About Me
Welcome, I’m Ilana
I am a curious, independent seeker of knowledge, wisdom and life experience. I am constantly taking steps to expand my relationship with myself and have spent years delving within, growing and deepening my understanding, love and acceptance of self and others.
Having spent over a decade working in adult education and facilitation in Australia and abroad, I have spent much time cultivating relationships with people from diverse cultural, linguistic and socio-economic groups.
Through this work, I noticed areas of the human experience that extend beyond one’s background.
All people have scars. We have all been hurt. We all want connection; to belong to community, to know that we are loved for who we are, to experience joy and kindness.
Determined to share this knowledge and to be better equipped to travel alongside people wanting to work on creating a more peaceful, joyful and fulfilling life, I qualified as a psychotherapist.
A humanist, environmentalist and empath, I am drawn to all things authentic. I am devoted to, and passionate about making the world a better place to live. I surround myself with like-minded, optimistic and inspiring people and am committed to setting an example of how to live a mindful, considerate and meaningful life for those in my orbit.
I am accredited in Australia with PACFA.
