Irina Popa-Erwin
Irina Popa-Erwin was born on March 19, 1981, in Oradea, Romania, Central Europe, as Irina-Ana Popa. Growing up she was always struggling with her health, but that didn't stop her to become a professional multi-medalist gymnast (mid 80's to high 90's), competing at the national and international gymnastics meets under top coaches in the world. Irina was not talented in gymnastics, but she had a will of steel to be the best at anything she did. By working twice as much as anyone else in the gym, she was able to become one of the top multi-medalist professional gymnasts in Europe. Thirteen years later, 9 Gold Medals, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze, at just 21 years old, Irina had to take the hardest decision of her life and retire from gymnastics due to health conditions and injuries.
After gymnastics, Irina felt lost and went to college where she conquered a BA Degree in Literature and Psychology, trying to make sense of her cheerless life. In 2004, Irina founded her first business, an International Recruiting & Consulting Company, where she used all her gymnastics knowledge to help over 1,800 people to improve their personal and professional skills, careers and change their lives for the better. Helping people gave her the positive energy she was looking for and a new life, filling that hole created when she retired from gymnastics. In the same year, Irina met Jim Rohn in Philadelphia, a world renowned Life and Business Philosopher, and Motivational Speaker.
After years of working with Jim Rohn, and learning the "happy life's secrets", she changed her life and business philosophies and discovered what she really wants to do the rest of her life: help people - And that's how she founded The NYC Life Coach. With Irina's unique background, filled with some of the most renowned coaches in the world, and her experience as a successful entrepreneur on two continents, it wasn't surprising that ten years later Irina Popa-Erwin became one of the most sought after and most influential leaders in the life-coaching industry. Her life, career, and executive coaching clients range from the average person to top achievers and a select group of clients in New York, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Miami, London, Paris, Milan, Rome, Barcelona, and many other cities around the world.
Irina Popa-Erwin is a renowned life coach based in New York and Los Angeles who has dedicated her life to helping others. As a former professional multi-medalist gymnast in her home country of Romania, she was pushed from an early age to excel, to focus and become the best she can be. As an adult, faced with the loss of a husband to be and their unborn child as well as a 72-hour coma that nearly killed her, she awoke realizing that her life's work was to help people.
Irina has built herself up from nothing and now she's coaching top names in finance, real estate, lifestyle, entertainment and arts. Her soulful yet direct interactions resonate with her clients, as she walks the walk, talks the talk and understands first-hand how hard it is to succeed, meaning being happy and fulfilled. She has truly helped so many people and believes whole-heartedly in what she teaches; that with true confidence and gratitude anything is possible.
Irina has been featured in such interviews as Bronxnet, Fox and CBS, The Insider, NY Times, and boasts a worldwide client list that continues to grow. Today, Irina Popa-Erwin is an accomplished life, career, and executive coach, inspiring and making a positive impact in people's life, every single day.
