“I’ve been lucky enough to do a 1:1 program of subconscious reprogramming 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.”
