About Facilitator

My name is Yulia Ilchyk, and I am inviting you to experience Family and Systemic Constellations therapy as a journey of transformation. When you’re sharing with me a problem or an issue you are facing, heavy feelings or a question you have – I can’t tell what is best for you  until we meet, set up a constellation based on your particular state and request, and make a joint journey of exploring and discovering the best resolution for you – whether with support of a group, or mine only during individual online sessions. I will be moving at your pace and checking with you throughout the whole process, as fast or as slow as it may take. Every time, however  identical situations may look, each one is different. Hence, each  constellation process and its unfolding is different and needs to be personalized, i.e. no predetermined “solutions” offered beforehand. If this sounds like a comfortable approach for you, please see how you can get in touch with me in Contacts, and Services & Pricing information to schedule a constellation.  

Constellations mainly work with transgenerational (i.e. inherited) trauma, which allows us to discover the hidden stories we subconsciously still take part in.

This allows us to disentangle from them and heal the inherited trauma, giving place in our soul for new resources. 

I also hold individual counseling sessions. 

Counseling sessions are a good fit for you if you are comfortable with transformational meditations, body-oriented approach, and want to:

• become your own advocate and improve your overall quality of life 
• discover the roots of your emotional challenges and misfortunes, and resolve them
• explore the hidden "bridges" of your subconsciousness for you to start managing them
• break inherited patterns that don't work for you, as well as realize their hidden "bonuses"
• help in integration of what unfolded and caught your attention during a constellation, as constellations work with multiple layers of information (trans-generational trauma and its reflection on different aspects of your life), and sometimes this experience may be overwhelming

I am a certified Family Constellations facilitator, practicing in DMV. I have profound business background, having built my career in hotel business from a PR coordinator to Director of Sales and Marketing. 

In 2011 I was first introduced to Family and Systemic Constellations as a client back in Ukraine (Kiev), where I originally come from. After personal experience of the healing effect and other benefits constellations brought into my life, as well as having observed life changing results for other participants, I decided to learn a Family and Systemic Constellations therapy myself to become a facilitator. 

I started my own practice and became a certified facilitator, having graduated from Hellinger Institute of DC in 2016 (annual in-person program). In August 2017 I also graduated a two-year online course held by Iryna Ishchenko, PhD, the former President of Ukrainian Association of Systemic Constellations.
