About Iona

Emotio‑Spiritual Facilitator for Personal, Transpersonal & Existential Process Work

A Depth‑Oriented, Transpersonal Approach Rooted in Lived Experience

Hi, my name is Iona. I moved to Ireland in early 2024 and established my practice in the heart of County Sligo after a lifetime of feeling the call of my heart — drawn by a deep love for this land and its people. I am finally home.

This move, and everything it represents, was only possible because of my ongoing, rigorous commitment to healing — from my conditioned, wounded self toward the essential truth of my SoulSelf. I’ve shared a bit about that journey here.

What I offer is more than a set of tools; it is a deeply integrated, non‑clinical, transpersonal therapeutic framework. This approach is one I have lived, tested, and refined over the past 30 years, and through which I have supported individuals, couples, and groups in navigating emotional, psychological, and existential distress for more than two decades.

If you would like to know a little more about me, 
here are some earthly & spiritual key points:

 

I see you as Soul before I see you as human.

I see you as Being before I see you as man or woman.

I see you as love, goodness, and innocence — before I see your entanglements, distortions, and shadows.

I see you as the eternal individualization of the Divine.

From this ground, I dare to meet you directly

to name everything honestly and unveiled, gently and with love

so that you too may finally feel, recognize, know, and experience yourself

as all of this.

 

Professional Background & Qualifications

Academic Foundations

My early academic path included eight semesters of psychology, pedagogy, medicine, and natural sciences in Germany. While I valued the rigour of this foundation, I recognised that a purely academic lens could not fully encompass the multidimensionality of the human soul.

 

State‑Licensed Holistic Practitioner (Germany – Heilpraktiker)

Since 2005, I have been working as a State‑Licensed Holistic Practitioner (Heilpraktiker) — a comprehensive qualification regulated by German state law. This license includes training in clinical diagnostics, internal medicine, and therapeutic interventions, granting full authority for independent clinical practice in my home jurisdiction.

 

My Role in Ireland

In my Irish practice, I work as an Emotio‑Spiritual Facilitator for Personal, Transpersonal & Existential Process Work. My work is non‑clinical, not a regulated health profession, and not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment. It is distinct from coaching and moves beyond solution‑focused models into depth‑oriented, transpersonal, emotionally attuned process work.

My practice blends:

• extensive clinical knowledge

• depth‑psychological insight

• trauma‑sensitive awareness

• transpersonal intuition

• existential clarity

For those seeking trauma‑informed support and senior‑level depth of presence, I offer a professional space where psychological rigour and spiritual integration meet.

This work focuses on alleviating deeper emotional suffering and supporting profound personal self‑efficacy through the integration of unresolved experiences.

My Emotio‑Spiritual Soul Journey

Integration of Nondual Awakening & GodRealization in the context of emotive soul healing

Since my teenage years, I have walked a path of deconstructing the protective and compensatory self — healing childhood and past‑life woundings, uncovering the truth of my soul, and learning to live from my SoulSelf.

In the summer of 2013, I was unexpectedly found by a profound shift in consciousness — a spontaneous nondual awakening that occurred not through traditional practice, but through a direct, lived opening to what I later came to call the Nondual Aspect of the Divine Being.

This initiated a lasting shift that deepened over the following years into layers of God Realization.

As I integrated these awakening processes, my spiritual‑therapeutic capacities evolved. I now accompany people far beyond conventional psychological counselling — into the subtle, sacred landscapes of the SoulSelf and beyond: Awakening, Enlightenment, and God Realization.

Only after this direct realization did I immerse myself in traditional meditation and mindfulness teachings, allowing me to translate the wordless depth of my experience into practical, grounded tools.

Through these journeys into Divine Self — into Love as Essence — a lifelong soul inquiry was answered:

What exists prior to Nonduality?

A shift occurred: a formless form of wholeness where individuality and the Divine coexist without contradiction and co‑create life itself.

This shift transformed my work: Soul‑Essence‑Love and Divine Love now form the ground of every encounter. From this ground, I invite the most vulnerable, wounded, and disowned parts — as well as the deepest shadows — into consciousness and integration.

This is where true healing begins. This is where you remember your essence: love and goodness.

 

Supporting Professionals & Therapists

In my work with professionals and therapists, I offer a high‑intensity reflective space grounded in expanded consciousness. This supports others in navigating the complexities of their roles through the clarity of the SoulSelf.

 

My Offering to You

I offer you both the map and the compass:

• the grounded safety of a professionally trained practitioner

• the intuitive resonance of a soul who has walked the path of ensoulment, awakening, and surrender into the Divine

If you feel called to explore your own version of these heart‑and‑soul landscapes, it would be my deep pleasure to walk beside you.
