"I learned to blend science with intuition, structure with flow, and wisdom with creativity"

The Turning Point 
For more than twenty-five years, I dedicated my life to helping others heal, grow, and transform. As a mental health professional and life coach, I had the privilege of witnessing people rise from their deepest struggles into their brightest breakthroughs. And yet, despite the fulfillment my career brought me, there was a quiet voice inside whispering: Iris, you’re not done growing. 
When I joined the Mindvalley Life Coaching Training, I thought it would simply sharpen my skills. What I didn’t expect was how deeply it would transform me. At first, I carried the confidence of someone with decades of experience, but very quickly, I realized this training wasn’t just about tools or techniques. It was about awakening parts of myself I had forgotten to nurture. 
Through the experience, I reconnected with my purpose in a more expansive way. I learned to blend science with intuition, structure with flow, and wisdom with creativity. I found my voice again—stronger, freer, and more aligned with the woman I’ve always known I could become. 
This wasn’t just professional development; it was a rebirth. I stepped out of the training not only as a coach with years of experience, but as a renewed leader of transformation—empowered, inspired, and unstoppable. 
Today, I don’t just guide change. I embody it.
