what my clients say
"It's been over 3 months since your help in healing my 22 year relationship which seemed to have run its course. First among the grievances was sexual dissatisfaction. These complaints burst in with the acknowledgement that we had the most amazing relationship, we had exactly what we wanted, so why was there such a blatant contradiction?
Your input was calm and soothing from the outset. Your response was gentle and non-judgmental, you were not surprised, not concerned, you understood what was happening. You intimated that the old paradigm was gone and that we were not to attempt to revive it. You also saw us as immature, which made us laugh given that I am in my seventies and Anh in her sixties. Only later we understood you were coaxing us to be immature. Your exercises involved respecting boundaries but also exploring physical communication like the play of small children. I can tell you, that fear was significantly lowered when it was clear that we were to relinquish all expectations of performance and simply have fun. Laughter, love and gratitude were not far behind. It was truly a new and happy experience. And you were our joyful reference.
At present our sexual conversation is still ongoing. What became clear is that whenever fear appears in the area of sex it is time to start communicating. Sex for us is no longer an end but a means of sharing our love. Thank you Ilana for your contribution to our lives, we are immensely grateful."
-William W and Anh N, Canada
"5 years after my divorce and not being in a relationship at this moment , Ilana supported me to claim my power of aloneness . It all started with a simple, profound question: “What is turning you on these days?” Now when someone asks me my relationship status, I am proud to express, “I am not attracted to any men right now and I am finding creative ways to full aliveness on my own. I’m grateful for this special time to stand very powerfully on my own with a newly found full freedom of choice." I’m grateful for Ilana who empowered me to see and be absolutely content and in acceptance of who I am at this moment."
-Michelle L, Malaysia
"My experience with Ilana is helping me to use empowering words when expressing my thoughts. Choosing empowering words even when times are chaotic or challenging is changing the way I express myself and my expectations. What is most important to me? What do I want and-or what is my boundary? Life with love and passion is a work in progress, a constant forward motion. My beloved is sacred to me; our verbal and sexual interactions benefit from this awareness.
Ilana is very present while talking on the phone, virtual video, and if in person all the better!!! She is such a powerful presence, she is soothing to the soul, gentle when needed then will give you an AHA moment that came out of nowhere. She directly questions statements with compassion and humor. Ilana lives with empathic awareness always open to life, love and lessons. She is an amazing human being."
-Debbie E, USA
"Ilana’s contribution has been instrumental to my process of seeking aliveness in everything I do. Her coaching at a distance while my partner of 20 years and I went through a huge relationship transition was invaluable.
I was dealing with a lot of emotional chaos and she provided elegant and gentle re-framings that were exactly what I needed. Even through the medium of video call sessions, her energy comes through. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is ready to open themselves to their own desires."
