Amiga, MD and self-proclaimed gypsy witch doctor, Irene, grew in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and started surfing later in life when she realized it helped her heal physically and emotionally. This encouraged her to pursue alternative healing modalities such as Chinese medicine and shamanism after studying traditional western medicine. Irene believes in the integration of Western and Eastern medicine, as well as the spiritual aspect of healing. She focuses on women's health and empowerment, helping women reconnect with their feminine energy. In this episode we hear about Irene's personal surf story and the lessons she learned from a surfing accident, as well as how to use tools such as breathing, visualization, and positive affirmations to benefit us and our health.
