About Facilitator

My name is Yulia Ilchyk. I am a Ukraine born family constellation facilitator and somatic release practitioner residing in Maryland, USA. In 2011 I first discovered systemic and family constellations as a client. Experiencing the healing effect and positive changes they brought into my life, and seeing similar results for others, inspired me to dive deeper. I decided to study family constellations therapy to become a facilitator. 

After graduating from the Hellinger Institute of DC in 2016, I launched my own practice. I am always eager to enhance my education and experience to better help those seeking positive transformations. Also, I am a member of the International Systemic Constellations Association (ISCA) and Ukrainian Association of Systemic Constellations (УАСР), undergoing regular supervision for professional development and support. Please scroll down to see my credentials below.

My approach weaves together systemic principles and body-oriented practices to create a space for deep transformation. I believe healing begins when we allow ourselves to see and be seen, and I would be honored to share this journey with you.

Since 2016 I have been offering online holistic counseling sessions, individual family constellations, thematic webinars, as well as in-person Family Constellation workshops in the Washington DC area:  

• in-person family constellation workshops in Washington DC area  
• on-line individual family and systemic constellations  
• on-line individual holistic counseling sessions for continuous support
• on-line Somatic Release, a body focused method of work  to release stress and trauma (developed on the basis of Somatic Experiencing® approach by Peter Levine)

Sessions are held in English, Ukrainian, and Russian.
