About me | Nitzan

Hello!

Hi, I’m Nitzan. My name translates to "flower bud" in Hebrew, which feels fitting as I’ve always been drawn to nature and helping others grow. This innate desire eventually led me to my career as a therapist.

One memory that stands out is when I was about 10. My mom came home with severe back pain, and, wanting to help - I instinctively began massaging her. She smiled and said, “You have healing hands.” That moment made me realize the power of touch and care.

Today, as a physical therapist, massage therapist, and Pilates instructor, I combine movement, healing, and touch into a holistic approach. I also use aromatherapy, trusting nature’s ability to restore balance.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about nature, running, rock climbing, and yoga. Living in NYC with my beloved partner, I feel aligned with the path I’m on, both personally and professionally.

My Personal Story

My life experiences and desire to make a positive impact have led me to become a therapist.

I grew up in a small village near Tel Aviv with my wonderful parents and two brothers. At the age of 14, during a relocation to Germany, my mother was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer (metastases were throughout her every bone). Three years later, back in Israel, I was diagnosed with cancer as well.

My mother and I went through surgeries and chemotherapy together. After four years of fighting, my mother sadly passed away in 2011.
I continued treatments and eventually healed completely.

This profound experience inspired me to dedicate my life to improving others' quality of life and empowering individuals to have the best possible life.

After graduating high school with honors, I volunteered and served as an officer in the IDF's intelligence unit for nearly four years.

My fascination with the human body and a desire to understand its intricacies made physical therapy a natural career path for me.

Today, I’m pursuing my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree in NYC, and I’m proud to be a Pilates instructor and a licensed medical massage therapist. I’m also happily married to Urik, the love of my life since we were 18, and I’m healthier than ever

My Proffessional Journey

I began my Physical Therapy studies in 2018 at Tel Aviv University, where I quickly developed a deep passion for understanding the human body.

Eager to help others, I also pursued certifications in Pilates instruction, Medical Massage, and prenatal massage alongside my PT studies, and soon opened my own clinic in Tel Aviv.

I specialize in maternity and postpartum care, blending various techniques to provide personalized treatments.

Driven by my love for movement, I also focus on rehabilitation, helping patients improve posture, stability, and strength

Now, as I pursue my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree in NYC, I’m continuing to evolve my approach, combining touch, movement, and science to help others live better lives.

Empowering a Helathier Life

Don't we all want to have a good, healthy, and happy life?

But what are we actually doing to fulfill that wish?

In today’s fast-paced world, where many people move too little, eat too much, and interact with screens instead of each other, stress has become a constant. The pursuit of a higher quality of life is more important than ever.

As both a therapist and a human being, I believe that living a better life requires a holistic approach, one that addresses all aspects of our well-being.

Improving people’s quality of life is my mission. That’s why I’m here.

I’m here to help you recognize the importance of a balanced, integrative approach to life. I’m here to encourage you to take responsibility for your health and well-being, and to show you that real, meaningful change is possible.

Let’s take the first steps together.
