Ilvana Florova: Embodying Resilience and Joy
Nestled amidst New Zealand’s Paparoa Ranges, Ilvana Florova’s journey is a testament to resilience, exploration, and the pursuit of joy. Originally from Pietersburg, South Africa, Ilvana’s path has taken her from Europe’s coasts to Africa’s borderlands, always seeking the magic of existence intertwined with nature’s rhythms.
Starting as a Pressure-point Therapist in Auckland in 2001, Ilvana faced dark depression despite outward success. A few years on she transitioned into personal training and nutrition, she discovered a profound resilience and an unwavering determination to find joy. A love for nature led her to study biochemistry in food and naturopathy.
Two years into her studies all came to a halt in 2020, a life-changing accident confined Ilvana to a wheelchair, yet she found strength through the art of frame drumming and brewing herbal teas. Over the next 4 years she embraced mindfulness, herbalism, and self-care, ultimately walking again and reclaiming her vitality
Guided by mentors like Joanne Hakaraia, Ilvana earned certificates in Punaora Rongoā and Hineatua Rongoā, connecting deeply with plant healing spirits. She delved into Alchemical Herbalism, Homeobotanical Therapy and Quantum Flame Healing®, blending modern science with ancient wisdom. Completing an International Rapid Results Coaching Certificate with Authentic Education, she showcased her dedication to personal growth and empowerment.
Driven by her mission to unearth joy, Ilvana created the “Joy Revitalized ♥ Vibe Vitality!” program. Here, she imparts energy healing wisdom, helping individuals and corporate professionals navigate life’s challenges and unlock their true selves. From Africa’s plains to New Zealand’s mountains, Ilvana embodies boundless potential, guiding others to find joy within their own hearts.
