My personal story
Hi, I’m Irina Wolf. My journey has been one of resilience and transformation, moving from the depths of depression to a life dedicated to health, wellness, and joyful living. I believe that every challenge can become a stepping stone toward discovering your true potential.
Creativity, Neurodiversity, and Early Struggles
Before I found my path in holistic health, my first love was art. I spent over a decade in art schools, refining my skills and sharpening my eye for detail. Creativity has always been at the heart of how I see the world - whether as an art teacher, photographer’s assistant, prop creator, stylist, makeup artist, or photographer. These experiences shaped not only my artistic vision but also my ability to think outside the box, make unexpected connections, and approach problem-solving in a deeply intuitive way.
My neurodivergence is a core part of this perspective. It has given me a unique way of experiencing the world –one that embraces depth, complexity, and an ability to see patterns where others might not.
But in my early years, it also contributed to feelings of isolation, sadness, and an overwhelming sense of not quite fitting in. As a teenager, I struggled with deep depression, questioning whether my life had any real meaning. Yet, even in my darkest moments, a part of me held onto hope, searching for something more.
Nightlife and a Search for Purpose
By my early twenties, I found myself immersed in the fast-paced world of nightclub work. At first, the late nights and high energy felt like an escape, but over time, I realised that this lifestyle was depleting me. The further I drifted from my health and creativity, the more I longed for something with true meaning.
A Cliff Dive, a Concussion, and a Will to Live
During this phase, I took part in an adventure reality TV show, where I had to leap from a towering cliff into the water below. What should have been a thrilling moment left me with a concussion and a stark moment of clarity. As I struggled underwater, something shifted - I felt an overwhelming will to live. Emerging from that experience marked the beginning of my transformation. I knew I had to make a radical change, one that would allow me to truly heal and grow.
