Do you constantly suffer from pains which seemingly have no cause?
Perhaps you feel constantly tired, worn-down, muddle-headed, and overwhelmed.
In many cases the issue may not be physical, but emotional.

What is chronic illness and emotional pain?

There is a clear link between mind and body. When the mind is fatigued or not thinking in a positive way, it affects the body.

If the problems the mind is experiencing aren’t dealt with promptly and in a suitable way, chronic illness and emotional pain will be the result.

Many people are amazed to discover that the physical problems which they experience are related to emotional hurt they have suffered in the past.

The link between the onset of a physical condition and some form of mental trauma, like depression and anxiety, may not be obvious — sometimes people suffer tragic circumstances that affect them gravely mentally, but not develop any physical issue until years later.

Sometimes people develop crippling physical symptoms out of the blue. They may not even be aware that they have any mental trauma to deal with.

Do you find it difficult to motivate yourself to live a healthy lifestyle?

A common issue many people face is maintaining the motivation and commitment needed to make lasting lifestyle changes.

Are you finding that a chronic condition is affecting your ability to enjoy life?

Maybe the activities that you used to enjoy just don’t seem possible any more. Most frustrating of all, for a large number of chronic illness sufferers, there doesn’t seem to be much that conventional medicine can offer.

How many times have you told yourself — “Tomorrow will be different”, promising yourself that you’ll commit to healthier eating, working out, or waking up early.

You promise yourself… only to find that…

Often emotional pain can limit the ability to change.

However when the pain is eased, energy and drive flow in!

Do you suffer from any of the following?

  • unexplained muscle or joint pain
  • stiffness
  • trouble sleeping
  • feeling tired all the time
  • brain fog
  • digestive issues (IBS, constipation etc)
  • trouble concentrating
  • anxiety and /or low mood
  • a depressed immune system
  • or any other form of chronic condition?

All too often, the link between mind and body is ignored, leaving sufferers with a chronic illness with no solution.

However, the right form of intervention that provides options for positive change, can really make all the difference.

I offer tailored therapeutic treatments for chronic conditions

After two decades of experience in hypnosis, psychotherapy and emotional wellbeing counselling,

I create customised solutions to relieve the chronic pain and illnesses you continuously suffer.

Understanding the cause behind your symptoms is a key part of effectively treating your chronic illness.

The therapies offered are designed to get to the root cause of the problem, then offer effective solutions that can yield long-lasting benefits.

By looking at the whole person, rather than simply their physical symptoms in isolation, it’s possible to put together a treatment that’s exactly right for an individual’s needs.

My chronic pain treatment can make a difference in your life.

After learning to manage chronic pain, my patients often experience:

  • Improved quality of life
  • Reduction in pain frequency
  • Reduction in pain duration
  • Reduction in pain intensity

    • Even if the pain is due to an identifiable clinical condition (such as arthritis or disc degeneration), effective pain management can improve quality of life.

    When you attend your appointment, you will receive treatment tailored for you which is geared towards easing your pain as soon as possible.

    My aim is for patients to see marked differences in their ability to manage and work with their pain within a very short time span.

    Some patients see a difference in their ability to cope after just one session!

    I offer simple techniques and strategies that give people the tools they need to move forward towards better mental and physical well-being.

    In your session, you will learn how to reduce chronic pain and how to deal with emotional pain.

    You can expect to receive:

    • Therapy that’s been tailored to deal with your specific problems
    • Techniques that are designed to effectively alleviate your pain straight away
    • Strategies that you can use over the long term to ensure any improvements are long-lasting
    • Positive input that is future oriented
    • An emphasis on time-limited, effective intervention that gives you the tools you need to self-manage your future.

Don’t suffer in silence.

Testimonials

Having struggled for years with chronic pain and debilitating tiredness, I had given up hope of ever feeling 100%. After just a few sessions with Ilona, I began to notice I had more energy and felt able to do more in a day. Although I feel it will take a while to get back to where I used to be, I am amazed at the difference in just a few short weeks
Mrs J, Canberra
Didn’t realise that talking could make such a difference! Ilona is caring and spot on with her advice and options. Wish I’d discovered her years ago
Mr M, Canberra
