| Ira Israel spent more than twenty years traveling around the world, studying, and researching tools for leading a meaningful life: after completing his Ivy-League undergraduate degree and Master of Arts degree in philosophy, Ira moved to Paris to study existentialism. While traveling in Asia, Ira became interested in Eastern philosophies, yoga, meditation, and Reiki healing - all of which led to his second Master of Arts degree in Religious Studies concentrating on Buddhism, Hinduism, and Kabbalah. After continuing his studies and practices with myriad teachers, healers, gurus, and saints - as well as becoming a Registered Yoga Teacher 500, Certified Yoga Therapist, and Certified Reiki Practitioner - Ira decided to round off his education with a third Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology. Of the many lessons learned during twenty years of traveling and studying Ira knows that the best tool for leading a meaningful life is to be of service to others, which is why he founded Optimum Integral Wellness and continues lead seminars, participate in numerous community groups, and volunteer at local schools and recovery centers. |
