Irene is the alchemist behind Da Lua Herbals and an experienced event organiser. She runs a variety of regenerative offerings, including 1:1 sessions, hands-on workshops, women’s circles and wellness retreats worldwide (see all upcoming and past events here). Irene is also the co-founder of Loba Nomad, a women’s empowerment network, and a certified women’s health educator and therapist.

Based in west Portugal near Lourinhã, Irene leads @casa.vermelha.v, a seaside regenerative project. Casa Vermelha is a playground for community practice, natural building techniques, creative skills, replanting food and medicinal species, and bridging different disciplines and socio-cultural groups. This community-oriented project aims to connect and empower like-minded individuals interested in regenerative practices, sustainability, creativity, decentralised culture, and alternative lifestyles, all within an inspiring setting that sparks dreams, experimentation, and skill-sharing.

Irene is fascinated by holistic health and herbal medicine, ancient wisdom and traditional craftsmanship, self-sustainability, and the return to our roots. As an eternal herbalism student, regenerative event organiser, and women’s health educator, she weaves her poetic worldview into all her endeavours, captivating and reconnecting us to our roots.
