GUEST BIO
Devori Nussbaum is a psychotherapist, educator, and retreat leader whose work bridges deep Torah wisdom—especially Tanya—with modern psychology, somatic healing, and nervous system regulation. With training across multiple disciplines (including psychotherapy, nutrition, and holistic healing modalities), Devori is known for translating big spiritual concepts into practical, repeatable tools—how to move from control into connection, how to regulate the body so the mind can lead, and how to live with more wholeness in the middle of real life. She’s the author of To Live With an Open Heart (five years in the making), and the creator of the Spice of Life Retreats—named in honor of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka—where women experience what Devori teaches: embodied trust, emotional coherence, and a return to joy that feels both grounded and attainable.
