Let yourself be inspired: My journey to myself - and how it can accompany you too
Hey, I'm Irene, your guide on your journey to an authentic and fulfilling life. My journey began in Lucerne in 1970, where I learned early on to take responsibility and live my adventurous spirit. As a Sagittarius with ascendant Capricorn and moon in Leo, I carry a unique combination of visionary fire, clear structure and natural leadership energy - a triad that has always shaped my path.
After my commercial training, I was drawn to the world - from western Switzerland to California, Florence and Seville. My passion for languages and cultures finally led me to my first big challenge: working as a tour guide, which took me to fascinating places such as Mallorca, Tenerife and the Dominican Republic.
Back in Switzerland, I had a successful career in the corporate business, where I worked for over 20 years as a thoroughbred tourism specialist and exporter of luxury goods. But despite all my successes and travels, I felt an increasing inner emptiness. In 2009, I suffered a burnout that changed everything: a breakdown that showed me that it was time to stop and refocus my life.
Turning crises into opportunities - and wounds into light
In 2011, I began my journey of healing with a one-way ticket to Bali. For almost two years, I immersed myself deeply in the spiritual world of the island, practiced yoga daily, learned the art of meditation and was inspired by the wisdom of local healers and priests. The Balinese ceremonies and their deep connection to nature became a source of great inspiration and planted the seed for the MOON LODGE, which years later would connect women all over the world.
To complete my healing journey, I spent the last few months in India. I was initiated into the art of Ayurveda, lived in various ashrams and immersed myself in the wisdom of life. This time was an essential step in experiencing healing and developing my own vision for the future.
MOON LODGE - A space for rituals, dance and magic
With new clarity, I founded my own heart business in Switzerland in 2013. A particular highlight was the MOON LODGE, a space for rituals, dance, Kundalini yoga and healing that touched the hearts of many women. Here I combined all my passions: moon rituals, dance and live music, which gave the evenings a magical atmosphere.
But life is constantly changing. The corona period and my back problems forced me to pause and explore new paths. During this challenging time, I created powerful spaces for community and healing with fire ceremonies in nature. These rituals provided a safe place for transformation, movement and inner strength - especially at a time when many people were seeking connection.
MYSTERY SCHOOL - A portal for maximum development
2024 - An accident changed everything. My life came to a standstill. In the midst of the chaos, something magical happened - a deep healing, an awakening, a complete rebirth.
My inner voice was louder than ever. "Now is the moment - live your true soul purpose."
I could no longer hide. My intuition, my clairvoyance and my gift of guiding people into their power finally wanted to be lived freely.
2025 - Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, clear and powerful, the great portal opened:
THE BIRTH OF THE MYSETERY SCHOOL - a place for people who feel that they are made for more. For those who are ready to step into their full radiance, live their true purpose and unfold their full potential.
WELCOME TO THE PORTAL !
From the heart - Irene
Visionary, mentor & founder of the Mystery School
TESTS OF MY PATH - OF CERTIFICATES & TRUE INITIATIONS
My real training was the trials of life: accidents, illnesses and goodbyes. Farewells to loved ones, to old versions of myself and to connections that no longer resonated. Each of these moments was an initiation into a deeper truth.
The following training courses and certificates are valuable additions on this path - tools that enrich my work. But what I teach comes from lived experience, not just from books.
