Iliana is a creative arts therapist, yoga teacher and reiki practitioner known for her poetic, sensuous and uplifting style. Her unique method weaves meditation, somatic movement, breathwork, energetic awareness and creative expression. Drawing from her acting background, which enhances her dynamic and expressive presence, and extensive therapeutic studies, she creates an inclusive space for participants to experience embodiment, expansion and ease.
Iliana has supported diverse populations in Melbourne and New York City with her multimodal approach, across settings such as theatres, yoga studios, corporate workplaces, private clubs, reform and rehabilitation systems, residential care, social service organisations and clinical practices. Most recently, her dedication to creativity and healing led her to design and deliver a therapeutic art program for at-risk youth recovering from significant trauma, an impactful initiative for which she was nominated for the Victorian Minister's Award for Excellence in Protecting Children.
Iliana's greatest joy is to share how it feels to live in presence, in unique, playful and meaningful ways.
