In this episode of Wellness Reimagined I invited on a special guest who’s instagram I have been admiring for some time now.
Ilona Varo, a Hungarian-born psychotherapist practicing in Los Angeles, combines a unique blend of experiences to guide her transformative approach to mental health. With a background spanning the beauty industry, entertainment sector, and healing arts, Ilona’s perspective is as diverse as it is insightful. Her practice centers on women’s issues, addressing matters such as body image, disordered eating, anxiety, trauma, and more, from adolescence to adulthood. Utilizing techniques like EMDR, narrative, and somatic therapies, Ilona emphasizes the critical connection between mind and body in fostering resilience, stress management, and healthy coping skills.
In the episode she shares some of her favorite techniques for getting out of your own way.
What I loved about the conversation was her perspective on navigating systems of oppression: We can navigate a diet culture world with empowerment, as opposed to victimhood, by being intentional with our thoughts and words.
