Ira (they/them) is a Filipinx immigrant space-holder, spiritual channel, and co-creator of experiences whose work centers historically marginalized communities. Through coaching + energy healing, community building, and high-integrity vision-driven entrepreneurship, Ira’s intention is to support people in accessing their inherent power and transcending conditioned limits, which stems from a belief in a compassion- and abundance-based path to creating more justice and equity in the world. Ira’s approach to coaching and energy work has been largely shaped by a decade of professional experience in LGBTQ+ community organizing and leadership, program management, learning and development, research, and startup entrepreneurship. Ira is an ICF-certified transformational coach, Reiki III practitioner, and ThetaHealing® practitioner and teacher. Prior to moving to New York from Manila, they held Learning and Business Intelligence roles in the private sector, including Chevrolet and IBM, before shifting to community and nonprofit work nationally and in the Asia-Pacific region, including projects with United Nations agencies, the World Health Organization, and The Global Fund.
