Dr. Irena Nayfeld | Reconnecting to Ourselves, Nature, and Each Other

Hello, dear human.

I am Dr. Irena Nayfeld, psychologist of human development, education consultant, embodied transformation facilitator and guide.

My work and life practice are rooted in the deep belief that we create a more joyful, just, and liberatory world when we reconnect to our own humanity, to each other, and to the natural world around us.

Let's rehumanize together.

Offerings

Whole Human Development

Workshops & Consultation

Many of us were raised and educated in families, cultures, and systems that prioritized survival and achievement over emotional and spiritual wellbeing, connection, or humanity.

It is time for a different way.

When adults commit to reclaiming their full humanity and actually embodying the values they want to pass down, they become able to live, parent, and educate in more humanizing, healing-centered ways.

I partner with organizations to create more humanity-affirming, justice, and joy-centered spaces for children and adults.

Workshops, collaboration, and consultant services available in person (NYC Metro area) or virtually.

Embodied Healing for Deep-Feeling Women

Group Program

Our stories, our traumas, our truths...they all live in our bodies.

This 9-week program merges psychology of human development, trauma-informed somatic practice, and embodied healing modalities to guide you into reconnecting with your body, remembering who you are underneath the conditioning and embodying her as you reclaim your wholeness, your true nature, and your wild.

Over the 9 weeks, we create a safe, soul-nurturing space where community and sisterhood are part of the healing.

Next program begins June, 2024!

Embodied Transformation

One-on-One Program

Have you been feeling stuck? Burnt out? Disconnected from yourself?

Desiring to live with alive, more fully yourself?

Our conditioning teaches us to perform, to keep pushing, and to fit into roles that disconnect us from our fullness, our wild, and aliveness.

To live alive, we have to make our way back to ourselves. And the way there is through our bodies.

When we feel what our bodies carry, we access and release the conditioning that keeps us stuck. Only then can we embody who we are now ready to be.

If you need the space and guidance to move out of your head and into your body to become the person you actually want to be, I would be honored to support your journey.

Humans of all genders and identities welcome.

Forest Therapy and Nature Connection Programs

Part of the disconnection and dissatisfaction many of us feel is rooted in our disconnection from the natural world.

Forest therapy, also known as Forest Bathing, is a mindful heart-centered practice of connecting with the natural world. As we connect with nature, we inevitably connect to ourselves. Guided walks are available as one-on-one sessions or in groups.

Forest Therapy events take place in Eagle Rock Reservation in Montclair, NJ., or upon request.

"I realized how I was hiding myself from life. Irena is very kind and emphatic and in every session I had deep insights and experience many aha moments that made me realize of better ways to take care of myself."
