Transforming Our Being by Retracing the Path of Our Becoming
How do people become who they are?
A question we all ask when we meet someone disturbingly cruel or heroically resilient.. We want to know the roadmap, either to avoid it or to recreate it.
“Becoming” is the ultimate existential quest..
And it’s rather a complicated one. So many aspects go into human becoming: food, sun and environment, care, relationships and genes, politics, stories, cultures and generational memory.
This multilayered nature of humans has drawn philosophers and psychologists, anthropologists, neuroscientists, spiritual seekers, artists, and even children, to speculate on the mystery of becoming—each through their own way of knowing.
When we understand how someone become who they are, we are better able to support them in becoming who they long to be.”
this question has shaped my life’s work
From exploring the roots of criminal behavior through my background in forensic psychology, to navigating through trauma and displacement through working in the field with refugees and war survivors, to searching for ways to cultivate the optimal behavior in my own children as a mother and in my clients as a therapist under supervision.
I searched not only in clinical, but in evolutionary and developmental psychology, in neuroscience, philosophy and biology, in trauma and psychoanalysis, in myths, anthropology and the indigenous wisdom of our ancient cultures around the world to unravel the mystery of being and becoming.
In a research journey that took me ten years…
I found my answers — scattered across multiple sciences and philosophies.
Each insight was like a treasure I collected, studied, and wove together in a healing process that honors us as the ecosystems we truly are.
What I discovered is that wellbeing is not about fixing parts, but about restoring the balance to the whole.
And once we address the whole, the parts begin to heal themselves.
the SCIENCE behind the mabp™
This program is built at the intersection of evolutionary psychology, anthropology, and clinical psychology—integrated with the latest research in neuroscience, epigenetics, gut health, lifestyle medicine, and spirituality.
It builds the map you need to return to your environment of evolutionary adaptedness—to realign with the conditions your body and mind were designed for.
By addressing the deep mismatches between modern life and your ancestral blueprint, this work offers an evolutionary reset: one that restores balance across the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual layers of your becoming.
