“They did whatever it took to survive.”

I was born in Buenos Aires of parents born in the Austrio-Hungarian Empire.

They were forced to flee Prague just before the invasion of the Nazis and landed in Argentina. But first, they hid in the jungles of Bolivia with other refugees waiting to see how the war would pan out before deciding where to go next.

My Dad used to tell me stories of their adventures. He kept a journal which I recently donated to the Wiener Holocaust Library.

I arrived in England in 1965 aged 20 – a very insecure young woman. My upbringing hadn’t exactly equipped me with the confidence and skills needed to build an entirely new life in a foreign country.

Over time I began to find out what damages, even destroys, relationships and what it takes to develop relationships that are strong, loving and fulfilling.

In 2005 at the ripe old age of 60, I left my marriage. The pain of staying had become worse than the fear of the unknown.

I am so grateful that from the ashes of one relationship, I have risen into the best relationship I could have ever imagined -

As a result, I have discovered my life’s purpose, which is:

To enable people to build long, loving and lasting relationships.
