Who am I?
My parents named me Irina, it means Peace.
I was born at home, with the help of a midwife, in The Netherlands on May 9th 1984.
Now I am partially rooting on the Oaxacan coast of Mexico. After roaming North America for years, experiencing a nomadic life, finding more of myself along the way, definitely ditching a lot of who I thought I was, and feeling into other ways of living life.
A simpler life, grounded, embodied, connected and sacred.
Finally, after quite the amount of work to learn to love and appreciate life and this meat suit I inhabit, I can say that I am most at home in nature, barefoot and in my body under the Sun, Moon and Stars .
I love plants, herbs and drinking tea. And nifty as I am, I love creating things like talismans, jewellery, altars, and in a simple way redesigning clothes.
I find joy in exploring the world, in music, singing and dancing. Making and eating healthy desserts and home cooked meals fills me quite literally too, besides the pleasure of tasting.
And then, of course, I also use these magical hands I have been gifted with for the art of touch.
Guiding people into connecting deeper with their bodies, clearing energetic blocks and inviting them to be present with, feel and release emotional, energetic and physical tensions.
In Januari 2023 I followed my desire to learn more practical about authentic tantra and decided to partake in a teacher training. Before this I had already heard about Yoni and Lingam massage, though during this training it became a proper introduction. Right there during this course I felt that this therapy is part of my calling here on Earth.
During the years before I had done different massage courses and so I have put all of the art of touch I have learned together, combined with a set of other skills I have, and started giving these therapies to be of service to my fellow humans.
We all need to be held in pure prescense, to be touched without an agenda and witnessed as our pure selves.
My path has not been straight, nor simple.
It still is not, though I am walking and stumbling it with more grace and joy now.
I went through it all.
Loss, longing, awakening. Through fire, silence and the raw edges of all emotions.
I have learned to welcome all of it, sit with them, cry, laugh, rage, scream, until they pass again.
I’ve chosen not the expected path, but one my heart whispers.
The one that leads me deeper into myself, into the sacred.
What I offer arises from that place.
Each session with me is a ceremony.
A meeting of breath and pure presence from me to you and an invitation for you to give yourself the same.
A place where time softens and the body speaks.
Where all of you is welcome and any emotion is allowed
Nothing needs to be fixed, only felt, honoured, and gently released.
I can assure you I will hold you safely.
Though I cannot make you feel safe, that is only a decision you can make for yourself.
Listen to your intuition, She knows.
Surrender. Release.
You Are Invited.
At your service with Love and Dedication,
Irina
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
