Hey, lovely to meet you.
I’m Iidala — a breathwork practitioner, writer, mother, and human currently based in the north-west of Ireland, where the weather is mostly rain and small miracles. My two wildling sons and a cat live here with me; the horse is still roaming the pastures in Estonia.
CREATIVE SOULS
To begin from the very beginning, I grew up in a theatre, literally on stage for most of my childhood. It wasn’t the drama that stayed with me but the people — creative souls who felt everything and turned it into art. It’s probably why I’ve always been drawn to people who feel deeply and create from that depth. That’s still the world I understand best.
BREATHWORK
I met Binnie A. Dansby, the founder of Source Process & Breathwork, when I was fourteen. She’s been a mentor and second mother ever since. For more than twenty years I’ve walked beside her in this work — teaching, mentoring, and holding space within the international trainings in the UK and Estonia. I’ve been GPBA-certified for over a decade and carry the lineage forward through training new practitioners and making the SOURCE Warm Water Rebirthing ritual accessible through international retreats.
SOMATIC PSYCHOLOGY AND PARENTING
Along the way I studied Biodynamic Bodywork, somatic psychology, and special education, all part of my fascination with how the mind, body, and spirit actually communicate. I’ve also spent more than ten years working with Presence-Based Parenting, supporting parents (myself included) in building capacity, connection, and space for emotions to flow through.
ENERGY WORK AND NATURE
For seven years I lived out in the Estonian wilderness, surrounded by horses and wild animals — an apprenticeship in silence, rhythm, energy work, creation and belonging. Out of that time came my book, Evaporating, a single flow of spiritual transmission and deep teaching on presence, and dissolving what no longer serves.
MY FOUNDATIONS AND HOW I JAZZ
If you know Human Design, I’m a 2/4 Projector — built for eagle vision, no-bypassing, seeing patterns, giving you absolute clarity, opening up new perspectives, and guiding you back to your real truth. My way of working is simple: I see through you, bring in innocence and compassion, and offer new inner structure that allows flow. I work with grounded passion, and straightforward care.
I also draw from Kashmiri Shaivism, A Course in Miracles, the Gene Keys, and the quiet intelligence of nature — ogham trees, stones, Celtic land, and most importantly, the Guidance.
