Hi, I’m Ilana.
Courageous Heart Mentor • Certified Fearless Living Coach • Ceremony Officiant •
Big-hearted space holder for women in the midst of change.
You’ve been holding everything together — for your family, your community, your clients — but somewhere along the way, you lost pieces of yourself.
I know that ache because I’ve lived it.
I’m a mom, a caregiver, and a woman who has walked through life’s unexpected chapters — including raising a childhood cancer survivor, relocating across the country (several times), and navigating the moments where it felt like everything was too much.
I’ve felt the overwhelm, the quiet grief, and the weight of always being the strong one.
And I’ve learned that strength doesn’t have to mean doing it alone.
What I Believe
✨ You don’t need to do more — you just need space to be
✨ You are not too much, and it is not too late
✨ Your voice, your boundaries, and your spark matter
✨ The world needs your light — especially now more than ever
What I Do
I help big-hearted women over 40 who are feeling burned out, stuck, or unsure of what’s next find their footing again.
Whether you’re navigating a reinvention, facing a life change, or just feeling the quiet ache of I can’t keep doing it like this — you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Through my Choose Your Path™ mentoring experience, ceremony services, and digital support tools, I offer a safe space to breathe, reset, and come back home to yourself.
This isn’t hustle culture. This is heart work.
Grounded support. Gentle momentum. Real transformation.
A Few Fun Facts
✨ I’ve been married for over 20 years
✨ I am huge a musical theater and will often breakout in song or dance at home (
✨ I believe sparkle is a mood, not just a design choice
✨ I’m based in Sacramento, CA, and work with women everywhere
….and so much more!
I want you to know...
I want you to know...
I want you to know you have an advocate, cheerleader, and tough love when warranted, and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are supported. To have someone to help you draw out the amazing-ness, strength, and wisdom ALREADY within you and to encourage you to look at the world through a different perspective. Not necessarily rose-colored glasses (pick whatever color you want), yet making the conscious choice to look at a situation through the lens of gratitude, and abundance and finding the gifts, even in the most challenging situations (or “shit-situations” as my daughter called it when she was going through cancer treatment). Finding the fricking rainbows after the storm (or even in the middle of it).
There is a certain kind of magic that happens when you choose to see the world through a lens of abundance and possibilities….that it is FOR you, not against you. Kind of like having your magic fairy wand that you can wave around (I have a silly light-up one in my office, yet I digress). It isn’t a magical fix, but instead a series of choices, each moment, each day, and so on. You get to choose and I get the privilege of helping you unlock the magic already inside you. Cue the fairy dust and fairy godmother vibes but with a little more snark, sass, and effort on both of our parts.
Let’s rediscover your inner child or teenager…you know the one with all of the dreams and hopes whose voice may have been drowned out by life’s shoulds and overwhelm piling on, and amplify that inner voice so you can learn more on what is really true for you, not the weight of other people’s expectations. You are worth it.
I’ll cheer you on, celebrate your wins with you–no matter the size-, love you up, hold space for you to laugh, cry, vent, and share tools with you to create lasting change. I will also call you out when you are “shoulding” all over yourself, believe in you even when you don’t believe in yourself, and support you in taking steps towards the life you have dreamed about.
Xoxo,
Ilana
