago in Amritapuri, Kerala, India at the international headquarters of the fearless woman saint, Mata Amritanandamayi, also known as Holy Mother Amma, the hugging saint. This was in early 2011, and I was working on the second volume in our new series: Earth Ethics of M.K. Gandhi and Holy Mother Amma: Practical Applications, Vol.2, Discovering the Penance of Speech. The work demonstrates through an examination of different faiths, the universal guidelines that humanity has developed to use the gift of speech for its highest potentials, to be of benefit to ourselves and others. Rivka's natural friendliness and spontaneous human warmth, quickly brought her into our family circle.

Soon we were sharing ideas and thoughts so fast that our apartment doors were always open to one another. I found her deeply intellectually stimulating. Through our talks, Rivka Leah introduced us to the work of the Chofetz Chaim, which became the central focus of the book's chapter on Judaism. Her enthusiasm to share her Rabbinic studies, her efforts to put these noble ethics into practice in her own life, are all points that made meeting her and being with her a refreshing and fascinating experience. We have kept in touch, wanting to have her presence in our lives. She volunteered to edit the book, and her concentration and seflessness in this small project, along with her expert suggestions, just out of her own keen-ness to see a good thing going, was both touching and humbling.

Rivka Leah is a friend to all. Her mind is broad, she is a person, who, wherever she is, works for the good of all. At the same time, while celebrating others, she also celebrates her own faith by her way of being, and this I feel assists those around her to gain deep and positive insight into the riches of humanity.”

-Dr. P. Kamala Willey Diwan, Author/C.E.O. Wise Earth Publishers, Stockholm SWEDEN

"I first met Rivka when we both attended a Sikh festival in India a few years ago...I remember being struck by her spiritual depth, spirit which transcends the barriers of labels. She had and still has a natural ability to empathise and connect with people from other backgrounds. Alongside her knowledge of her own faith, she brings great knowledge of other faiths...In the 21st century, as the global village shrinks, Rivka brings a much needed feminine touch to the interfaith dialogue."

-B'lkaar Singh, Author Falling In Love with Love, London UK

“Rivka? I don't even know what to call her. To say healer would be a total understatement. What do you call a person who has spent her entire life in movement, physically as well as spiritually, seeking truth and balance wherever she goes? She is so young, yet carries the wisdom of the ages. Because she has never stopped, even for a moment, to grow and transform into a healthier being. So the healer part, that's just because she's exposed herself to so many facets of human consciousness that she can zero in on an issue and restore balanced energy within moments. I'm so in awe of her talents that I've recently appointed myself as a devoted student for life!”

-Talie Kramer, Detox Specialist, Tzfat ISRAEL

"You are one of the best teachers I have ever had. Your support has given me a foundation. You are genuine, kind, warm, & constantly there for others. You know when to step forward and when to go back. You inspire me to step out of my shell and learn & grow more. You invite me into new worlds.”

-L.P., Clinical Social Worker, Baltimore MD

“How much I love you! You sometimes woke me up & sometimes made me laugh. And sometimes reminded me somehow of a deep secret & sometimes just made me feel crazy & wild! You are a special, beautiful soul. So sensitive, but with a strength coming from so deep inside.”

-Taegan, Musician, Sydney AUSTRALIA

"It has been a privilege and honor to have met you. I really respect your strength, determination, and inquisitiveness in your quest for Truth. It amazes me how fast you grasp things. I appreciate your adventurous, giving, assertive nature. Always learning, growing, asking, & becoming better."

-Etyl, Homemaker, Jerusalem ISRAEL

"I have known Rivka for over 12 years as a co-worker, client, and partner in spiritual evolution. Because I have known Rivka in so many contexts, I feel especially qualified to speak of her admirable qualities and character. I have experienced her professional skills firsthand, as well as observed her work with other clients. She impresses me with her compassion, responsibility, focused energy, and ability to intuit the individual needs of a client. Rivka is a respectful, creative, humorous soul. I have enjoyed seeing her apply her strategic intellect to such diverse pursuits as public presentation, original product creation, and humanitarian non-profit management. Rivka is always exploring new ideas and activities. Her natural curiosity and intelligence lead her to live life as an educational experience. She has the motivation and discipline to study things on her own, and apply what she has learned in positive and innovative ways; sharing that knowledge unselfishly with others. She is equally dedicated to being both student and teacher. Spiritual education and growth is a lifetime pursuit for me. Rivka has been a highly supportive partner in this process, carrying on her studies (academic and experiential) with integrity and dedication. Rivka is an absolutely fearless seeker of truth and understanding. I have loved sharing her strong spirit. I have no doubt that whatever she attempts she will achieve, and that she will be a welcome asset wherever she is.”

-Naomi Abrams, Medical Assistant/LMT, Rohnert Park, CA

"Rivka and I have known each other 10 years, (having met) as fellow Divinity students. During this time I have found her to be quite level headed, and unfalteringly fair & open-minded; giving each person and their point of view a chance. She is empathetic, sensitive, & masterfully artful at putting herself in another's shoes. She genuinely cares about everyone, and is capable of sympathizing with their feelings and human purpose no matter how low they have sunk. She is always looking to help, but gently firm at setting appropriate boundaries. She is constantly exploring new experiences and evolving into a wiser and more compassionate person from them. She has vast experience and deep cultural fluidity. She is capable of moving the world towards peace because she genuinely appreciates each person's perspective and contributions. She also has the creative skills necessary to facilitate effective communication and understanding.”

-Esterina Seto, Recording Artist, Brooklyn, NY

“With a number of medical needs and personal frustrations accumulating through the years I’ve know her, Rivka has been there to guide me through thick and thin. Previous issues include flexor-tendon repair, daily nutrition, dealings of ADHD, neurologic health, relationship coaching, and spiritual awareness all found hope with her assistance. With Rivka’s knowledge of alternative medicine and general understanding of the holistic approach of healing, she’s helped me find solutions uncommonly known in the conventional world. Her ability to help has never been limited to any field of health, it extends to all spectrums of existence and total health supporting the mind, body, and soul.

Rivka is also an excellent communicator and guidance counselor. She has guided me through many years with constructive advising and reliable responses to my needs. Rivka has also trained me in improving my regular approach to life, and supported me in solidifying my basic needs to live healthier... Rivka is also a profound soul and deeply spiritual being. Her self-awareness far exceeds the average person. Her work in activism has always sought deserved justice not only for her, but for the right of those with a smaller voice. Knowing many people around the globe, Rivka is most likely the most realistic and well rounded character I know. I would not question her natural insights, capability to heal, and competent talents.”

-S.G., Communications, Brooklyn NY

"I have known Rivka for four years and in that time I have known her to be a very loving, caring, and authentic human being. She has a very down to earth, open, and comfortable way about her. Rivka allows listening and sharing in ways that are gentle, graceful, and sensitive. She has the open mind and willingness to learn and co-operate, thus continually allowing herself to grow and empower herself. Her gift of listening gives her the sensitivity required for real understanding and in discerning the needs of people which some may not see. Her passion for the welfare and well being of humans is apparent and inspiring. The role of a multi-faith ambassador is very much conducive to the talents and gifts...she will grow into a well respected and trusted leader in this field. Having come from a corporate background that lead into the wellness industry, it is clear to me that Rivka has the ability to interact with a wide range of personalities and people with ease."

-Hazeena Azeez, CEO Embbody, London UK

"I first met Rivka over 25 years ago... She has gone through quite a few amazing transformations since then, yet she retains a characteristic passion and intensity that has long made her stand out from any crowd. Her self-sculpted path of learning and discovery has taken her down more than a few untraveled roads. She has chosen to drop herself into quite a few extreme situations, including many in some highly unstable parts of the world, all for the purpose of gaining in-depth experience. As a result she has emerged an extremely knowledgeable woman with a wide range of skills and a stellar reputation among many in her highly diverse social network... Rivka's life mission is that of a social change catalyst. Bring her on board, then watch, learn, and be amazed!"

- Dr. Michael Van Patrick Lemons, Lecturer Hawaii Community College, Hilo HI

"It is very much a pleasure and an honor to have this opportunity and blessing to share my words and thoughts about Rivka...She is a compassionate, caring, strong, and independent woman who values community, life, and people. She is a kind and goal oriented person with the ability to work well under pressure. She is very aware of the challenges and problems that face the world today, and she is a being who transcends in her views, and understanding, and is active in realizing her visions and goals. Rivka is spiritually astute, connected, and inspired. She is a gifted person who makes great connections, and has fruitful interactions, and strives to include others in her positive relationships, and understanding. I am very grateful for all her kindness to me, and I believe she will be extremely successful in all that she puts her mind and heart. I support her in her commitments."

-Arabella M. Bangura, Rabbi's Assistant Congregation Beth Israel, Berkeley CA

“I have known Rivka for 9 years, in a variety of different locations and contexts. she is someone whom I have come to know as a person of moral character, intelligence, and many talents. I also know her to be a person both concerned and passionate about society, and the issues that we face in the present world. My earliest memory of Rivka is giving charity to a man in a wheelchair in Jerusalem, and wanting to offer her home as a place for him to have shelter for the night. I also know her professionally as a healer, specifically, as a massage therapist. Rivka brings a high level of professionalism to her role as healer. She also is a well spring of beneficial information regarding issues related to health and healing. She draws on a wide range of experience in providing health care to her clients.”

-Professor Robert Bonem, Coach, Berkeley CA

“I've known Rivka Leah Jade since 1992 and can personally attest to the goodwill and honest effort that flow forth from her. This is someone who literally does not have a mean bone in her body! Over the years, she has refined her sense of peace, justice, and social harmony to include ever higher levels of work, both personally and professionally. She has dedicated her time to causes many of us believe in, but often do not have time for, and seems to experience a genuine thrill and excitement at networking, global causes, and group work. As an ambassador for peace, change, and achieving any kind of balance, she is a natural, because she combines an active interest in listening with a fierce sense of ethics and doing the right thing. Her strong commitment impresses and inspires me.”

-Ian Schleifer, Physician Assistant, Brooklyn NY

"If there were a Girl Scouts of Faith and Social Justice, Rivka would have all the badges. I met Rivka in 1998 in Sarasota, FL where we were introduced through the soup kitchen she started. She has served as a mentor and example to me, being a few years my senior and more educated on matters of local & global politics, and sustainability. In 2000 we took a trip to Washington DC together where I was in awe of the ease and versatility she possessed, navigating between demonstrators at the protests, government officials, and members of the media; all the while, community building. I also witnessed her deep compassion and good instincts for conflict resolution in caring for a man in a mental health emergency. She secured him an outcome that would not only keep him safe, but keep family relationships and friendships intact.

From the day we met, she has always inspired me to look deeper within myself and honor the Light within; and reach higher and further outside myself as she set an example of selfless world citizenship. I have often sought council from her on matters of conscience. I am a lifelong Quaker; so while we do not share the same religion, we share values and ideals. I know when I come to her with something on my heart, I will receive not just advice but sacrament. We have in common a deep concern for social and environmental justice, living simply, peace, and a commitment to non-violent conflict resolution; and most importantly, a desire to express belief in God not just by what we say but by how we live.

I am most impressed by the combination of depth and breadth of her commitment. She has ambitiously explored multiple avenues of education to make herself an agent of compassion, healing, and reconciliation; with diligence and humility. She has made the world her university, and searched far and wide for the knowledge and skills necessary to become the best possible educator, healer, and facilitator; with the least of her concerns being her compensation.

Her priority has always been to feed her soul before her body. The question her life asks is never, what can I get? It is always, how can I help or what can I learn? Her mission is to find the hungry and feed them, to find the sick and heal them, to find the conflict and help resolve it, to find the question and help answer it. I have never met a person who has been more committed to serving God every day through service to her fellows. I have never had to ask Rivka what she believes because her integrity speaks for itself."
