The AdiShakti Method
About Me
Hello & Welcome to TAM!
My name is Irene & I created The Adishakti Method TAM to offer holistic medicine tools from ancestral sacred wisdom for the contemporary lifestyle. I believe true healing comes from the integration of body-mind-spirit. This means that for you to achieve your highest potential and optimal health, your healing journey needs to be focused not only in your physical body, but on your mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing as well.
I am a Mexican/Canadian Medicine Woman and I have been involved in the healing arts for the past 20 yrs. I started my journey as a western medical doctor in Mexico, then came to Canada to study Chinese Medicine. I am also a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Certified Ontogonic Body-Mind Therapist and Birth Doula. I love to dance, to cook, to co-create & commune with nature.
I am fascinated by the human experience and the different states of consciousness that an individual can access for healing & transformation. I am passionate about woman's health, psycho-emotional wellbeing & spiritual development.
My goal as a holistic healer is to create a contained sacred space for you to dive deeply into yourself and find your inner powers of healing and transformation. I recognize that each individual is unique and has specific needs, this is why I use a variety of therapeutic tools and techniques drawing from my vast knowledge in the areas of western medicine, Chinese medicine, shamanism, tantra, buddhism, taoism & psychotherapy.
It is my biggest desire and hope that through a Holistic Healing approach you will find better ways to relate to your body-mind-spirit and find relief from physical, emotional, mental & spiritual suffering while feeling supported and inspired to make powerful shifts that will bring more joy, peace, pleasure, health, and love into your life! AHO. NAMASTE. ALL MY RELATIONS.
