Integrative Healing Arts

Healing Path

Irèni's curiosity for the healing arts began in her dance career when she experienced spinal difficulties while in high-impact performances, tours and running her own dance company. Receiving numerous treatments, her mentorship with Nancy Topf of the  Topf Technique / Dynamic Anatomy 1996 -1998 was the modality that shifted her way of being in the body and movement, a life-changing somatic training that offered longevity practices for dancers. 


Irèni discovered the unplugged world of remote Costa Rica in the year 2000 in an Artist Residency project at Estudio Los Almendros and mentorship with Dr. Ninoska Gomez (Soma rhythms).  


Falling in love with the pure life force of Costa Rica, ocean, jungle and wildlife, she immersed herself in the blue zone environment. A journey of nearly two decades of personal growth and professional development ensued; advanced yoga certifications enriched her teaching and artistic practice.  She developed a Healing Arts Practice in remote locations in Costa Rica; founded Bamboo Yoga, FullMoonRise Yoga, and Ocean Shakti Women's Retreats. 


Her therapeutic work deepened at The Harmony Healing Center in Nosara, Costa Rica, where she combined Somatic and  Yoga techniques in her Bodywork, Barre, Dance and Aerial Modalities.


Her healing practice influenced her choreographic explorations resulting in collaborations and performances in San Jose, Costa Rica, Granada, Nicaragua and mentorship for Montreal dance artists.  


Presently Irèni is integrating her knowledge and experience  with Irèni Movement Arts based in Peterborough, Nogojiwanong, Ontario, and continues her projects in Costa Rica and Greece.




Irèni Stamou

"Irèni, you are truly a creative force and our last dance "bones" I don't think I will ever forget...there was such a high level of exploration, such courage, such adventure...the work, so strong."
Nancy Topf, New York


" Irèni is kind, present, and compassionate. She beautifully integrates the physical with the spiritual, truly embodying what people talk about when they talk about the mind-body connection. She's so much more than a bodyworker or yoga instructor.  She's a healer. Katie, Washington, DC"


"you were already such a highly attuned, gifted healer and teacher; you came in as a master".
Angela Boltz, Rasa Yoga, Montezuma, Costa Rica
