About
Ilona Yukov founded Holistic Wellness NY, a private practice whose aim is to help people achieve their health and wellness goals. She has over 18 years of experience working with clients with various conditions. She can help address your issues due to her unique background.
Ilona became interested in the field of wellness and nutrition while working with adults at Staten Island Hospital in the rehabilitation unit as an Occupational Therapist, when she, herself, suffered from food sensitivities, widespread pain, sinus problems and lack of energy. She was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia and doctors told her there was nothing they could do for her at the time. She started researching the benefits of nutrition and healthy living, and received her training in holistic nutrition and wellness at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. She became certified and accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP). Once she started applying what she had learned and incorporating healthy habits into her life, she started feeling differently. Ilona had more energy, was sick less often, felt less pain in her body and began feeling like she was leading a more productive life. She went on to study various mind/body techniques such as mindfulness, Reiki, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), breathwork and guided imagery. She also became certified as an Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner, graduating from the International Center for Positive Change & Hypnosis in New York City and further received training in Hypnosis by the renowned Hypnotist, Melissa Tiers, at The Center for Integrative Hypnosis. Her experience as an Occupational Therapist allows her to empathize with people of diverse backgrounds, ages and health conditions. In 2008, Ilona published an article on how food can effect the behavior of children with special needs (read here). Presently, she is working in an elementary school with children with disabilities as an Occupational Therapist and provides wellness services for adults in her private practice. Her personal mission is to empower, guide and support you in turning your desires into reality and attain inner peace, happiness and an overall state of well-being. She looks forward to sharing her knowledge with you.
