Meet your coach
Hi, I’m Ilya Zilbersteine.
After working for 20 years in tech, I know first hand the challenges of the busy modern life. I suffered from anxiety, inner critic and the need for approval for many years. I lived my life mostly in my head with only a few emotions that where "ok" to be experienced.
With the help of psychology, meditation and mindfulness practices I found a way to ease, joy and fulfillment that are not dependent on my life situation. I realized that the main purpose of life is to live, it's to really be there for it one moment at a time.
It makes me cry thinking how many simple and wonderful moments of life I have missed and almost everyone miss every day.
I use both ancient and modern tools to help my students tap into their natural capacity for presence, ease, and joy, even on the busiest days.
I'm looking forward to meeting you.

Is this for you?
This space is designed for those who are ready to dive deeper into their inner world to find truly reliable ease, joy, and satisfaction that is not dependent on their life situation.
It is particularly helpful if you:
- Feel "stuck" in your meditation practice or keep hitting the same mental roadblocks.
- Are navigating a transition and want to meet it with more presence and less reactivity.
- Are curious about non-dual awareness but aren't sure how to live it in the "real world."
- Want to bridge the gap between the stillness of the formal meditation and the busyness of your daily life.
