History
The Refuah Institute was founded in New York in 1994 by Dr. Rabbi Joshua H. Ritchie, M.D., as an Orthodox Jewish non-profit educational organization dedicated to providing education and services that promote wellbeing and harmonious relationships in accordance with Torah Hashkafa principles.
In 1996 the Refuah Institute established the Center for Crisis Counseling Hot-Line in Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
In 2001, the Refuah Institute moved its operations base to the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem and established the Refuah Institute Professional Coach Training Programs, graduating students with Diploma and Certification as Life Coaches.
Rabbi and Rebbitzen Ritchie
The Life Coach training program at Refuah is a comprehensive course that comprises a wide range of technical tools. The course is easy to follow and understand. The lecturers are specialists in their particular fields and can summarize in one or two sessions what took them years to learn. The vast amount of information is presented and handed out to the students in a most comfortable way, over the internet in the comfort of your own home. There is access to recordings if you happen to miss a session. The atmosphere is informal and in a real spirit of Ahavas Yisrael. I highly recommend this course and the Refuah Institute
