Take a deep breath and think about the life you have always dreamed of and wanted. Do you have it? If not, can you see what is blocking you? Is it you? Is it your circumstances? What would you create or just allow yourself to have “if only”…
What would your life look like if you managed to get all of those “if onlys” out of your way? Who could you be? What could you accomplish? What would you create if you saw yourself as Intentional and Focused? What if you could Imagine and Fulfill ?
Proud founder of “IF Only” Life Coaching, Ileana Ferreras has been working with others to transform their lives since 2006. She has worked with dozens in creating balance, integrity and a more purposeful life. She has also stood patiently by as those very same people got the breakthrough necessary to get them closer to their desired mark with ease and velocity.
Ileana is a powerful and passionate coach whose mission is to help you identify and tackle the blocks, excuses or limiting beliefs that are in the way of you creating the life you truly want.
Born and raised in Northern Manhattan, this native New Yorker has “your back” and you will know it from the first encounter. Her warmth and authenticity is clear in every interaction and yet, she will not hesitate to call you out if you are entertaining things that you are not committed to. She asks questions that will bring out your natural resources and creativity perfectly; bringing whatever you're up to -- to the next level. She has an amazing ability to listen and reflect what she hears in a way that has YOU see your own personal blind spots. By working with her you will get “out of your head” and into action in a way you never thought possible.
An affliliate of Accomplishment Coaching and a member of the International Coach Federation, Ileana has a BA in Spanish Literature and Multilingual Journalism and has held positions in Customer Service, Public Relations as well as Personal and Executive Assistance throughout the past 20 years.
See what others say about Ileana Ferreras:
Let's face it, nobody likes to be told what to do. Therefore, a coach is only effective if he/she can simultaneously contribute both a pure listening and an honest dialogue that together allow people to come to their own conclusions about the best course of action. Ileana's coaching has little to do with suggesting you do something specific (although she won't hesitate to have an ordinary conversation with you). Rather, she utilizes her masterful listening as well as her natural cool-factor and spunk to create a comfortable space where those she interacts with can loosen up, talk it out, dwindle in their own perspective, and eventually have their own realization about the best path to take. In that realization lies confidence. In that confidence lies human empowerment. That is the gift of Ileana's coaching. ~ Josh A. advertising account supervisor
Ileana gets down to the nitty-gritty. After working with Ileana I have been able to identify, observe and shift life patterns that have held me back in almost every area of my life. Her no-nonsense approach to coaching gets you into the championships of your life. She is committed to your triumphs, big and small. 110% committed . ~ Henry G. -composer, singer, actor.
Ileana listens for the bigger context and asks questions that get to the root of the matter - all this in minutes! She cuts through the excuses and complications in a very fresh, direct, funny and compassionate way. When I met Ileana, I was stuck in a very complex emotional situation that I saw no way out of. Her support and encouragement gave me the courage to take actions and now I am exactly where I want to be. Above all, she loves coaching and supporting people and does it with all her love, energy and charisma. I highly recommend her. ~ Xiomara N. - musician, teacher.
Before coaching with Ileana I was not able to deal effectively with people in leadership roles nor was I able to communicate well with women. These obstacles became stumbling blocks to succeed both personally and professionally in all phases of my life. Through Ileana’s coaching I have gained confidence in myself and have been able to create new and powerful ways to relate to women in romantic relationships – something I never thought I could do before. She has helped me to create what I want in my life. Not only is she patient and understanding but she listens to me – truly listens to what I say and hears the greatness in me. I now speak powerfully and make requests without feeling insecure or not good enough. I would highly recommend Ileana Ferreras to anyone who wants to make a difference in their life and truly realize their potential. ~David R. -entrepreneur
Ileana's coaching is about getting "it" done and working with you to overcome the obstacles that had kept you from achieving and developing your potential. This new understanding has helped me in all aspects of my life from having a better relationship with my coworkers and my boss, to being more understanding, loving, and forgiving in my personal relationships. This experience resonates and stays within. I've had many breakthroughs even months after Ileana and I had our last session. ~ Patricia A.-graphic designer
