Working with Ilona for the past 6-7 months has been so wonderful. She’s been an incredible voice of reason, challenging me when I needed it, providing me with sound ideas and perspective, always guiding me to making the best decisions for myself. With her help I’ve achieved so much, unlocked all my 2024 goals and objectives! I highly recommend her if you’re someone who believes in the powers of the Universe, but also need to be challenged through your therapy.
