"I believe that a self-care regimen that expands our capacity to laugh deeply, frequently, and freely delivers the best medicine."

—Ilana Kristeva

 

Diagnosed with one of the most painful nerve disorders, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), as well as other physical and mental conditions, I dare to live my best life ever! Giving up would be easier, but each day I embrace and partner with my inner rebel to overcome challenges. Activating my attitude of gratitude and a treasure chest of tools, I cross finish lines throughout the day with grace, ease, and laughter. You can, too!

My name is Ilana Kristeva, Self-Care Vigilante, always ready to inspire leaders to shine while in service to others. With tremendous gratitude, I am living proof that neuroplasticity is not just another beautiful scientific theory; it is my reality. No longer bedridden and in a wheelchair, I celebrate living in the ONE body I’ll ever have and am now fit, fabulous, and fifty+. Join me and F.L.O.W.—Feel Light Offering Wisdom, as we explore our life-adventure lists together!

Is Ilana Kristeva a dynamic speaker, a positive role model who is surprisingly entertaining as well? Or is she a vibrant comedian who vividly demonstrates how personal self-care promotes public health and safety? You decide.

 

Creator of the Tap into the Universe for Recovery book series and the Instant Gratitude Collection, Ilana Kristeva offers interactive presentations that engage the audience in moving energy within their bodies, overcoming self-sabotage, and making positive choices for daily self-care that ultimately promote public health and safety.
