Zoe Merkazy Osteopathy

Zoe Merkazy Osteopathy Treating Women, Women during Pregnancy, Children and Babies in Kfar Saba. Zoe specialises in treating the individual not just the symptom.

So life gets in the way of most things, but pain or discomfort can get in the way of life.... With nearly 20 years of experience in the therapy world, Zoe uses her expertise to diagnose and treat you using various forms of techniques. She has a special interest in Cranial Osteopathy but loves to be able to treat all types of people that walk through her clinic door, with different conditions. Osteopathy treats the root cause of the problem, tackling acute and chronic conditions by using a combination of gentle hands-on techniques that move, stretch and manipulate the body, to aid/restore the body to its optimal level of function. It also takes into account a person's lifestyle, and what may be having an influence outside, that can compromise an individual internally, therefore preventing/ delaying them from returning to good health. By allowing the body to heal naturally and within a pain-free range of movement, you can get back to living life the way you want to!

I walked, I worked, I laughed, I cried.
And for a moment I thought I had imagined the journey into the forest and all the magic it revealed, but then when I unravelled my laundry from my trip, the forest had left me a reminder to make sure I knew I hadn't been dreaming.
Back to this land of madness that I love to call home, and back to my family, friends and clinic with a fresh head and eyes, and open heart.
Thank you Mother Nature, your lessons are always invited and always surprise me.....

Did I mention I really love my work?
Always a pleasure having all my patients in my clinic, but especially this beautiful little creature.
The first time was challenging, too many exciting things to look at and play with, but slowly slowly we managed to connect, for her to allow me to place my hands on her.
Kids with neurodiversities bring their own special love, tricks and challenges, and it took time, but eventually we got there.
And today was a treat for me, to be able to connect further, to treat deeper, and she has made so so SO! much progress....
Lots of love to you little lady, keep being who you be best ❤️🌈

I've been a bit absent from social media for a while. Overwhelmed by the state of war around me, and fatigued by what I see on social media. Enough is enough, and I had enough going on in my life to keep me distracted in an unhealthy way.

I'm starting a new chapter in my life, and needing time to process how I got here - sit firmly in the depth of it all, and eventually get to the point where I stand up a little taller in my heart and my soul.

Along this journey, I spoke with a very wise soul who told me to just pause, not try so hard, just wait and all will start to come to you in the way it is supposed to be. Life is not meant to be understood, it is meant to be felt, so just feel it instead of trying to fix it, just flow.

So I'm embracing my new position in life now. Learning a different dance, learning a different communication, learning a different bond. And with all the laughter, challenges, lessons and tears, I'm growing, and it's beautiful.

A delicate balance between the me I once was, to the me I am today. Never to forget, ignore, or resent my past and those characters in my story, but always to thank, as its through them that I am where I am today.

And most importantly, now taking a step forward into the unknown, not to fear what lies ahead, ever.

A cicada landed on my hand today, and I was caught by it's bravery to just decide to stay, and struck by it's beauty. It is such a delicate creature
It's wings, looking like a circuit board of golden mystery and it's noise - tremendous.

Loud and Proud baby

It holds a lot of symbolism - transformation, rebirth, and resilience due to its unique life cycle. It symbolizes shedding the old to embrace the new, both physically and metaphorically. Which is quite apt for where I am now.

I'm embracing all that I discover,
And with each step I take, somehow the situations and people I encounter are so wondrous, so meant to be, it amazes me. Fills me with light. I have the opportunity to have a choice in how I receive it all, so I remind myself to stay present, receive the love I am given, and keep taking those beautiful steps along the journey of life.

I forgot but now remember

I've learnt some Hebrew words in the last 2 weeks that I wish I didn't have to know:
חוטפים kidnappees
טֶבַח massacre
לַעֲנוֹת torture
הִסתַנְנוּת infiltration
אשמה blame
Hard words that no-one should have to add to their daily vocabulary, but I hear these words not just from the news, but also from my patients, who have lost loved ones, and those who still don't know the fate of theirs, and then those that are scared, angry, in shutdown, in confusion, grieving.
I stay grounded.
I stay centred.
I give love to each and every one of them, knowing maybe a little time in my clinic will give them some respite from the days before and the days still to come.
I wear bright colours whilst most people around me wear black.
I give hugs where they are accepted and happily accept them back.
I put my hands on my patients' chests, and they cry freely, because they have a safe space to do it.
I remind myself of love, and to love myself and others, no matter if a stranger or a friend.
I take deep meaningful breaths when I need to.
Its a strange sensation - love and fear together - but I breath into it and release the tension when and where I can, and when I cant, I give that emotion the space to be, to respect the emotion rather than ignore it or fight its presence.
But I'm a bit tired, mainly of the international stupidity that I see unfolding in protests around the world and partly also very much of the unknown in the days and the weeks to come.
So i'm giving some of my time to a voluntary set up for those beautiful kids that survived the SuperNova Festival,
all they wanted to do was dance and love,
instead they were bombarded with bullets and grenades like, well I dont know what like, its just monstrous to even try and compare it to something we know of right?.............can you compare it with anything that you know of??? I really hope you cant.

doing this work for them feels good - to be part of a healing circle of manual therapists and trauma therapists, the work we and they are doing is beautiful, the main goal being to give these kids a bit of life back before the long therapy road ahead, and this gives me some hope, and hope can spread a long way if you try.
And the hope isn't just there.
This beautiful nation stepped up within 24 hours of this ONGOING atrocity to care for and support the thousands of people terrified, traumatised and grieving.
No help from the government.
Just people like you and me that know what is the right thing to do for their terrified neighbour and child.
I wish it wasn't needed, but I'm happy we put it in place to exist.
I just wish it was not a necessity.

So to anyone waving a random flag against Israel on your weekend,
I pity you,
I really do.
Not to even condone this massacre before you protest is painful, and pathetic.
May you never have to experience what we are experiencing right now.
Maybe read a history book, get a bit more up to date on politics in the Middle East (all countries in uproar against the apparent inhumane treatment by Israel - seriously???? - are renowned for their inhumane treatment of their own citizens!!)
then re-read/watch what happened on 7.10.23 and you'll know these aren't freedom fighters, they don't give a sh*t about Gazan people - they are just monsters, pure evil.
I dare you to see what we have unfortunately all seen on social media.
I dare you to watch, and stay watching and keep your "balanced opinion" whilst you see people being randomly executed in their homes
watch terrified kids hiding from rampaging terrrorists in dumpsters surrounded by dead bodies of their friends

Then I dare you to talk to survivors today and hear their fear still acutely painfully present.
I dare you to speak out against what is happening here.
I dare you to stand up for the right thing, instead of sitting on your sofa all comfy in England and Europe.

This is a part of the history of this country that should never have to be written but it is etched on our minds and souls now forever.
And you should care about this new history too

IT AFFECTS ALL OF US.
You are a fool if you think it doesn't

While I can, I'm trying to be part of the good fight and support those that need us right now, its not much but its the best I can do.

Take a breathe
Give some love
Embrace those you love
Do the right thing

Tov, my clinic is closed for a while, those close by I hope you understand why, I really hope you do.
I will be giving some voluntary treatments to displaced families and survivors from the south for a little while, they need support and energy, and you are just as important but their situation is acute and complicated so if its okay I want to channel the energy I have for them, and then hopefully, when its a bit safer I will be able to receive patients in my clinic again,

I promise it will be soon, so be patient please dear patients, I will return to give you the care you need.

In the meantime, I have shared this poem with some friends in need, and I'm sharing it here now as it gives me hope and light in my heart. So if you are feeling darkness, loneliness, difficulty with the news circulating look at this poem and let it pull you back to your light, and send it to those that need.

Only love, and quiet days and nights for us all.

now THAT was a trip! Had such a truly amazing time in Spain, ate well, slept kinda well considering for a caravan but woke up to beautiful mountains and went to sleep with stunning sun-sets, and even had time to treat a paraglider in their caravan, who had a major fall whilst gliding! I'm kinda sad to say goodbye, but i'm needed back in clinic now, so I've returned refreshed and energised albeit my Spanish is no better lols.

For anything osteopathic feel free to get in touch and see how I can help you. Until we meet, enjoy the rest of your summer ###

Hello Barcelona 💜💗💜

Hello little one.

We have met before, whilst you were growing and becoming a story in your mother's eyes.

You were born on a Monday, I treated your mother every other Monday for most of her pregnancy, so it seemed only right for you to also be born that day.

I supported your mother with treatment as you grew, and supported you as your mother's body changed for you.

I supported your mother with treatment to prepare her for birth, and keep her mind and body centred for all that would come, and the birth was as it should be.....easy and gentle and natural.

I'm so happy for you and your beautiful mother, and feel privileged and trusted that I was able to be a part of that process, to be an observer of the future dyad forming.

Now you are here, look out for your mother whilst she looks after you, and you'll visit soon and be in my hands for a little supportive treatment to move forward in life.
And obviously I will look after your mother too as she transitions from pregnancy to post-partum.

I can't wait to see you.

Mazel tov Mumma, you did superbly! 💜

Feeling quite emotional today.
I've done many courses in my life, but this is the one that will stand out for me forever and brings together everything I have learnt in previous years.

I'm in London to receive my Post-Graduate Diploma in Women's health in Osteopathy, with the wonderful, gentle, patient, funny, kind, compassionate, insanely amazing osteopath Renzo Molinari ♥️💫

So today I'm officially a DWHO!

Its been a crazy 2 plus years. Many many flights, many many many terrible hotels lols and many crazy London conversations.

But really only good memories, only good journeys, only good learnings.

2 years of opening the mind further in all sorts of wondrous ways, deepening my osteopathic understanding, deepening connection to self, to women's health and to solidify and continue everything I started 10 years ago as a fresh osteo. I've made new friends that I hope stay with me for life, even though there's a sea or two between us 🥰
I've made new realisations about the way I work, and will continue to passionately work in this specialist field.

There aren't many women's health pelvic floor osteopaths in Israel (unless you are also a pelvic floor physio and well, I don't want to be a physio in order to justify the work I do as an osteopath), but I hope by bringing this qualification home with me I can spread the knowledge and give confidence to the newer osteopaths that want to get into this field of pelvic floor Osteopathy, and hopefully one day we can get the ministry of health to recognise us better for what we are truly able to daily achieve that other practitioners can't 💪.

If you aren't sure if Osteopathy can help you for your gynaecological queries, get in touch, let's see how I might be able to help you, and yes I'll have my certificate proudly placed on my clinic wall not only to remind myself how far I have come, but also to give confidence to my beautiful patients that they are in safe osteopathic hands, that can make a difference after they've been told in the past one too many times:
"אין מה לעשות בשבילך"
(nothing can be done for you).
Now I want to change that dialogue, so I look forward to meeting you soon.

Well that's a rather wonderful message to receive. Treated a little bub with Talipes Equinovarus (also known as clubfoot) who was going towards needing leg casts with the orthoped to resolve the issue. 4 treatments, one follow up with the orthoped and no cast needed! Yay! Me and the mumma are very happy♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ 🤣♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
