When Irina was a child, her grandmother dazzled her with stories of fireflies-those magical insects that inspire wonder and awe and illuminate all around them.

 

These are the guiding principles for Velvet Sky Coaching, Irina's practice where she helps soon-to-be empty nest moms rediscover the confidence and light that they felt as a child looking up at a Velvet Sky of fireflies.

 

Irina works with women to wade through the insecurity they may feel as they transition from being a mom to being an Empty Nester and focuses on helping them find this new life. She asks important questions and gives guidance on fear, meditation, exercise, self-care, and mental and physical well-being. Her inspiration comes from Grandma Tamara who is 80 years old accompanied Irina and her family to America and said, “I now draw a line over the past and start a new life”. Irina believes it is never too late to learn and recently skied a black diamond for the first time. Irina enjoys playing tennis, long walks, and meditation.
