    Efrat Shokef, Ph.D., Shamanic Energy Healing Practitioner for Children, Teens, Parents, and Families. Author of The Promise We Made: Three Universal Soul Promises We Made to Our Children – Near Death Experience and the Parenting Teachings it Invites.

    Efrat Shokef guides parents to spiritually aware children, helping them understand their children, connect to their spiritual self, and say YES to the many invitations their children offer. Becoming the parents that their children’s soul chose.
    Efrat is a mother to three spiritually aware, intuitive teens, who constantly invite her to grow, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a cosmic journeyer, and a writer. She holds a Ph.D. in social-organizational psychology, is a Fulbright Alumni, homeschools her daughters, raises four loving dogs, and loves nature, reading, cooking, and crafts.
    Efrat’s journey took her from an academic path, through a car crash and a near-death experience, becoming absent as a mom, unable to care for her daughters. The reorganization of her physical, together with the integration of her near-death experience, invited her to say multiple yes’s to the universe, and to explore the essence of motherhood and our sacred soul relationship with our children.
