This is where her work begins.

As a Melbourne-based Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Holistic Mindset Coach, she supports women in moving beyond symptom management and into a deeper understanding of their body, health, and themselves with the healing magic of acupuncture and natural medicine.

But this path is also deeply personal.

Growing up, Ilana witnessed her mother navigate a debilitating case of chronic illness. Despite ongoing treatment, her condition continued to decline — and it opened her eyes to the limitations of a conventional system that treats symptoms, but not the whole person and can create many side effects.

That experience shaped the way Ilana practices today.

With over 17 years of clinical experience and advanced training through the University of Melbourne, Endeavour College, and RMIT, my approach is grounded in both traditional wisdom, science and modern clinical understanding. She integrates acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and mindset coaching. She also offers natural facial rejuvenation for those wanting a younger, fresher face with cosmetic acupuncture, facial Gua Sha, and holistic microneedling. Along with health advice for beauty from within.

Because true healing isn’t just physical — it’s emotional, mental, and personal.

Through her work, Ilana creates a calm and supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin deep healing in your body. Femme Vital was created as an extension of this philosophy — a sanctuary for women seeking a more considered, holistic approach to their health. A place where women may walk in the door feeling at their worst, and then after their course of treatment walk out the door feeling radiant, alive and truly well.

If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again, we would love to support you.
