Adi Kaplan has a Masters in Industrial Engineering, but went a totally different direction. At the age of 40, when many of her friends decided to go the Botox way, she knew she was going to work her way into well-aging (as she is not “anti” anything 🙂 ) and decided to go the NOtox way! She will go a long way to reduce her wrinkles, get a glow to her face and look great THE NATURAL WAY. Besides, her motto is that every wrinkle she has – she earned with hard work 🙂 She loves treating people, loves seeing results, and most of all – loves getting compliments from clients after each and every treatment.

Ofra Abramovich is the Founder of Mamanet – Mothers League, which is the largest women’s league and the 3rd most popular sports branch in Israel.

Mamanet has thousands of active mother players participating in close to 1500 teams
located in municipalities all over Israel, Cyprus, Austria, Italy, USA, Canada and Switzerland
Singapore and more.

She devotes her life to promoting Mamanet’s philosophy where mothers should be able to
belong to a sports team and thereby lead a healthy and active life. The motto is, “Every
mother can.”

As such, these mothers become a personal example and a role model for their children and
families. Mothers who participate in Mamanet have proven their ability to build a strong
community which becomes a platform to emphasize school pride, good sportsmanship,
professional competitions and enhancing community building and mutual aid. This model
was not only adopted by mothers from around the world, but also received recognition
from government agencies, the UN, sports agencies such as CSIT, the National Olympic
Committee, health & lifestyle companies and more.

The Ministry of Science is currently conducting a 3 year research which shows that Mamanet league increases social capital & promotes health and wellbeing.
