Anxiety Therapy for Bay Area Professionals
We are the original love story that disney wanted to tell but couldn’t grasp because the truest love stories encompass pain – deep pain – and they can’t do that at disney
Our connection was birthed from the pain of the disconnection of divine masculine and feminine. The disconnection of the masculine and feminine mistakes self-sacrifice for selflessness, tolerance for unconditional love and decadence for sensuality. We answered the call to be representatives to heal the distortions of the original intimacy blueprint, to heal the connection and pain between partners, lovers, families through the medicine that comes most naturally to us as Filipinos: our love.
Filipinos are bringing good energy, good spirits to every place they go.
Filipino love is healing.
Filipino love saves the world.
It is our greatest medicine, and it is the medicine that the world needs today.
The intimate and relational pains of our ancestors guided our individual journeys to remember Filipino medicine and wisdom with authenticity and integrity. Guided by the whispers of our ancestors and spirits to heal the pain inside, we eventually were led to be in ceremony with each other – not just as medicine people but in partnership, in union.
We are poetry in motion..
We are connoisseurs of the senses exploring beyond the five senses..
We are the combination of lava and space dust…
Michael is the sun and Ilana is the moon…
We’re the coherence of the head and the heart …
Golden shield, golden sword dancing in the dark…
The vampire slayers of Asia…
The warrior and the poet…
ILANA BROWN
Ilana Brown is a Holistic Feminine Embodiment Coach, ceremonialist and healer devoted to the art of becoming. She works with people who are in seasons of transition, emergence, or soul-deep awakening—guiding them back to their hearts, their bodies, and their truth. Through a blend of Filipino folk healing, feminine energetics, somatic healing, and subconscious reprogramming, she holds sacred space for transformation that is both mystical and grounded.
Her path has taken her across oceans and timelines—from terreiros in Bahia, Brazil to ancestral farmlands in Ajuy, Philippines—in search of authenticity and alignment. With a unique ability to bridge the spiritual and the strategic, Ilana draws from nearly a decade of experience as a strategist in the corporate world—crafting brand strategies for global companies—before answering a deeper call. A spiritual awakening in Havana, Cuba catalyzed her shift from external achievement to inner alignment, initiating years of study in somatic healing, energy work, land-based ritual, and ancestral remembrance.
Ilana’s work is rooted in the wisdom of the land and the body. For years, she stewarded Engkanto Garden Farm, a half-acre sanctuary devoted to healing, ceremony, and feminine remembrance. That chapter taught her how to grow not just plants, but people—tending inner landscapes with the same reverence she offered the soil.
Now in a new season of life, Ilana is walking her own path of emergence. She brings with her the medicine of integration—having moved through initiation, loss, and rebirth—and now supports others in navigating their own thresholds with grace, clarity, and soul.
Born to a Filipina mother and a Jewish father, Ilana was raised between worlds, languages, and ways of knowing. That in-between space shaped her gift: the ability to bridge. Ancestral and modern. Spiritual and practical. Seen and unseen.
Ilana is known for her grounded presence, poetic clarity, and ability to translate ancient wisdom into embodied, actionable insight. Her mission is to restore harmony in relationships—romantic, familial, ancestral, and organizational—by honoring the body, tending the soul, and remembering the sacred in all things.
Whether in intimate circles, sacred retreats, or 1:1 mentorship, Ilana creates containers for women to remember who they are beneath the noise—to return to the body as oracle, the heart as compass, and life as a sacred unfolding. Her work is not about fixing, but about becoming—whole, rooted, and radiant.
