Who we are
Rooted in Ritual. Wild at Heart.
Irma is the founder of The Ethnic Gypsy and a visionary behind the emerging Ubuntu Soul Collective, inspired by the Zulu proverb:
“I am because we are.”
Her journey began in the pharmacy industry, where she first felt the pull toward healing. But life had other plans—twisting, breaking, and rebuilding her until she could no longer ignore the deeper call: to become the medicine herself.
Yoga cracked open the door. Energy work flung it wide. And art gave her the language to translate the wild, beautiful chaos of healing into something tangible. Today, she blends intuitive movement, energy alignment, earth-based rituals, and soul-crafted creativity into everything she offers, whether it's on the mat, at the canvas, or in a sacred healing session.
Her style is earthy and elevated, raw yet intentional. She believes healing is messy, magical, and deeply personal—and she holds space for you to find your rhythm, your roots, and your own ritual.
Her work honors the interconnectedness of yoga, energy medicine, ancestral wisdom, and expressive creativity. All offerings are now housed within the nurturing space of Mistyoga Studio

What is Chakra Balancing and Alignment?
Chakra balancing and alignment is the practice of clearing and harmonizing the body’s seven main energy centers. When your chakras are open and aligned, energy flows freely — supporting emotional stability, physical vitality, and spiritual clarity. Through breathwork, crystals, Reiki, and intention, balance is restored and you return to your natural state of flow.
What is Reiki and Crystal Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle form of energy healing that works by channeling universal life-force energy through the hands to restore balance and flow in the body. It helps calm the nervous system, release energetic blockages, and support the body’s natural ability to heal — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Crystal Reiki combines universal life-force energy with the natural frequencies of crystals to restore harmony and flow in the body. Each stone is placed with intention to clear blockages, balance the chakras, and raise your vibration so you leave feeling lighter, centered, and deeply renewed.
