You earn well. You still don't feel safe with money.
You crossed the income line years ago. The number went up, the relief didn't. You still buy things on quiet apology. You still flinch before sending an invoice. You still wait for the money to disappear, somehow, even while it's growing. The men in your life are mostly fine. The financially-literate women you know are mostly not. That gap isn't a personal flaw. It's a pattern, and most women carry some version of it.
The pattern was learned long before you earned a single franc. From the women who came before you. From a culture that praised your sacrifice and shamed your wanting. From the unspoken rules about what a "good woman" does and doesn't do with money. Money Therapy works because it goes back to where the pattern was set, not where it shows up today.
What Money Therapy actually does
Money Therapy with Ilana is non-clinical coaching for high-achieving women. Not psychological treatment, not regulated financial advice. Inside-out work on what the money is actually about.
- Names the pattern most women carry. Over-giving and under-charging. Apologising for wanting more. Putting yourself last on the budget. Believing rest must be earned. We name it, we trace it back, and we do not pretend you can just decide to stop.
- Rewires the body, not just the mind. You can read every book on women and money, and the body still flinches when you charge full price. Money Therapy uses NLP and felt-safety practices to update the nervous system, not just the spreadsheet.
- Makes receiving feel safe. Most women are excellent at giving. The blocked place is receiving. Money Therapy works the receiving channel directly, in money and beyond, so success stops feeling like a debt you'll have to pay back.
Money Therapy vs psychotherapy vs financial advice
All three exist for good reasons. They solve different problems. If you are a high-achieving woman whose numbers work but whose body still says "danger," the right starting place is usually the inside-out work.
| Money Therapy | Psychotherapy | Financial advice |
|---|---|---|
| Non-clinical coaching on inherited patterns, body-felt safety, the gendered shapes of how women relate to money. | Clinical mental-health treatment for diagnosed conditions: anxiety disorders, depression, trauma. Regulated under PsyG. | Regulated advice on investments, pension, tax, insurance. Requires FINMA-licensed practitioner. |
| Best when the spreadsheet works but your body still doesn't believe it. | Best when symptoms are clinical and need a licensed practitioner. | Best when the question is "where should this money go?" |
Who this work is for
Money Therapy for women is for high-achievers who recognise themselves in most of these:
- You have crossed the income line. The fear didn't move with you.
- You under-price your work, your time, or your boundaries — and you know you do.
- You over-give, especially to family, partner, or in business. Receiving back feels uncomfortable.
- You grew up watching the women in your family put themselves last with money. You promised you wouldn't. You do anyway.
- You want a practitioner who has actually worked with women on this exact pattern, not a generic life coach.
Frequently asked questions
Is this only for women?
The work is shaped around the patterns most women carry, but men with similar dynamics are welcome. Ilana's specialism is high-achieving women. That is who the method is built for.
I'm not in crisis. Is it still for me?
Yes. Most clients are functioning well from the outside. They book because the inside no longer matches the life they have built. Money Therapy is preventive as much as reparative.
What does it cost?
A 90-minute Quick Start session is CHF 350. Money Mindset Shift (12 weeks) is CHF 2,500. The Signature VIP Transformation (18 sessions, 12 months of support) is CHF 10,500 or 12 × CHF 875/month. See full program detail.
How long until I feel a difference?
Most clients describe a felt shift by session three or four. Permanent rewiring of the receiving channel and the worth pattern usually takes the full container, 12 weeks or 12 months. The work is honest about timeframes.
