In 2009 and 2011 she attended the “Self I-Dentity through Ho’oponopono (SITH®)” classes taught by Dr. Ihaleakalá Hew Len and Mary Koehler. Since then, not a single day has passed without cleaning. Through the SITH® process, a life once lived in debt and fear, filled with dissatisfaction, was completely transformed into a life of fulfillment, freedom, and balance. She is deeply grateful for the opportunities to clean given to her by family, friends, colleagues, and every kind of financial circumstance.
Irene raised two children and is also a master practitioner of Lomilomi, an author, and a television producer for a children’s channel in Munich. She has experienced firsthand how, as many problems fall away and inspiration is received from Divinity, life truly becomes more beautiful.
What I want to say to everyone interested in a private session is that no matter how strong the emotions you find yourself in, cleaning is always happening.
To be overwhelmed by emotion, or to be knocked down, is very painful — and yet we are always protected; if we choose it, we connect with the Divinity within, and we are always being guided.
Cleaning is always at work. Even when it feels as though we are doing nothing, we exist as tools of cleaning.
Let me share something personal. Just recently I had a very painful experience — I lost my beloved dog, a member of my family who for 14 years was always with me except when I was traveling for work. Soon after showing signs of back pain his condition worsened rapidly, and although I took him to the hospital, he passed away. His death was a great shock, and I reached a state where I could not even clean.
I felt I had known this sensation before. Opening the door in front of me and stepping one foot through, beyond it was “depression.” I knew what lay beyond if I did not clean — that I would be unable to escape it, suffering, tormented by anger, asking why this had to happen to me.
At that moment I remembered someone once saying, “You yourself can become the cleaning tool.” And I accepted: even if there are times right now when I cannot even clean, that is all right.
At the same time, through his loss, I realized that what I had lost was not presence itself, but the feeling of love, joy, and peace. He had been reminding me of these all along. So now I have begun the practice of cleaning again, and I am finding them once more within myself.
Even when I truly could not clean, I came to feel that I was being protected. Only later did I understand it as a connection with the Divine. Even when we are swallowed by emotion, we are always being guided.
Through a private session, no matter where you are right now, what you are experiencing, or how overwhelmed by helplessness you may be, I would like to help you return to that awareness — that the true you is always protected.
