Testimonials
"...I am very grateful to have had the experience of working with
Ilene English. Ilene has an awareness and compassion that was invaluable
to me. I always knew I was being heard, and that she truly understood
the challenges I was facing. As a single mother struggling to maintain
my equilibrium, her very grounded and practical insights guided me to firmer
footing."
"Working with Ilene has helped me move toward making healthier and
more life-affirming choices. Thank you, Ilene, for all your great work.

" I seem to be plodding along through life's ups and downs with more
ups than downs now. I think of your often and all the help and guidance
you gave me. I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for you, so thank
you for getting me started in the right direction. And, thank you for
being such a shining example. I admire you in so many ways."
"Ilene has a beautiful smile and a light shining from her eyes that
helped me feel safe from the beginning. She possesses a special ability
to empower me towards finding my own solutions and my own answers in my
life. She is completely non-judgmental, and consistently notices and points
out my strengths instead of my weaknesses. This has helped me to notice
them too! Whenever I get stuck, Ilene seems to know the right words or
the right question to ask to help guide me to my answer... "
"I was emotionally and sexually abused as a child. I was
addicted to drugs and alcohol for years. I have learning disabilities
and always lived with a sense of shame, guilt and a tremendous amount of fear
of failure. It seemed as if my destiny was to always come up short of
the "brass ring". I just wasn't smart enough, good enough and my
child abuse issues assured me that I would never have a loving, healthy secure
sexual relationship...Today I am happy to say that 95% of the time I feel like
an adult. I am responsible for my feelings, I can communicate
without sounding like a victim. I have accepted my limitations with my
learning disabilities, am learning to work with or around them, and not feel
ashamed or stupid. And I am involved in a loving relationship for the
first time ever. What a miracle!"
"Ilene led a group for women who had all met at NA (Narcotics
Anonymous). It was so helpful to have someone who could guide us
to go deeper into the pain of the past that caused us to become addicts in the
first place, and then lead us out again to realize that we are no longer
victims. "
"Ilene is a teacher and a healer. She teaches unconditional love by
giving it. Through her, I am learning one of the most difficult lessons
ever, how to unconditionally love myself!"
