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 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 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 .  A Wild Woman with the Earth as body, water as blood, air as breath and fire as spirit and heart

​

I love plants, herbs and drinking tea. 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. Nifty as I am, I enjoy creating things like Talismans, jewellery, paintings, Altars and in a simple way (re)designing clothes.

​

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, inviting them to feel and release stuck emotions and whatnot.

My path has not been straight, nor simple.

I’ve walked and stumbled through it all.

Loss, longing, awakening — through fire, through silence, through the raw edge of emotion.

And 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 any emotion is allowed, and 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.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
