Chava Shmilovitch is a guide, teacher and author who helps women connect to the strength hidden within their neshama, so they can live with an open heart and genuine joy. Her vision is simple and wide: to bring inner redemption to every heart.

A Search That Began Early

Chava was born in Jerusalem in the month of Kislev. Her parents recall a curious, bright little girl who was reading by the age of one and a half. As a teenager in an advanced math and science track, she was already asking deep questions about the meaning and purpose of life. That search led her to Torah and to a life of mitzvos, and to her studies at Neve Yerushalayim.

At eighteen, she named her dream: “to heal hearts.”

Rooted in the Inner Wisdom of Torah

For more than twenty-five years, Chava studied and explored many of the approaches to emotional healing in use today. She reached a clear conclusion: the deepest and most lasting healing for a Jewish soul is rooted in the inner sources of the Torah. Drawing on the Ramchal, Nefesh HaChaim, Rav Shimshon Pincus, the Baal Shem Tov, Likutei Moharan, the Rambam and many others, she developed her own method, known as Soul Therapy, along with a wide range of guided processes for life’s hardest moments: loss, anger, hurt in relationships, fear and despair.

Chava sees every challenge as a precise message from Hashem. The more we listen to that message and allow ourselves to grow from it, the more our suffering can ease.

Teacher, Author and Guide

Chava founded an academy for Torah-based emotional growth and leads year-long courses for women in Israel and around the world, online and in person. She has written more than ten books, including works on tefillah, on Shavuos and a woman’s connection to Torah, and on mindful eating, and she has lectured widely in Jewish media. Alongside her courses, she has guided women and couples individually for many years.
