About Dasja N Irwin

My name is Dasja N Irwin, I am a certified life coach specializing in self-care, boundaries, empowerment, and people-pleasing. I am also an author of the book Mindful Mothering A guide and workbook for breaking the cycle of trauma in your life, home and kids by the pen name Zariah Lane. I am a sister, auntie, friend, woman and most importantly a mother.

 I could begin by elaborating on my educational background however I think it's important to explain why "Mother" holds one of my most important hats. Simply because that's where I began to find my purpose. Sounds cliché, right? But the truth sometimes is simple, I was born into this world with the gift of a calming, safe aura... and my two beautiful girls were born into this world to remind be daily of that light and aura that I am to carry. Both of my girls born into this world on separate days and years but both of the same time 2:22AM/PM they are of God's greatest gifts. When doing my own research about what the number 222 could mean in many forms and practices, I read one that stuck with me the most "A reminder to work towards your soul's purpose". Daily, their smiles, laughs, joy and constant questions of "who, what, where when, and how" are a reminder that I am to not only provide that safe space and aura for my home and children but to extend that aura and healing to every woman, mother and person who desires.

So, after many years of trying to figure out what is my "soul's purpose, how do I specifically help?" I was blessed with the information of life coaching and then began the search for me to become certified.  Growing up I was constantly involved in volunteering with kids, coaching the youth, big brother big sister, mentoring and many more. I studied at CALU of PA to first be a cardiologist, after a year I switched my major to be in the social work field of some sort, two and a half years into my studies I was blessed with my first daughter and that is where my true healing began to take place.

As a mother I began to step into the feeling and understanding of needing to heal myself, deeply and under all the layers so that I am able to present and show up as my best self, so my daughter is able to become and grow into her best self.

I began to journal and write, after writing was not enough, I began therapy. After going through two therapists, I wanted to give up, but I found a beautiful being who began to aid in my healing and unpacking process.  After years of therapy and another beautiful daughter, and continuously doing the work, I have made it out more blissful and lighter than ever before. 

I never understood why kids always quickly gravitated towards me, why random people will come and share their stories with me, ask me for advice or just an ear to listen when I have not known them for more than just a moment. Until one day I really sat down with myself to understand the light and love that I have to share and provide within me.
