About Facilitator

My name is Yulia Ilchyk. I am a Ukraine-born Family Constellations facilitator and Somatic Release practitioner, currently based in Maryland, USA.

I first encountered Family and Systemic Constellations as a client in 2011. The deep healing and life-changing impact I experienced - and witnessed in others - sparked my desire to learn more. I felt called to study this approach in depth and become a facilitator myself.

After graduating from the Hellinger Institute of DC in 2016, I opened my own practice. Since then, I’ve continued to deepen my knowledge and refine my skills through advanced trainings and regular supervision. I am a member of both the International Systemic Constellations Association (ISCA) and the Ukrainian Association of Systemic Constellations (УАСР), and a speaker at international conferences.

My work brings together systemic principles and body-oriented practices to create a space for deep and lasting transformation. I believe healing begins when we allow ourselves to see and be seen. I would be honored to walk alongside you on this path of healing, discovery, and integration.

Since 2016, I’ve been offering:

• in-person Family Constellation workshops in Arlington, VA (Washington, DC area) 
• online individual Family and Systemic Constellations  
• online Holistic Counseling sessions for ongoing emotional and relational support 
• on-line Somatic Release - a body centered method of work to release stress and trauma (developed on the basis of Somatic Experiencing® approach by Peter Levine)

Sessions are available in English, Ukrainian, and Russian.
