She is passionate about helping her clients feel balanced, confident, and empowered in their health.

Kind Words from Our Clients

“I have been attending Femme Vital with Ilana for the past 12 months and thought it time to share my experiences with other potential clients. I have found Ilana to be an extremely pleasant, professional person who is always a great listener, empathetic when required and an excellent communicator. Apart from these very personable traits she has achieved excellent results for me treating arthritis, thinning hair and rosacea. She has used Acupuncture, Gua Sha, Tissue Salts and particular Herbs she prescribes and prepares for me to treat my ailments at home between visits. After my treatment with Ilana I always leave in a very calm and relaxed state. Thank you so much Ilana.”

Sandy L.

“Ilana is always on point with what my body is going through and the remedy it needs to restore its balance, vitality and harmony. I have received Chinese herbs, acupuncture and cosmetic acupuncture and I have felt improvements in under two weeks. Her understanding of women's health, natural health and healing and alternative ways to bring balance back to a busy working woman has been essential to allow me to do all of the things that I need to do in my day, stay on track and look after myself. There is no greater self-care routine that a session with Ilana.”

Alana

“This is long over due … years and years. Meeting Ilana has been truly a transformative experience. Her intuitive nature creates an atmosphere of quiet relaxation and understanding, making her sessions a treat for the soul. Whether it's meditation, heartfelt discussions, Gua Sha or acupuncture, Ilana knows exactly what's needed. I'll always be grateful for her role in my journey. I recall one year feeling lethargic months after having the flu and after just one session, I bounced back to my energetic self. Ilana isn't just a healer; she's a goddess and has become an essential part of my entourage. Grateful for your feminine presence Ilana and all that you do for our community.”
