About Ilona

 

Hello,

I’m Ilona — a trauma-informed Transformational Hypnotherapist, Somatic Therapist, Life Force Activation Facilitator and founder of Soul Sessions.

I was born in Prague, but my path took me far beyond — across London, Barcelona, Ibiza, and Bali — in search of truth, freedom, and healing.

My story began with pain. When I was one year old, my father left, and I grew up feeling abandoned, unsafe, and unseen. The lack of stability and love shaped my nervous system to live in survival mode — constantly alert, anxious, and striving to be “enough.” Like many high-achievers and leaders, I learned to perform, to push, to excel — all while feeling deeply disconnected inside.

After decades of talk therapy and cognitive approaches that brought little relief, I turned inward — exploring the subconscious mind, the body, and the energy that runs through both. My journey led me to trauma-informed Hypnotherapy, Somatic Therapy, Nervous System Regulation, and Kundalini Activation — modalities that helped me release repressed emotions, rewire limiting beliefs, and finally feel safe in my own body.

Through this deep personal transformation, I not only healed chronic anxiety and trauma but found my purpose: to help others do the same.

Today, I combine science and spirituality into a bespoke methodology that facilitates transformation on the subconscious, energetic, and embodied levels. Over the past six years, I’ve guided hundreds of leaders, women, and men to break free from fear-driven patterns, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with their authentic power — transforming not only their wellbeing, but also their relationships, performance, and leadership.

Before dedicating myself to this work, I spent over a decade in corporate leadership — including serving on the Executive Committee as Director of Marketing at W Barcelona. I know firsthand the cost of stress, burnout, and disconnection — and what it takes to reclaim balance, creativity, and fulfillment.

My mission now is to bridge inner transformation with outer success — to help people lead, love, and live from a place of alignment, confidence, and truth.

Whether you’re a CEO optimizing human potential, a leader cultivating emotional intelligence and authentic influence, or a woman ready to reclaim her feminine power — this work will meet you where you are, and take you deeper than you’ve ever gone.

With love,
Ilona

“I’ve been lucky enough to do a program of hypnotherapy sessions with Ilona and all of them have been incredibly powerful.

I could really feel her warmth and support as she guided me into my subconscious memories. It truly amazed me to discover the root causes we went to during these sessions, as she gently encouraged me through each moment with love, kindness and when needed a little push!

These memories unraveled and revealed huge energetic blocks of emotion in my body which had been suppressed. I now realize I had been unconsciously holding this heavy energy for many many years!

I physically felt the strength of these emotional releases during the sessions but at all times felt very safe in the way Ilona supported me through them. The  result - an incredible feeling of lightness within me and a much stronger connection to myself and my own power.

Hypnotherapy has been life changing in such a beautiful and positive way.”
