About Me

Hello there.

My name is Shayna Korb. I’m a Ph.D student in clinical psychology at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. My dissertation research is on women who transition from modern to fundamentalist religious communities, and how their perception of mothering changes. Though I'm originally from Cleveland, OH, I've lived in Israel, London, New York, and most recently Tucson, Arizona. I currently live in San Francisco and I’m very active here in an independent Jewish community. I love my family and friends, decaf espresso drinks, reading novels, and the outdoors.

A Space Within arose because I am fascinated by both both spirituality and personal productivity, and wanted to find a way to bring a voice of quiet introspection to the projects of improving ourselves that so many of us have.

You can also follow me on twitter, where I frequently post A Space Within related material, as well as typical twitter silliness: @aspacewithin.
