Helping You Reconnect with Yourself, One Conversation at a Time.
I'm Irene Doreste — a Registered Nurse and Certified Life & Health Coach.
JOURNEY
THE PATH THAT LED ME HERE
THE FOUNDATION
Where Compassion Began
For over a decade as a Registered Nurse at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I walked alongside patients and families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
While medicine treated the body, I couldn't help but wonder...
What helps people truly heal?
THE SEARCH
Looking Beyond Traditional Healing
That question led me on a journey of learning.
I immersed myself in psychology, transformational coaching, nervous system regulation, breathwork, energy healing, and intuitive development—not to replace science, but to deepen my understanding of the human experience.
THE INTEGRATION
Where Science Meets Soul
Years of study revealed something I now believe with my whole heart:
People are not broken.
Many are simply living from unconscious patterns, nervous system responses, and identities shaped by life's experiences.
Real transformation happens when we care for the whole person—mind, body, and soul.
TODAY
Founder of Soul Surgery Life Coaching
Today, I help individuals, families, and organizations reconnect with the truest version of themselves through transformational coaching, breathwork, nervous system regulation, intuitive development, and holistic healing.
Because healing isn't about becoming someone new.
It's about remembering who you truly are.
VALUES
What Guides Our Work
People Are Not Broken
We believe every person already possesses the wisdom, resilience, and potential they seek. Our role isn't to fix you—it's to help you uncover what has been keeping you from remembering who you truly are.
Healing Happens Through the Whole Person
We believe lasting transformation happens when the mind understands, the body feels safe, and the soul is free to lead. Healing isn't found in one modality—it's created through the integration of the whole person.
Awareness Creates Choice
Transformation begins with awareness. By recognizing the unconscious patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that shape our lives, we create the freedom to make new choices and move forward with intention.
Transformation That Lasts
We don't believe in quick fixes or temporary motivation. We believe in creating meaningful, sustainable change that empowers you to trust yourself, live authentically, and confidently move toward the life you were created to live.
