The most important for me was that Ilona has created a sense of safety and trust. It released a lot of pressure and allowed me to relax. Ilona quickly adapted to my request, choosing the right words and the right questions.

Despite the heightened emotions related to my request, she led the session within a framework, but also gave me time to think and pause. Her questions helped me to dive deeper into my thoughts without losing the thread of my inquiry.

The most valuable thing for me was to identify and put into words what it is that I want. Before the session I had a general anxiety and after the session I realized what this anxiety is about.

I highly recommend Ilona as a life and career coach.

I was lost and had no idea what I was doing or why I was doing it. I internally felt the desperate need for a change in my life. I wanted to know in which direction to go, how to start and how to narrow the possible routes to not repeat the cycle. These were my internal questions and I needed to find the right answers. I needed a person, a life coach, to talk to, who could help me and listen to me without judgment.

Ilona has a gift for active listening. She was able to tap into my inner thoughts and formulate the root of my anxiety and help me to figure out how to deal with it. We identified my core values and focused on what was important to make changes happen.
She is trustworthy, encouraging, and patient.

I would recommend working with Ilona, especially if you are at a transitional point in your life.

Ilona helped me to understand more clearly who I am and why I do what I do. She was my guide on a self-discovery journey and realization of who I truly am. She helped me to go deep inside my soul, from my head to my heart, from conscious to deep down into unconscious. As a result, I started doing things which I’ve procrastinated on for YEARS.

At the time when I started working with Ilona, I got completely stuck in everyday problems. I was living according to other people’s needs and wants. I was trying to earn love, not to receive it as it is. Those were hard times for me.

Ilona helped me to discover those parts of my personality that I’ve closed a long time ago from myself and others. I’ve learned how to accept myself as I am. I’ve got in touch with my authentic self. I became more confident at work and my earnings increased.

I have been working with Ilona for more than 6 months and I am more confident and peaceful after every coaching session. I accept my feelings and process problems easier too. I feel like there is still a lot to discover about myself, but I am not afraid to go through this journey with Ilona.

I noticed how people are usually reluctant to give feedback to something they enjoyed and how eager they share bad experiences. I guess I am one of them, except for when I am really amazed by something. And I am amazed and very grateful for all that help and support that Ilona gave me when I was going through some tough episodes and depression.

I must say that she is natural in what she does, and above that her qualification is really reassuring (basically my choice was made under impression from her projects). I was scared to trust her at first, as I felt weird as if I was naked. But very shortly I felt that she wanted nothing but to make me feel safe and good about myself. And well – she did.

I mean I was afraid our sessions would be like in the movies where a client/patient shares something and a psychologist/doctor just nods and continues browsing through the shopping catalogs. It was my first time (and hopefully last) so I had many fears.

But Ilona was the most empathetic and kind. You can tell that she really wants to help and, most importantly, that she feels a great love for each and all and will go beyond if that is needed. Thank you, dear, for your light!! It meant more to me than you can imagine.

I wish all the people never forget how strong and beautiful they are, and if they do forget, I don’t know anyone better than Ilona to remind them, remind them very gently and make sure that this knowledge will stay and not get lost again.

I had a wonderful breakthrough session with Ilona. She was so easy to connect with and to talk to. She was very helpful in guiding me to identify and change some of my beliefs that have been holding me back. I now have a clear plan of how to handle those nagging insecurities! Thank you Ilona!

Ilona is indeed a very caring coach. I felt this deep acceptance while I was sharing stories that are difficult to share with the most people. She allowed me to dig into the roots of the problem to gain the most clarity. I would definitely recommend Ilona.

In one session, we looked at the issue of exhaustion. I can’t say that everything is already perfect because any changes take time. But we got to the bottom of my “leave me alone, I don’t want to do anything” exhaustion and why I can’t notice it sooner. Thanks to the breakthrough session, I’ve realized that I hear my body and its signs of exhaustion, but I don’t allow myself to rest until I pass out.

Now, when I hear these signs, I try to slow down and give myself a rest earlier. The result of several weeks of paying attention to how I feel is an earlier bedtime, good sleep, a rested feeling after sleep and, as I wanted, a small increase in productivity. There is still a lot of work to be done, but thanks to just one session, I realized my problem and became more sensitive to the signs of my body. For which I want to say a huge thanks to Ilona.

Ilona promptly and very carefully returned me to my request when I wanted to tell about everything that seemed important to me, but, in fact, I went into a completely different area, moving away from the request. Thanks to this, in one session, it was possible to determine why I get very tired and how such moments can be tracked and what to do.
