Hi, I’m Ilina and I make clarity, confidence, and performance happen
I help people and teams perform at a high level without running on empty.
As a psychologist and certified coach, I bring together neuroscience, mindfulness, and real-world experience to help others work with more clarity, confidence, and ease.
Why I do this work
Early in my career, I often struggled with confidence.
I knew I had the skills and drive, but in demanding, high-stakes environments, I didn’t always feel like I belonged.
That uncertainty shaped how I showed up – in meetings, in projects, and in opportunities I hesitated to take.
Coaching changed everything. With the right guidance, I found my voice, built genuine confidence, and earned two promotions in less than a year.
That experience drives my work today
Because I know first hand what’s possible when someone has the right support. Now I support others to do the same: perform at their highest level and thrive in challenging environments.
I bring together formal training and lived practice: a psychology degree, Professional Coach certification from Erickson Coaching International, and advanced mindfulness training through CMBM, as well as training in workplace well-being from UC Berkeley’s Happiness at Work program.
My approach blends science, practical tools, and proven coaching methods.

Helped 40+ professionals gain clarity on their priorities, manage their energy, and perform at their best in demanding environments.
