Live with Purpose, Resilience and Vitality
I help chronically overextended women reconnect with their true selves and live healthy, joyful, purpose-filled lives.
Open for new clients - online or in-person in Arlington, VA
“You are already what you seek - healthy, resilient...enough.”
HI, I’M ILANA
Founder of Bodhi By Design and the Embodhied Awareness Mentor
Wellness is more than skin-deep, feel-good positivity. It begins in the mind and is the synergy of thought, emotions, the body and the soul or spirit. Wellness is rooted in awareness.
Awareness is the foundation for finding deeper meaning and purpose in life. Without awareness, you are tied to habitual cycles of expectations, regrets, illness, worry, anxiety, overwhelm and feelings of inadequacy and being stuck. Awareness allows you to reconnect with your intuition and what keeps you healthy. Awareness also helps you remember your true nature and your purpose in life.
After mentoring with me, you are empowered to trust your inner wisdom and purpose, take care of your beautiful body, and properly use your mind and emotions to live with boldness and joy even in the midst of life’s challenges.

Does This Sound Familiar?
On the outside, you are:
A deep thinker, high-achieving, and accomplished
The “strong” one others rely on (i.e. the fixer, the closer, the one who gets stuff done)
“Succesful” on paper
Doing everything “right”
Spiritually curious, an “old soul” with a growing awareness that there is more meaning to this life than the daily grind
But on the inside, you feel:
Overwhelmed, unseen, unheard and/or underappreciated
Emotionally tapped out with little to give others
Anxious about troubling physical symptoms that have crept up over time
Weighed down by imposter “syndrome,” overthinking, or analysis-paralysis
Disconnected from your spiritual core that wants authentic expression
Something feels incomplete.
This dissatisfaction may come from a host of reasons. Perhaps you are going through a major life transition (divorce, grief, burnout, spiritual awakening, perimenopause or menopause, or career change).
Maybe you just want to be heard and seen in the same way that you hear and see others in your life.
You sense a shift has begun.
You are ready to let go of feeling like you have to protect yourself and what energy you have left.
Or maybe you sense that your old life no longer “fits” anymore.
You know that you are growing into something…more.
In every fiber of your being, you know you are ready for deep, lasting transformation.

Remember this truth: You are not broken.
Your amazing, intelligent body is speaking to you. It’s telling you that it’s time to:
Stop being the “strong one” who has to hold everyone else together.
Align your life, values, and boundaries into ones that support your joyful purpose.
Embody your growing spirituality in an authentic, present way that doesn’t gloss over problems.
Focus on reconnecting with YOU - mind, body and soul.
Reconnection with your authentic Self is not selfishness.
It is why you were born.
"Love will never impose its willpower upon us. It will find the path of least resistance. To get our attention, it will cause a symptom. But it will not interfere with our free will."
