Hi, I’m Ilana.
Courageous Heart Mentor • Certified Fearless Living Coach • Ceremony Officiant • Spark Reclaimer for Women in the Middle of it All
You’ve been the glue, the rock, the one everyone leans on — and somewhere in the swirl of showing up for everyone else, pieces of you started to fade.
I know that ache. I’ve lived it.
I’m a mom, a caregiver, and a woman who’s walked through fire — from raising a childhood cancer survivor to navigating cross-country moves, caregiving burnout, and the tender moments when everything felt like too much.
I’ve known the quiet grief of losing yourself in the doing.
The weight of being the strong one.
The fear that maybe your spark won’t come back.
And here’s what I’ve learned:
Real strength doesn’t mean doing it alone.
It means letting yourself be — messy, magical, in-between — and choosing to rise anyway.
What I Believe
✨ You don’t need to do more — you need space to breathe and be
✨ You are not too much, and you haven’t missed your moment
✨ Your truth, your boundaries, and your magic matter
✨ You don’t need to earn rest, joy, or a second chance
✨ The world doesn’t need a shinier version of you — it needs you, right now, as you are
✨ Sparkly soul truth: You can be falling apart and rising at the same time — and still be powerful as hell
What I Do
I help big-hearted women over 40 — the ones who’ve been carrying it all and quietly wondering, “When is it my turn?” — reclaim space for themselves.
If you’re navigating a life shift, facing burnout, or just feeling that deep-down “this isn’t working anymore” ache… you’re not alone.
Whether it’s through personalized mentoring, immersive workshops, soulful ceremony, or spark-sized digital tools — I offer grounded, heart-centered support to help you reset, realign, and rise.
This isn’t about pushing harder or fixing yourself.
This is about coming home to who you really are —
✨ rooted in truth
✨ powered by love
✨ and guided by my S.P.A.R.K.™ method: a gentle, powerful approach to help you quiet the noise and reconnect with your spark.
No pressure. No pretending. Just real support for your next right step.
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 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
