DR. IRENA NAMYRAH NAYFELD
PSYCHOLOGIST GONE WILD
Rehumanize
nourishing what matters most
Hello, dear human.
I am Irena Nayfeld, Ph.D.
You can call me Namyrah.
In a world that often asks us to move faster, perform more, and override what we feel, rehumanizing is a radical and necessary act.
Over the last 20 years, my work in developmental psychology and my own lived experience have become two streams flowing into the same river—re-defining what it means to be a "successful" human, what truly nourishes us, and how safety, connection, belonging, and aliveness are actually built.
Again and again, I’ve seen what becomes possible when we orient toward what is felt and true rather than what is expected: people soften, come alive, and begin relating and working from a place of greater honesty, creativity, and trust.
Working at the intersection of poetry, psychology, and embodied practice, I support individuals and groups in reconnecting with the invisible roots that allow humans and human systems to thrive—safety, emotional attunement, belonging, authentic expression, and creative life force.
Put simply, I create spaces that invite people to come home to themselves, come together with others, and come alive.
WORK WITH ME
Through one-to-one mentorship, group experiences, and organizational collaborations, I create embodied spaces where people and teams reconnect with their inner knowing, express authentically, and come alive.
1:1 Embodied Liberation Mentorship
Most of us were taught to live in our heads, rationalize our decisions, and override the wisdom of our bodies.
Over time, this disconnect dulls our intuition, constricts our power, and quiets the life force current that already knows the way.
This mentorship is for womxn ready to reclaim their inner authority and root into a more truthful, embodied way of living and leading.
Together we cultivate your relationship to intuition, inner power, and life force -- so your that your boundaries, relationships, and decisions are rooted in from deep alignment, not conditioning and obligation.
Sessions are highly individualized and may include guided embodied practice, inquiry, nervous system support, integration, and between-session guidance.
If you know that it is time to embody your wisdom, reclaim your erotic life force, and live from what is true - I would be delighted to meet you.

FROM THE INSIDE OUT
Small Group Program
This is a 9 week program that is designed to retrain your basis of operation.
This program is for intuitive, deep feeling creatives, leaders, and dreamers who are ready to live rooted in intuition, authentic self expression, and soul-led truth.
Our conditioning teaches us to stay in boxes, stay palpable, and do what "makes sense."
To live from the inside out, we must reconnect with our inner voice, relearn it's language, and practice trusting that which our mind cannot understand.
​
In this program, we do this, together.

Group Programs, Workshops & Collaborations
I partner with organizations, collectives, and creative spaces to design programs, workshops, and professional development experiences that center embodiment, emotional intelligence, human connection, and joy.
As a consultant and facilitator, I support leaders and teams in cultivating presence, trust, and authentic communication — tending the relational and emotional foundations that allow people and programs to thrive.
As a poet, facilitator, and guide, I weave poetry, somatic practices, and experiential rituals to create spaces of presence, expression, and remembrance. Poetry becomes a portal, opening people into deeper listening, felt connection, and embodied insight, both individually and together.
My work often lives at the intersection of language, body, and collective experience — supporting people to take up space, be seen, and reconnect with what is alive within them and between them.

WORDS OF GRATITUDE
There is no end to the growth, the coming home to my truth, that is happening to me.
​
Working with Namyrah is different than anything else I've done. And I've done a lot - various meditation practices, 12 step programs, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, yoga therapy, dance therapy, art therapy...
Yet none of that allowed me to hear what I am hearing today: the clear, unfiltered, fearless voice that comes right from the middle of my belly, does not flinch, does not edit, does not doubt, and does not stop speaking my truest truth.
​
What makes the practice awe inspiring is Namyrah themself. They embody truth and wholeness in a way that makes me not only believe that I can do the same, but makes it impossible for me not to.
I am forever changed. Thank you.
