Pnina Zmora has amassed a wealth of knowledge in many different healing modalities throughout her 28-year spiritual journey.

Pnina started that journey in 1997 with her teacher Yafa Alfi in Tel Aviv,Israel, studying self-awareness and guided imagery.

In 2008, after a 550-hour training program, she became a Reiki Master and Spiritual Counselor under the teaching of Margaret Ann Case at the Open Center
NY. She continued her Reiki study with Pamela Miles and volunteered at the rape crisis center at St. Vincent Hospital for alternative holistic treatment.

In 2010, Pnina traveled to India, the first of many trips, where she started her path in Raja Yoga with Shiv Shankar Tripati.
She would later carry on her study, and practice with Shani Kedar Sabag in Israel, and continue to travel to India every year since.

In 2014 she completed Power by Opposites Yoga Therapy Level 1, instructed by Michael R. Gilbert in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Pnina found out in 2015 that she fractured two vertebrates in her spine and was told that sooner or later she will find herself in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

This strengthened her resolve in her spiritual journey, and in 2015 she became a certified Biogonomy Practitioner under the teaching of Noga Gazit in Tel Aviv, Israel.

She continued to expand her understanding and knowledge in vibrational healing modalities, and was certified as a Theta Healing Practitioner in the following courses:
Basic DNA (Miriam Agmon – Kefar Saba, Israel), Advanced DNA, Dig Deeper, Manifestation & Abundance, Intuitive Anatomy, Soulmate, Game of Life (Dawn Maree – Big Fork, Montana.

In 2016 she completed the following courses in Recall Healing with Gilbert Renanad, PHD:
Recall Healing Level 1, Recall Healing Level 2, & Behind the Shadow of Depression, Addiction, and OCD, in Tel Aviv, Israel.

In 2017 she completed her instructor Certification in Basic & Advanced DNA, Dig Deeper, Soulmate, and Manifestation & Abundance under the founder of
ThetaHealing, Vianna Stibal (Big Fork, Montana).

Pnina realized that her joy and fulfillment come from learning, which she continues to do to this day.

In 2022, Pnina completed 200 hours of Yoga Teacher certification with Anna Winkler & Donna Davidge at the Dharmakaya Center for Well Being.
