White Cedar Institute For Expanded Living

I have been working with Nomi for over five years. As someone who has been in therapy on and off since I was 7 years old, I am very particular about the therapists/​counselors that I work with. From our first session, I knew that Nomi was a very special guide and healer. Nomi is the most perceptive, insightful, encouraging and compassionate person I’ve ever met. She has the ability to very easily see someone. This is something that has made my journey with her so powerful. I never feel like she is just hearing my words but actually seeing who I am as a person and acknowledging my potential for growth and recovery. Furthermore, the Gates of Power method provides the client with so many unique and beautiful tools that help one understand the self and develop awareness about emotional patterns, relationships and more. A Gates of Power session may include writing, drawing, expressive movement or meditation. The creativity involved in a session really helps to peel away the external layers and delve into what lies deep within. The only way I can summarize my work with Nomi is: taking windex to the lens through which I look at myself.
Nomi has helped me to take responsibility for my actions, feel and process my emotions, make commitments that help me to get closer to where I want to be in life, and learn to love myself. I can’t recommend the Gates of Power method enough. I firmly believe it has the ability to help people establish their life’s purpose and transform confusion and grief into power and wisdom. One of the most beautiful things that Nomi has told me that has become a daily mantra for me is: «You are creating your reality.»

Nomi Bachar, founder of White Cedar Institute and author of Gates of Power has been an important part of my life and instrumental in healing myself.
Nomi is relentless, yet compassionate and loving. My journey is ongoing and my life is transforming with the unconditional love she brings. There is no other style of therapy that gets to the root of the real trauma and coaches you back with love and support that only the Gates of Power can provide.
We all have a purpose in this life, a gift, a cause, something to learn and something to give. With Gates of Power you too can find and live the life you were meant to have.

For as long as I could remember, I’ve been unable to be proud of myself and what I’ve accomplished. There’s been something in me that’s blocked me from happiness, from enjoying life.
Then I met Nomi. Through her I found that happiness is within myself, and that it was my own thinking that was blocking it.
Together we worked out the cobwebs and found my true potential. My favourite part of the process was that it was experiential. We spent just as much time moving and meditating as we did speaking. A far cry from most therapists who mostly talk at you.
If you’ve ever doubted yourself from achieving your goals, please give her a call. You will not be disappointed.
