Hi, I'm Irena-Marie,
I help people who want to change their mind - because then, you can change your narrative...

Your thoughts, feelings and beliefs
shape your habits, and
your habits affect how you
think, feel, and do...


It's all about creating the MINDSET,
and maintaining in the NOW.

Taking the First Step

Seeking help isn’t always easy—we often sit with our 'pain' for a long time before deciding to act.

But by being here, you’ve already taken a courageous step toward change.

And you don’t have to do it alone - I will support you along with way...

​

We are merely following pre-set mind maps that we have created since early childhood.

 

One of the most amazing facts about the brain is it also does not know the difference between past, present and future!

​

So, we can use this process to create new future mind maps. Thus changing old negative thought patterns.

​

By learning how to do this - we can feel and be, how we prefer to feel and be...

Hi, I'm Irena-Marie

In 2007 my husband Rod and I, decided we had enough of living a mediocre life in the UK.

It was time to retrain... feel the fear, and do it anyway!
