FAQs

What should I know before booking a session @SoSubtle?

A session at So Subtle is not a replacement therapy for any medical treatment that you may be undergoing.

All energy equilibrations at So Subtle are unique to your circumstances and are a supplement to your already existing health routine.

If you are under the care of a medical doctor or therapist I would like to work with them side by side.

By booking a session @ So Subtle you are agreeing with the website disclaimer.

Do you offer group sessions?

Currently, I offer one-on-one and couples sessions.

What benefits do your recipients report?

  • Increased sense of calm, well-being, and a sense that all is right with the world – despite what’s being played on the media.
  • Reduction in physical and emotional pain.
  • Deeper and more restful sleep.
  • Better dream recall in the mornings.
  • More harmonious home environment.
  • Some describe it as the “ liberation of the soul”.
  • Many, report heightened awareness and acceptance of life circumstances.

Personally, I am often witness to individual transformations, restored relationships, and peaceful resolutions, and that brings me joy! 😊

“My session at So Subtle was amazing! This truly is a magical place to experience. Irina has an impeccable sense of intuition and knows exactly what note your individual body needs, and knows just where to play it near your body. I feel like I must tell people that you need to experience this for yourself. On the other hand, I also want to covet this information and save it all for myself, but it truly must be shared with as many people as possible. I promise you will never regret experiencing these sessions for yourself. They are true magic!!” Nichole H.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on the emotional rather than the physical complexity of the condition.

After just one session you might find that enough emotional charge has been lifted and the body can promptly start to recover itself.

More deep-rooted or chronic imbalances require patience, love, compassion, and the time needed for healing. Time will vary from individual to individual.

One of the biggest advantages of sound and energy is that people respond quickly to just a few sessions.

Emotional and to some degree spiritual shifts are normally felt instantly.

One should never rush the healing process!

Do you provide support in between sound and energy sessions?

We are all in different stages of health some individuals require more assistance than others. For individuals needing additional support, I offer in-person and/or over-the-phone Integration support.

I strongly recommend you get as much support as you need. If you seeing a therapist this is a very good time to utilize their professional help as well.

Do you work with kids?

Yes, if parents undergo the integration process as well.

Who are your clients?

Curious, genuine, and willing!

“This was by far one of the most amazing healing sessions I’ve had in my life. I was absolutely blown away by Irina’s knowledge, skills, and uncanny ability to get to the root of the issue with such precision. The entire experience of being at So Subtle is pure joy and feels like the ultimate self-care. But, make no mistake, even though subtle is in the name, the effects of 2 sessions were in fact deeply profound, powerful, and truly life-changing. I’m an energy healer and have been on a healing and spiritual path for over 20 years and in all that time I’ve tried many therapies, healing modalities, and practitioners. Few can come close to Irina. She is truly in a league of her own. I’ve since referred several friends to her and can report they’ve had the same experience as I did. P.S. I live in LA and now regularly make the trip to Sacramento to see Irina. Truly incredible and I am so grateful for this place and this practitioner.” Delfina A.

Are you a licensed medical specialist?

No. I am a healing arts practitioner – integration companion. My work is rooted in an instinctive process.

What is Integration Companion?

One who facilitates a healing space for someone who is going through the integration of a particularly challenging life circumstance.

What are your spiritual beliefs and how do they relate to the work you do?

I see Universal Wisdom – in Everything and Everyone! I don’t subscribe to any one religion.

Even though I never suggest my beliefs to anyone, my work always reflects these beliefs.

“Had a really great first session with Irina! Her perspective on life is beautiful and her gift profound!” Carmellee M.

Are there side effects after sound and energy sessions?

Following any particularly in-depth energy-balancing session, some may experience physical detox symptoms throughout the coming days, especially if the physical body is in poor energetic condition. This will lessen with each passing day and with each following session.

These symptoms could be avoided or significantly reduced by staying hydrated before and after the session, walking outside barefoot, moving your body-especially stretching your body, and taking a 20 -30 min Epsom salt bath or foot soak after each session.

Can sound and energy sessions conflict with the Medications I am currently on?

Your energetic field modulates with each session. Some clients report that the medications they are on becoming too strong, in some cases very early into the sound therapy.

I am not a medical professional nor licensed to advise you on your medication regulation.

Let your medical provider know you are undergoing complementary therapy and want to monitor your medications.

Hydration before and after each session – is essential!

“Irina was so knowledgeable and such a pleasure to work with. The process was informative, relaxing and expansive. My vibration was certainly elevated by the experience and seems to have cleared the way for more internal peace. I’m so grateful I found another way to work with my energy and access the healing power of my body through Irina and her masterful and loving ways.” Jen M.

How to prepare for my first session?

Hydrate your body well before and after your sessions!

Wear comfortable clothing without any zippers, buttons, or belts.

A T-shirt, yoga pants, joggers, or sweatpants are perfect for these sessions. All sessions are done entirely clothed lying down on the massage table or sitting down in the chair. You will be asked to remove your shoes, and wear or bring a pair of socks for your comfort if you like.

Go into your first sessions with an open mind —Trust your gut and don’t be afraid to sit with some discomfort, especially initially. After all, it’s a process of unveiling parts of yourself that possibly have been neglected for a very long period. And this uncovering can feel uncomfortable to some individuals, especially in the beginning.

Be sure to schedule time for yourself after your sessions. If you can, take time after your appointment to walk outside or get a cup of your favorite drink and just be. After the session, a 20-30 min Epsom salt bath will help with grounding and detox.

Journal, draw, paint, sing, dance, do a random act of kindness, be gentle with yourself, allow emotions to surface, and don’t judge yourself, regardless of how you need to process.


I am looking forward to meeting you and I am grateful to have this opportunity to be able to assist you!
