1:1 Coaching, Coven, Groups, + Workshops
“This has been an incredibly transformative process for me. It’s been shocking how much lighter I feel after the simplest change in breath or movement. One session allowed me to safely regulate my nervous system more than tens of thousands of dollars of CBT ever had. I’ve been blown away by how much wisdom the body has and the kindness with which Irene helped me access it.
I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on different forms of traditional therapy. While it was helpful, I was limited in my progress because I didn’t have the tools to regulate my nervous system. I’ve learned what safety can feel like, and released emotions that were all consuming. One session is more powerful than all the therapy I’ve had before.”

1:1 Somatic Pleasure Coaching
Somatic pleasure coaching is a collaborative process of self-discovery and healing to help you embody your deepest desires and your most expansive, liberated pleasure.
In somatic coaching, we identify patterns of how body, mind, emotions, relationships, and culture might be mutually impacting each other, and work at the level of the body to help interrupt those patterns and program new ones.
As a coach, I’m invested in you making progress on your own terms, in a way that is sustainable and integrated amongst all your layers.
“I highly recommend working with Irene for meaningful, sustainable, loving transformation of self. She’s the real deal.
I started working with Irene to help me reveal, process, and integrate the aftermath of sexual and spiritual trauma. Her tender, grounding, steady presence has been a guiding light in times of anxiety and fear. The practical tools she’s taught me have transformed my triggers into growth opportunities and helped my relationships with my family members. I’ve added new (better) coping skills for my addictive behaviors and overall feel empowered, enlivened, and more balanced as a result of working with her.
It can be scary to invest but my investment paid off tenfold. If you’re unsure about choosing yourself, just go for it. My time with Irene has benefitted my family, business, and overall well-being. Thank you Irene. You’re truly an earth angel.”

“I feel like my greatest transformation from this program was a HUGE one. It feels like this program played a role in me transitioning from excavating my trauma in a way that has made me feel at times disempowered and in my victimhood, to integrating my trauma into a life that is oriented towards pleasure, empowerment, and being in my flow” -AC

Workshops
Pandemic Pain to Pleasure:
Practices to Move Through Trauma
This 90-minute masterclass explores pleasure as a radical practice for both personal and collective wellness in traumatic times.
As of April 2020, we’re looking at a big period of unknown ahead, potentially months of living in the pre-conditions for collective trauma and an evolving context of personal challenges. We are leaning into lots of not-knowing and un-knowing all at once. Not knowing and un-knowing can easily put us in protection mode and states of defense, but these states are not designed to go on for extended periods. We can support ourselves and our collective right now by adopting practices that help us process our grief and connect to our pleasure.
What makes this workshop different than other self-work you might be seeing right now?
I’m talking about how to both self-regulate AND co-regulate. This isn’t a “you’re solely responsible for doing your healing work” approach, but grounded in a philosophy of our relational interdependence. Together, we will illuminate a blueprint for how we move through this massive shift by practicing the embodiment of that interdependence. I’m going to give you tools for understanding yourself in our global context, and also how to utilize human relationships so we can all be better supported. This time is a collective trauma, so we need collective presence and collective healing.
Why is pleasure in pandemic important?
We always want mobility and resilience between nervous system states, but it becomes especially significant in balancing an accumulation of stress. When we get stuck in the more taxing nervous system states, we burn out and shut down in the long term. We can support ourselves and our loved ones right now by beginning to commit to the practices that help with that mobility and resilience, by learning tools that will help us maintain the space to tend to our more intense emotions.
Cost: This is a donation-based offering, because hey, we're in wild times, and I want you to have the tools you need. Please do and pay only what feels right to you in this moment. (50% of proceeds will be donated to mutual aid efforts in Providence, RI)
