"I met Irena initially as a participant in one of her social/dating events she regularly hosts. She has been a great role model, guide and inspiration regarding cultivating self-love, building confidence and working towards my goals. She has been my rock through many challenging times and biggest cheerleader ever since, always reminding me of my past and current achievements, how much I’ve changed, what I’m capable of. After years of working together, I now feel lucky to call her a friend. She’s the perfect blend of compassion and professionalism, leading by example and inspiring people around her to become better versions of themselves."

"Irena helped me to uncover unhealthy patterns and my go-to default modes I did not even realize I had while interacting with men. She helped me to become aware of not projecting my own fears, expectations and insecurities onto a man. She coached me on communication and conflict management skills, which are crucial in any connection. I am very happy I used Irena’s guidance in developing relationship skills, which are crucial in any connection. I am happy I used Irena’s guidance in developing relationship skills and it has even helped me to improve relationship with myself and my children."

"Recently, I turned to Irena for advice on my dating life, which can be uncomfortable and confusing, let alone it is all now online. She was able to give me amazing inside tops and direction, which I couldn’t have known before. I had difficulty getting quality matches using online apps, she guided me to create a compelling profile and choose photos to use and requests started to pour in. I am so happy to have a coach on my side like Irena to help navigate the rocky waters of dating! After her coaching, I feel empowered to keep going on dates while looking for ‘the one’. And when I do meet a special someone to start the relationship with, I will gladly use her coaching help to ensure its success."

At 23, I believed in the magic of love as I walked down the aisle in a beautiful gown. But within three months, the fairytale began to crumble before my eyes. We both struggled with maintaining a healthy and enduring relationship. Unable to overcome communication struggles, our marriage fell apart after a brief five years.
Through my second marriage, which lasted 12 years, I recognized the need
for radical change in how I approached relationships, both with myself and others. Unhappiness and dissatisfaction seemed to persist, leaving me yearning for something deeper, but not knowing what such a relationship truly entailed.
Not ever seeing a healthy relationship model growing up, I naively believed that love and relationships would manifest if I simply waited. And I waited, continuing to make mistakes.
Like many, I learned about love and relationships from movies and the media—a far cry from reality’s complexity. Over 10 years ago, I embarked upon my own transformative journey, determined to actively acquire the skills necessary to understand myself and my desires and how to forge authentic and lasting connections with others. It took years, but it did not have to. Embarrassed and reluctant to seek guidance and support, I stubbornly attempted to navigate this path alone, convinced I was the only one with such struggles. But you don’t have to do this alone!
I have witnessed the tremendous empowerment that comes with tools for achieving balance within yourself and in meaningful connections with others. I am now able and dedicated to helping others find love and sustain it, creating a life of fulfillment. There may not be a shortcut to rewarding relationships, but I have the roadmap to help you get there!
