Hi, I am Irma Battig – The Emotional Wealth Coach
Thank you for inquiring about me and my services! I hope you take the time to explore my website to find out how I can best assist you with your specific needs. Allow me to tell you a bit more about myself on this page.
In 25 years of working as an independent Transformational Coach and Healer with my own practice, I have created a unique coaching and healing style. To best assist you, I blend diverse approaches according to my intuitive insights and incorporate ancient Shamanic rituals along with cutting-edge techniques that I have assimilated over the years and shaped into an art form.
I began the journey of helping others through coaching and healing professionally in 1999. My continuous studies and training in a multitude of healing and coaching modalities, as well as my particular life path, paired with 25 years of experience working with clients from Iceland to Australia, allow me to help you address and overcome physical, emotional, mental and spiritual challenges. Having lived, studied and practiced my art on four continents, I am familiar with diverse mentalities, religions and backgrounds. My broad interests and professional credentials in communications, teaching and five crucial years in the top management of an international corporation facilitate true understanding of the problems my clients face. Sensitive and empathic, I can relate to a wide variety of life situations.
Along with travelling the world, I have also journeyed multi-dimensionally, across space and time, and in the subconscious and the supraconscious mind. My own metaphysical experiences enable me to facilitate my clients’ deep-dive into other dimensions and timelines when they are ready for such adventures!
What’s Important To Me
I consider myself a multicultural free spirit, light worker, co-creator, coach, healer, teacher and multidimensional traveller. Freedom, paired with personal responsibility, beauty and truth are essential values of mine. Together with my husband, we care for rescued cats and dogs on our organic farm. As a steward of my relationships and the places I inhabit, I endeavour to impact them positively with my presence and activities. I aim to help the people I work with become their best and true Self. Over the course of my life, in the various parts of the world I have inhabited, I have invested myself into creating beautiful living spaces, designing and building them, or improving on existing ones, making them more harmonious and wholesome.
My overarching purpose is to help increase the vibration on earth and to positively contribute to the planetary shift we are experiencing.
Walking the talk: Connection to nature is essential for a balanced, wholesome life. Together with 17 rescued dogs and 3 cats, Irma and her husband live on an organic farm and animal sanctuary in a rural area of Maharashtra. They designed and built a certified green home and grow their own organic produce.
“I will guide you to a more authentic life in alignment with your values and your life purpose.

A Life Path in Alignment with these Transformational Times
In a rapidly shifting world that puts pressure on all of us to undergo an evolutionary leap, I assist my clients in their personal transformative journey into a higher state of consciousness.
Often, we look in the wrong places for what we truly desire. We mistake material possessions, fame and success for a path to happiness, only to find out we were misled. Happiness is an inside job. It requires letting go of what is in the way of peace of mind and equanimity and separating the essential from the superfluous. It means living our truth. Avoiding unnecessary detours, I help my clients focus on the price, that which their heart and soul truly yearn for. To describe this in a nutshell, I coined the term “emotional wealth”.
A higher state of awareness is also one that is closer to the ultimate reality. To me, spirituality means light, life, love, wholeness, freedom, authenticity and truth. The path to an expanded awareness is the quest for the Truth, the Truth vibration being the highest frequency we can reach on this plane. Thus, reaching a state of emotional wealth is a spiritual endeavour.
The Only Constant is Change
Life has taught me that the only constant is change, and that to resist change causes suffering. I have learned to adapt to various circumstances and cultures from childhood. Born on a small farm in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, my family moved to a much larger farm in Quebec, Canada when I was 13. After graduating in Communication Studies from a bilingual university (English and French), I returned to Switzerland for work. I landed on my own two feet and built a new life for myself in Zurich, away from relatives and former friends. My 20ies were about exploration and expansion: through various jobs in advertising, PR, television and corporate communications, and, as importantly, travel and relationships.
At 33, I felt the urge to leave my successful corporate career as Communications Officers in a major international corporation to embark on a more spiritual path. I had gifts that I hadn’t explored yet. Synchronicity became part of my life as it presented me with the perfect teachers at the right time. I crossed paths with one of the giants of craniosacral therapy, Hugh Milne, in a tiny post office in Big Sur, at the end of a one-month exploration of spiritual hotspots in the US. On my return to Switzerland, I started studying with him. Soon, I was applying my new knowledge in the field of body and energy work, relieving friends and colleagues from their various ailments.
When I had a vision of moving to the US to continue my studies with masters in the healing arts, I was unsettled. Besides building my healing practice, I was the Project Manager of a nationwide equality of opportunity program and a teacher of Communications and Culture at a business school. To again leave everything I had built behind, including precious friendships? But rather than planning my life according to logic, I had been trusting my intuition for a while now. I packed two suitcases and took a leap of faith.
Going through the Ego-Shredder, a Divorce and a Financial Crash
Immigrating to the US one week before 9/11 threw me for an unexpected loop and sent me through the ego-shredder. I sank from the level of a top manager, one of the few women in this arena, to that of an anonymous alien waiting to get a social security number – a new “identity”! – from an immigration system in total disarray. It was a seemingly never-ending nightmare that began in Chicago, where I moved to study with a dear friend and gifted healer, Don Massat. I completed his Sacred Journey certification program – a more metaphysical approach to craniosacral therapy – and helped him set up the Sacred Journey Institute, at which I later also taught craniosacral therapy. After also having completed Hugh Milne’s Visionary Craniosacral Therapy certification program, I moved to the West Coast and opened my own practice In the San Francisco Bay Area, the Mecca of bodywork. I had to prove myself from the get-go in a pool with some of the best body and energy workers in the world. Necessity is the mother of courage!
Ten years, the financially devastating crash of 2007, a divorce and two relationships later, I packed my bags again. This time with my new partner. We both felt it was time to leave the US. We moved to Costa Rica and immersed ourselves in the rainforest where the haunting call of the howler monkeys would wake us up at 5 in the morning. Every morning! Though the high frequency of that pristine environment contributed to astonishing results with clients who I often only saw once, since they were traveling through, I realised that running a hotel was not my idea of fun… But this exotic interlude prepared me for our next major hop: my now husband’s home country – “Incredible India!”
Hoping for a soft landing, we pitched our metaphorical tent in a sultry beach town in Goa for a year. Following the advice of an intuitive friend, we grabbed our courage with both hands, stuffed our few belongings into the car and headed north. We engulfed ourselves in the sensory overload of Mumbai. It seems that it was meant to be. My healing practice took off in this megacity, where I also began teaching the 5 Tibetan Rites along with my own seminars.
After a few years in this chaotic environment, we heard the call of the mountains. This time, a moving truck packed to the hilt followed us to the breath-taking Himalayan foothills. We spent a glorious year exploring the region of Mussoorie, the awe-inspiring vistas dazzling us at every turn. Because of my husband’s new business venture – the construction of eco-homes – we returned to Mumbai a year later. We sweetened the transition by designing and constructing our own ecological abode amid an organic orchard in a rural area.
During the lockdowns, we permanently moved to our self-created oasis, where we are enjoying a peaceful, secluded life with our animals among the hills and the greenery. The pristine environment allows me to remain grounded despite the tumultuous upheavals currently shaking the world. I am thus able to better contribute to a positive outcome in my own humble way.
After having had to rebuild my practice multiple times in different parts of the world, I now focus on working with my clients exclusively remotely. This way, you can avail of my services from the comfort of your home, regardless of where I happen to be, and without the risk of traffic jams. Remote healings and online coaching also have the advantage of bringing about results faster, hence you end up spending less for my services. – I am looking forward to meeting you in the ether!
