FROM WOUND TO WISDOM &
FROM PAIN TO PURPOSE...
The Age of Alchemy is a Sanctuary for Transformation.
A place where psychotherapy meets the sacred.
Where science and soul co-exist.
Here, we honour your healing as a layered, evolving process...
grounded in evidence-based practice and infused with compassion, curiosity, and holistic, spiritually integrated wisdom.
WELCOME
Just by being here, you're taking a brave and vital step...
toward prioritizing your well-being.
I want to celebrate that.
I want to celebrate YOU for taking this step.
WHAT IS ALCHEMY?
The inner process of transforming emotional pain, unconscious patterns and shadows into self-awareness, wholeness and soul integration.
At The Age of Alchemy, we draw inspiration from the ancient practice of inner transformation. Not to mystify healing, but to reflect its depth. Alchemy was never just about turning lead into gold. It was a metaphor for turning pain into purpose, fragmentation into wholeness.
In therapy, we do the same.
Through reflection, presence, and the right support, what once felt heavy or stuck can begin to shift. Insight becomes a catalyst. The self, once hidden, becomes known. And slowly, gently, something new emerges.
This is the work of healing.
THIS IS THE ALCHEMY.
HI, I'M ILONA
Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, grief, relationship challenges or simply seeking deeper self-understanding, you deserve support that feels safe, respectful, attuned and personalized.
I offer holistic, spiritually integrated psychotherapy that is grounded in evidence-based principles, while also making room for tools that enhance meaning centered and spiritually integrated exploration when supported. So while I always use a solution focused, relational, humanistic and psychodynamics lens, I also like to bring in depth oriented, somatics, mindfulness techniques and reflective frameworks like the Enneagram, dream exploration and archetypes. These additional elements are never diagnostic or prescriptive, but offered as invitations into deeper self-understanding, insight and personal meaning.
You’re not alone. I’m here to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and alignment in your life.
MY WORK IS GUIDED BY...

Healing That is Intentional, Relational & Rooted
Alchemy takes time.
So does healing & becoming.
Subscribe for Moments of Meaning, Embodied Insight, and Sacred Reminders meant to meet you in the in-between.
LET'S BE HONEST...
healing isn't easy.
It’s not a straight line - it’s messy, emotional, challenging, and deeply human.
This may even be your first time considering therapy.
Or you may feel frustrated or ashamed that you're revisiting the same wound again.
You might worry you're going backwards; but often you're not regressing... you're actually going deeper.
And you don’t have to do it alone.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I believe in creating a space where you feel:
-
Safe and emotionally supported
-
Seen and respected in your full experience
-
Gently guided, not rushed or fixed
Together, we work to understand how your experiences have shaped you — emotionally, relationally, and somatically — and to explore new ways of moving through life’s challenges, both big and small.
With support, self-exploration can lead to a life that feels:
-
More authentic and aligned
-
Calmer and more grounded in your body
-
Less controlled by old emotional patterns
-
Rooted in meaning rather than survival
You’re not alone.
You don’t have to figure this out by yourself.
I’m here to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and alignment in your life.
- Ilona
