Hello! My name is Irina, and I welcome you to Nine Circle Therapy. I offer Yoga, Thai Massage, Forest Bathing, and nature based Camping Therapy services.
Through my work, I focus on helping clients cultivate a greater mind-body connection, mindfulness, and well-being. NineCircleTherapy was born out of a desire to help people feel more ease and joy in their lives through reconnecting with natural ways of being.
I take special pride in helping women feel empowered and live their best lives on their terms. I am a mother, a feminist, and a lover of the natural world. I am a licensed therapist in the state of North Carolina, a Certified Somatic Mind-Body Healing Practitioner, a Certified Forest Bathing Guide, a Licensed Massage Therapist, and a Certified Yoga Teacher.
I believe that going out in nature is an essential part of well-being. Forest and ocean bathing practices promote mindfulness, enhance mood, decrease anxiety, boost cognitive functions, and offer numerous other health benefits.
Whatever you have access to—a beach, a forest, a desert, a mountain, a backyard, a pond—you can use. Come out and take some deep breaths while simply observing the natural world around you. Our lives often get super busy, filled with endless responsibilities and chores. Unplugging for a few minutes daily is one way to restore inner peace. Nature helps regulate the nervous system and is an accessible form of free therapeutic activity. It is a gift to be used.
