I’m Ilona, and I Believe Your Path to Alignment Starts Here

I know what it feels like to sense that there’s more to life—but not know how to reach it. For years, I felt like I was swimming against the current, trying to fit into boxes that didn’t align with who I really was.  

It wasn’t that I wasn’t trying. I followed the advice, did the inner work, checked the boxes. But no matter how hard I pushed, something always felt… off.  

Then I discovered Human Design.  

For the first time, it all made sense. The struggles I’d faced weren’t failures—they were simply signals that I was living in a way that wasn’t designed for *me*. Human Design didn’t just give me clarity; it gave me permission to trust myself again.

My Journey

Originally from the stunning mountains of Zakopane, Poland, my life has been anything but ordinary. From studying Cultural Anthropology to capturing the world through a photographer’s lens, I’ve always been drawn to the stories that shape us and the energy that connects us.

When I moved to Southern California, my curiosity for inner transformation deepened. I became a yoga instructor, dived into energy work, and eventually found Human Design—a system that brought everything into focus. Since 2018, I’ve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of individuals, like you, on their journeys to alignment and self-trust.

What Makes My Work Unique

As a 5/1 Sacral Manifesting Generator, I’m wired to solve challenges and connect the dots between your potential and your reality. My approach combines practical strategies with intuitive guidance, creating a space where you feel deeply seen, understood, and empowered to step into your own truth.

The Work I Do

I specialize in helping people like you navigate life’s biggest questions—Who am I? What’s my purpose? How can I make choices I can trust? Through personalized Human Design readings, workshops, and ongoing coaching, I’ll guide you toward answers that feel right in your body and aligned with your unique design.

Nothing lights me up more than seeing someone step into their power, not because they were told what to do, but because they finally *remembered* who they are. I believe that when you live in alignment with your design, everything changes: your relationships, your work, your confidence, your peace.  

It’s not about fixing yourself—it’s about rediscovering the beautiful, whole person you’ve always been.

Fun Facts About Me

– I’m a proud mom to a 4/6 Self-Projected Projector, born on my birthday. She’s taught me more about living authentically than I ever imagined.  

– When I’m not diving into Human Design charts, I’m most likely making a DIY almond milk matcha latte, digging my toes in the sand or going on local adventures with my daughter and two pups.  

– My work has been featured in the myHumanDesign app, HumanDesign Instagram, allure magazine, Almost30 Podcast Members Portal, and Heimat Fitness Club (In-Person speaking even on “Working Out For Your Energy Type”).

– And I’ve trained with some of the top names in the field like Ra Uru Hu (the founder of Human Design) & Jenna Zoe.

Are you ready to step into your design and live a life that truly feels like yours? I’d be honored to guide you on this journey. Let’s connect.
