Rina (Plapler) Katz — CEO

I sometimes wonder if it all began the day I fell on my head. I was four, spending the summer abroad, when I lost consciousness and my mother carried me to a local hospital. Maybe that was the moment something opened, an invisible thread that’s quietly guided me ever since. At twelve, I bucked the trends and told my parents I wanted to stop religious school and learn to ice skate instead. They agreed, surprisingly. At fifteen, I left my prestigious high school for an experimental one, and by seventeen, I was traveling alone across Europe. I majored in Religion and never once worried about finding a job after school. My compass was never logic, it was intuition. I trusted it completely. That trust carried me to Harvard, then to Cairo, then into a long career in global branding that included ten years in Dubai, creating belief systems for companies the way others create religions. Working on iconic, once in a lifetime projects. The work was thrilling. Demanding. As I got older, fear crept in. I grew cautious, quieted my intuition, and kept pushing. The signs came quietly at first: chronic fatigue. Then louder: inflammation, rashes, ear infections, strange symptoms no one could explain. I kept performing, producing, pushing through. Somewhere inside, I knew it was time for change, but I was afraid. The turning point came the day before my mother died. She’d been a healer all her life, an oncology nurse with a singing voice that could lift the energy of a room. Seriously. As I touched her feet, I felt a surge of electricity, a current of energy that moved through me, awakening a gift she had carried all her life. Since then, I’ve devoted myself to the study and practice of healing: using nature, intuition, and a blend of traditional and cutting-edge energy medicine techniques. Now, through my company, Oak Tree Energetics, I help people return to the wisdom their bodies have been whispering all along, to reconnect, and remember what real vitality feels like. Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about coming home to who you’ve always been.
