About Iona

Hi, my name is Iona. I moved to Ireland in early 2024 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 Soul Self. I’ve shared a bit about that journey here.

What I offer is not just a therapeutic method with effective tools — it’s a way of life. One I’ve lived, tested, and refined over the past 30 years, and through which I’ve supported individuals, couples, and groups 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.

Earthly career & training background

After graduating from high school in Germany, I immersed myself in a vibrant mix of psychology, pedagogy, education, natural sciences, and medicine — studying for eight semesters (four years). Yet I found that the rigid academic worldview of the university could not align with my soul’s intuitions or my understanding of human nature. So I chose a different path, completing my training at a naturopathic school — one that honored the holistic and spiritual dimensions of healing.

Between 2003 and 2013, I undertook extensive training in therapeutic facilitation rooted in emotional and spiritual depth.

Since 2003, I have been facilitating individuals, couples & groups as both a psychotherapeutic and emotive-spiritual facilitator — holding space for transformation, truth, and the unfolding of soul essence.

Emotio-spiritual soul journey: Integration of Nondual Awakening & GodRealization in the context of emotive soul healing

Since my teenage years and throughout early adulthood, I followed many paths to deconstruct the protective and compensatory self — to heal childhood and past-life woundings, to authenticate the truth of my soul, and to uncover a deeper sense of my SoulSelf.

In the summer of 2013, during a convergence of profound inner processes, I was unexpectedly found — not through effort or practice (I have actually never meditated) — by what I later came to call the Nondual Aspect of the Divine Being. This encounter initiated a fundamental and lasting shift in consciousness, which deepened over the following years into ever-richer layers of God Realization.

As I’ve integrated these awakening processes to a critical degree, my spiritual-therapeutic capacities have evolved. I now accompany people far beyond conventional psychological counseling — into the subtle, sacred landscapes of the SoulSelf and beyond: into realms of Awakening, Enlightenment, and God Realization.

Through these journeys into Divine Self — into Love as Essence — a lifelong soul inquiry was finally answered: What exists prior to Nonduality? From the ancient split between eternal Individuality-as-Soul and the Ultimate Divine Love Being unfolding into Nondual Stillness–Void–Infinity, a shift occurred within me. It became a formless form of wholeness, where individuality and the Divine coexist without contradiction and co-create life and existence itself.

This shift has deeply transformed my work with souls: Soul-Essence-Love and Divine Love now form the ground of every encounter. From this ground, I invite the most vulnerable, tender, wounded, and needy parts — as well as the deepest, darkest, and most disowned shadows — into consciousness and into the center of the experience. This is where true integration and healing begin. This is where you begin to remember and become your essence: love and goodness.

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.
