Ilana Libman

Ilana Libman is a hypnotherapist and founder of ILIT — Ilana Libman Innovative Therapy, where she helps people explore the beliefs and patterns beneath the surface so they can create meaningful change in their lives.

 

Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, during the communist era, Ilana grew up as the only Jewish girl in her school. Those early experiences shaped the resilience, empathy, and deep respect for the human spirit that continue to guide her work today.

 

Creativity was always part of her world.

 

“We had no internet. The world was our playground. That freedom sparked our creativity, made the impossible feel possible, and taught us to create.”

 

In 2014, Ilana founded a nonprofit promoting peace and communication through art, leading to collaborations across cultures, including an art program for youth in Bethlehem, Palestine.

 

A year later, she built and operated a 6,000-square-foot wellness and community center in Jersey City. She brought together a multidisciplinary team, wellness programs, movement, creativity, a Health Bar Café, and Jersey City’s first Ninja Warrior–style obstacle course. The experience reflected something that has defined Ilana throughout her life: the ability to bring people and ideas together and turn an ambitious vision into something real.

 

When the world changed in 2020 and her physical spaces closed, Ilana reinvented once again.

 

She turned her focus fully toward Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) and hypnotherapy, combining her lifelong curiosity about human potential with a deeply personal approach to transformation.

 

Today, Ilana works hybrid or virtually with clients around the world through sessions she affectionately calls “Zoomnosis.” Fluent in three languages and based in the New York City area, she draws from a lifetime of creating, leading, adapting, and connecting with people from many different backgrounds.

 

For Ilana, transformation is about understanding what drives our patterns, where they began, and creating the freedom to choose something different.

 

“We’re not here just to cope. We’re here to reconnect with who we are, rewrite the stories that no longer serve us, and move forward with greater freedom.”
