Simple Being · Dana Niv

Mental resilience isn't a superpower. It's a set of small tools you can learn.

I'm Dana, and I teach simple, research-based tools for emotional regulation, self-compassion, and Nonviolent Communication. For you, and for your team.

Who is this for?

Sound familiar?

You got a compliment, and immediately explained why you didn't really deserve it.

The day is over, but your mind keeps working overtime.

You wanted to say something important, and it turned into a fight.

These aren't character flaws. They're natural mechanisms, and you can learn to work with them. That's exactly what I work on: small tools you can start using tomorrow morning.

Two ways to work with me

For myself

  • Weekly posts on Instagram, down to earth
  • Open workshops and small groups
Tools for me

For organizations

  • Human OS: the resilience protocol, as a talk or a workshop
  • 75–90 minutes, tailored to your team
  • A good fit for company days, wellbeing activities, and stressful periods

What makes my approach different

Research-based

The tools are grounded in psychology and research on stress and resilience. No magic promises.

Practical, not just inspiring

You leave with a practice you can do in a minute, anywhere.

Down to earth

No jargon and no preaching. We talk about what's really going on.

Nice to meet you

I'm Dana Niv

I studied psychology and sociology (B.A.), and for years I worked in mental health rehabilitation and facilitated groups. As a resilience coach, including at Clalit Health Services, I saw again and again that the most meaningful tools are usually also the simplest, as long as they're explained well and actually practiced.

Today I'm studying for a master's degree in social work (MSW) and doing a clinical internship. In my work, I combine tools from Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and from the world of emotional regulation. Simple Being grew out of one idea: to simply be. Even when the world is complicated.

  • B.A. in psychology and sociology
  • Mental health rehabilitation
  • Group facilitation
  • Resilience coach
  • Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
  • MSW student
