Soul Sessions x Design Hotels

Legacy Lab Workshop

In The Legacy Lab workshop, I guided owners of individual Design Hotels through The Inner Architecture of Leadership — a transformative framework designed to help leaders work consciously with their mind, emotions, and nervous system.

Through simple, practical exercises, they learned how to regulate themselves in high-pressure environments, expand their leadership capacity, and strengthen emotional resilience.

This experiential approach empowered participants to move beyond reactivity, stay centered under stress, and embody a more grounded, conscious, and impactful presence as leaders.

Client Testimonials

  • Stijn Oyen - Managing Director of Design Hotels, Worldwide

    “I recently attended a workshop hosted by Ilona that Design Hotels had organized for a small group of future leaders in hospitality. Initially, I wasn’t sure how her approach and techniques would fit into leadership development, but I was pleasantly surprised by how practical and applicable the tools were.

    Although the content was designed for young talent, I found myself discovering new approaches I’ve already integrated into my own everyday leadership. Her work resonates across experience levels and encourages a more connected way of leading that I genuinely appreciate.”

  • Yamil Errasti - Founder of Everything Now, Spain

    “I had the pleasure of working with Ilona during Legacy Lab, a program we designed for the next generation of hospitality leaders within the Design Hotels community, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

    Ilona brought an exceptional human depth to the program. Her ability to connect with people on a personal level, create trust quickly, and guide meaningful conversations made a real difference for the attendees. The one-to-one sessions she led were powerful, grounding, and deeply impactful, and the feedback from participants was consistently outstanding.

    From a collaboration point of view, working with Ilona was effortless. She is thoughtful, present, and incredibly easy to align with. She understands when to lead, when to listen, and how to adapt her approach to the energy in the room. The client was extremely happy with her contribution, and it showed in how engaged and open the group became throughout the program.

    Most importantly, Ilona’s work went beyond the workshop itself. What she created stayed with people. She helped participants gain clarity, confidence, and self-awareness at a very important moment in their lives, and that’s not something you can teach from a slide.

    Any team, brand, or organization looking to bring a strong, meaningful human dimension into their work would be lucky to work with her.”

  • Eli Call - Founder of Breakthrough Energy Technologies, US

    "24 years and over $300,000 USD into my personal development and doing 1:1 Executive Hypnotherapy program with Ilona is definitely one of the top 10 most impactful sessions I’ve ever done, for my life and business. I wish I would have found this years ago. Thanks Ilona!"

Freedom that comes from inner mastery.

Meet our Founder

Ilona Čepeláková

Somatic Hypnotherapist and Transformation Specialist

Hello and welcome!

Born in Prague and shaped by 18 years abroad in London, Barcelona, Ibiza, and Bali, I bring a global perspective and over a decade of leadership experience, including serving on the Executive Committee as Director of Marketing at W Barcelona. I’ve lived the pressures of high-performance environments, navigating stress, burnout, and disconnection firsthand.

My own journey through anxiety and trauma led me to study — trauma-informed hypnotherapy and explore somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, and energy work. Through this deep personal transformation, I developed a bespoke methodology that combines science and soul, designed to create lasting change at subconscious, energetic, and embodied levels.

Over the past six years, I’ve guided hundreds of leaders, women, and men to reclaim resilience, cultivate authenticity, expand consciousness, and transform their lives, careers, and relationships. At Soul Sessions, I help people break free from stress-driven patterns, build capacity and presence, and step fully into their power—creating ripple effects across their work, connections, and wellbeing.

Where neuroscience meets soul.
