Ilka has been nothing short of impressive & effective since I started working with her nearly a year ago. When my personal life, work, and everything in between became too much for me, I sought out a 'life coach' and was lucky enough to match with Ilka. After just one session with Ilka, I felt like I had known Ilka for years. She has the uncanny ability to make you feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable and talk about anything and everything with absolutely no judgment or awkwardness. Ten months later, I have made tremendous strides in my personal and professional life - to which I credit Ilka's profound insight, perspective, and, most importantly, her solution-oriented approach to working with her clients. She has given me tools, tips, and tricks that have been game-changers in my everyday life - establishing a consistent A.M. routine to improve my productivity and create much-needed structure in my life, discovering what organizational technique aligns with what I want to accomplish efficiently & effectively. To some, organizing everything from electronics, bills, and dog supplies, may come naturally. For me, it does not come naturally. Ilka & I worked together to devise an attainable plan to de-cluttering and strategically organizing around my apartment. And it's not a situation where we speak about my goals once and forget about it; Ilka genuinely cares about her client's and wants to see them succeed, which radiates during every session - holding me accountable for accomplishing tasks and at times, working through any challenges or barriers that come up. I truly look forward to our weekly sessions. The fact that after each session, I am noticeably in a better headspace... I feel accomplished and motivated to continue my journey of self-discovery and self-improvement. Ilka is one of a kind in the best way humanly possible. read more

I've been working with Ilka for a few years now and she never disappoints. I've used her services for myself and my cat, all very enjoyable, insightful and grounding experiences. Ilka is such a good listener and she gives such good solutions and words of affirmation in all the right ways. She is clearly "doing the work" and it spreads onto all of her clients (human & animal). I recommend working with Ilka for you or your pets if you are open minded to a different perspective and in need of advice that comes from a deeply spiritual yet secular and socially informed place. Thanks Ilka! read more

I had no idea what to expect from my conversation with Ilka, but let me tell you this woman is the real deal! I have chills writing this review. Unlike what you might imagine a clairvoyant conduit to be like, Ilka is so full of laughter and realness that it's impossible not to feel at ease --even when embarking on your first guided trip to the mystical plane. I walked away from our session feeling noticeably lighter, as if I was bouncing on clouds for the next few days. Seriously -- not metaphorically, it was a physical feeling of lightness. Right from the get go it was uncanny how Ilka knew what was in my head or heart. We did a series of deep breathing and guided visualizations while she articulated things she was seeing through imagery. It was if though she was leading me by the hand through my own mind, worries and fears! Always the skeptic, I was careful not to reveal anything telling beyond broad life-areas I wanted to explore in our conversation, but it's laughable looking back because she nailed my true worries/questions before I could even throw a hint! I love how she also gave me meditations and exercises to practice in my own life to help keep me energetically balanced -- it was nice to walk away with tangible takeaways. I don't think I even fully realized in the moment how the things Ilka mentioned during our session would come to be helpful as the next few weeks unfolded, but lo and behold, it seems she really could see something I couldn't. All I can say is, I'll be back! read more

I met Ilka spontaneously, before I had any idea what kind of work she did. Instantly, it was obvious she was special, and I wanted her in my life. As she explained her place in the world, it made complete sense, and maybe it's just my energy needing her, but I was called to work with her. My in-person session with Ilka was incredible. I was in NY for some medical treatments, and feeling the weight of everything going on. I went in giving her free reign, and with a mix of body and energy work, Ilka did her magic. I instantly felt more willing and able to take on all the things coming. I felt grounded and secure, and solid in my decisions. Physically, the soreness and exhaustion I was feeling was essentially gone. I was tapped into myself in a way I hadn't been for a very long time. Sessions with Ilka are truly healing, and I can't wait to have another. read more

My first impression of Ilka was someone with the most youthful exuberance I have ever met. I think she can control entire weather systems in the positive. She has a unique brand of knowledge that she posses and wields with a beautifully artistic flair. In a single thirty minute phone session, Ilka has equipped me with a cosmic toolkit to manifest my dreams, imagery for deep breathing, a reconceptualization of the chakras, and how to activate modules for blocking out negative signals I am receiving. I was hesitant at first to consult with Ilka because I am inherently a skeptic of psychic mediums. Especially out in LA, one has to be wary, because so many of them are lamentably contemporary - focusing solely on predictions and foresight and maintaining a stiff and sometimes emotionless demeanor. Ilka imbues each and every client with the know how to be our own clairvoyant --our own medium. We can do this through fine tuning our antennas. We all are psychic. We all are connected. She will show you how. I marvel reflecting on the profundity of our session. With her expectant and kind smile, and great laughter, she is 1000% shaman healer mixed with soul sister realness. An unabashed love for connection. I have been waiting for Ilka my entire life. read more

Ilka is one of THE best and most professional people I have ever worked with. She is a spiritual healer from the Gods, sent down to Earth to help us scrambling loss souls. Her readings are locked in and have proved to be beneficial in my life. The depth of her connection and her spirit is overwhelmingly amazing and I can't wait for for my next reading. If you are looking for someone to give you insight to what is going on in your world Ilka is the one to speak with. Ilka is the one to get your reading with, point blank and the period. read more

I've used Ilka's services twice so far and will again in the future. I wasn't sure what to expect, and I did feel some skepticism beforehand, but the session itself made that irrelevant for me. The very least one could call this would be something like a very good "epiphany" session with a therapist that knows you really well. That means you don't have to believe in anything supernatural to get something out of this. Even though I mostly don't, I still believe Ilka is magical. She is also whip smart, funny and great company. She explained her process and set up the session in an efficient and friendly manner. She gave me a poetic and vivid "snapshot" of my current situation and gave me some good advice, which I took. At the end of the session, she lead me through some cleansing and healing rituals that I've been using since. I would recommend her services to anyone who would like a little guidance, support or refill. Ilka can offer something a therapist, priest or doctor can't. I would definitely suggest getting the full hour. Though Ilka can certainly do a lot in a half hour too, the full hour felt like a deeper experience. read more

It's true that I can review Ilka's ability to delve into intimate personal space and aid navigation with her mindful and delicate maternal grace but today's review is specifically to praise her psychic and healing abilities when it comes to my four legged friends. I have never met someone so intuitive with or attractive to animals. Every time she visits my home my three furry family members flock to her like a scene from Snow White. My 17 year old cat Valentine recently developed a medium sized cyst on his side. It didn't seem to be causing him pain but it must have contributed to a level of discomfort because he didn't want it to be touched or inspected. He occasionally gets similar chin spots that go away on their own so I resolved to leave a vet visit until I returned from a trip two weeks later. While I was away, Ilka acted as my house/pet sitter and the two of them must have some kind of higher level doctor patient confidentiality because he immediately let his sensitive spot be seen, touched, and gently soothed to health by Ilka in a way he was certainly unprepared to do so for me. I returned home from my trip to a peaceful home and my sweet old boy on the mend, cystic spot shrunk down and almost impossible to find. Within three more days, completely gone and Valentine even more eager to be patted and snuggles than before. Respect, appreciation, and gratitude to you my friend and guru, Ilka. If I consider myself to be an old soul, well, then Ilka is an ancient one, who still remembers how to talk to and heal all forms of life though energy and touch and infinite compassion. read more

Ilka is the truth! I have to warn you though. Be careful what you ask for. I've had sessions with Ilka where I wasn't 100% ready for what came up and had to "back up off of it and sit my cup down" in the illustrious words of Snoop Doggy Dog. Seriously, it took me a year to really be able to process some of the stuff she hit me with! All things happen for the good though, and Ilka and your guides will always be there to support, gently nudge (or sometimes beat you over the head if you're hard-headed, like me), and in general love you in a way that gets you all the way together. It's nice having someone who can create the space you need to deep dive into yourself. You may not like what comes up but it's always what you need. read more

Not what I was looking for. Although very nice, Ilka is more of a coach or a motivational speaker. She doesn't provide a reading that can predict your future or circumstances. She basically teaches you how to change your thought process, something I could have gotten for free on youtube. read more

Both my daughter and I have had astonishingly helpful intuitive readings from Ilka Pinheiro; she works so deeply and her energetic readings are simply incredible. I've also been so lucky to have her expert guidance with two of my cats, and especially with our dear Bodhi, who died yesterday. Ilka is a deeply gifted animal communicator. The first time I reached out to her, years ago when our cat Rebecca was failing, she tuned in so acutely and came up with such specific information that I was gobsmacked. Her guidance then was invaluable so I called her again about Bodhi. Once again, Ilka blew me away not only with her intuition (which was spot on again), but her non-directive, pragmatic advice but also her wisdom, humor, and most of all, compassion and love. Her reading gave us all strength, clarity, and solace during a difficult time. Ilka helps with pets dealing with anxiety, training challenges, illness, near death, and other issues. I cannot recommend her highly enough for people and pets. She is the realest of the real deals! read more

I tend to be a bit of a skeptic. I can get into some spiritual, energetic whatnot but I am very particular about it. I've had two phone sessions with Ilka and each time she casually took me to a place of real, deep energetic listening. Talking to Ilka is the opposite of woo woo spirituality - it is real and revealing and truthful. I have benefited tremendously from our sessions, and I'm so grateful for my time with her! read more

Wisdom. Ilka has given me the gift of peace-as much is even possible in the evil space in which we find ourselves in 2020. She has given me access to concrete tools through which I can connect to my better thoughts, my higher powers. These past two years have been the toughest of my life and I can credit no one more than She for getting me through them. I am grateful for the connection to Her and grateful for the accountability she has built within me. You would be so lucky to cross paths with this true healer. read more

I've had many readings in my lifetime and that has given me a lot of context. What is clear to me is that Ilka is connected to her source. She is a clear channel and has a delicious mama-bear-type of LOVE that radiates from her core. Ilka is POSITIVE. Ilka is HILARIOUS. Ilka will TELL ME LIKE IT IS. She is insightful, accurate, playful, kind, loving and direct. Sessions with her are also filled with Grace and Ease, two things I crave. She is like a close friend and confidant. I just adore her. I will be back, again and again. read more

Wow!!! Ilka has the most earthy-yet-otherworldly gifted connection I've ever experienced. She is funny and truly relatable. Her vivid examples made the messages crystal clear to me. I felt so seen and heard and witnessed. What a gift! What a treat! read more

Ilka is magnificent!! I feel so so blessed to have found her! She is a rare bird of a person who is simultaneously wise, strong, professional, and funny as hell. She embodies the word 'magic'. Her true clairvoyance has helped me immeasurably in my life- it's like yoga and therapy at the same time. She also very much helped me out with my cat, Nora, whom I adore but has been OBSESSED with wanting to be an outdoor cat, creating a very tense environment at home. Ilka was able to communicate with Nora- I heard her side of things (kitty freedom, me letting go) and Nora could see where I was coming from (I've had two cats get run over by a car). I now take her on walks outside and our relationship has changed dramatically towards the much much better. I'm so thankful Ilka has this gift, it's truly life-changing. And I should mention you can talk to her on the phone too if you can't see her in person! read more

Ilka is truly gifted and highly skilled. She is as professional and reliable as she is intuitive and compassionate. I faced a traumatizing jaw infection and prior to a formal diagnosis was made- she informed me that I most certainly had an abscess in my mouth. My medical treatment took 3 months and costed thousands of dollars but Ilka's assistance was the most precious. I supplemented my physical treatment with Ilka's psychic services and thanks to her energetic healing I could face this painful ordeal with courage and clarity. She has also treated my asthma with directed body work and energetic healing. What I love about her approach is her respect for science combined with her magical prowess. Don't hesitate. Book her. She's quite amazing! read more

Every time I have a session with Ilka, I learn more and I heal more. She's legit, I don't know what else to say. She read my current situation just in the condition of my chakras and gave me tools to deal. I feel more sane and at peace than I have in months. read more

Ilka is a clear channel to spirit and she simply radiates magic! I am constantly amazed about how Ilka can facilitate an experience that feels safe, compassionate, and fun, while simultaneously doing deep, groundbreaking work. I always leave her sessions feeling bathed in glitter, empowerment, and love. I would recommend Ilka to anyone looking to heal and grow-- You will feel a profound energetic shift being in Ilka's presence, you will feel your energetic body liberated during the session, and you will be given practical guidance and wisdom to help integrate the healing you felt during the session into your current life...and I promise, she'll make you laugh :) I can't think of a more complete, fulfilling experience AND life changer than a session with Ilka. She is hands down one of the best healers I've ever encountered. read more

I'm not sure if I have the earthly vocabulary to express how amazing Ilka is, but I can try! She is life changing in all the best ways. We've been working together for a few months and she has helped in ways I didn't even know I needed. From teaching me to use energy tools to physically releasing bound fascia and tight muscles - I am far better now then I was before, and we aren't even done yet. I could go on and on about how cool and funny and personable she is, but the physical (and emotional) benefits I have had with her insightful intuition, cupping, and reiki are unbelievable. You need to just try it for yourself, it will cure what ails ya! (and maybe cure things you didn't know was ailing you!) read more

Each time I've worked with Ilka has been refreshing and easy. It was almost like I was just hanging out with a friend, shooting the breeze. The bonus is that she communicates the same way with my guides as me. This most recent time included my dog, and all of the information I received either confirmed what I had thought, or opened my eyes to said pooches experience. If you're looking for insight and healing, she's the one for you! read more
