More About Chana
I believe true mastery isn’t about reaching a perfect destination; it’s about learning to navigate the layers of who you are while you’re still in motion.
Hi, I’m Chana Bilek. My path to relationship coaching didn’t start in a classroom. It began in the "in-between" spaces of identity. My full legal name Caitlin Yoon-Hee Bilek is a license on living, but the layers of my story are told through many names.
​
An adoption agency named me Yoon-Hee. To my adoptive family, I am Caty. I live and move through the world as Chana, my Jewish name. To my birth family, I am Hwaseon. These names are not just labels, they are the distinct architectural layers of a life spent bridging cultures, families, and faiths.
The Bridge Between Science and Soul

I've always been driven to understand the "why" behind human experience. This curiosity led me to a B.S. in Psychology from VCU and an M.S. in Sociology from UNT.
But it was in the walls of Neve Yerushalayim's Jewish women's college in Jerusalem where I learned that data only tells half the story.
​
My speeches and consultations built on this Triple-Threat Foundation:
​​
-
Psychological Frameworks: I help you navigate how your mind processes information and change, turning theory into actionable self-awareness.
​
-
Sociological Perspective: I help you deconstruct the cultural and family systems that shape your identity, as we explore how you fit into the world around you,
​
-
Spiritual Insight: I help you uncover the deeper purpose behind your personal struggles to find alignment in your path forward.
From Professional Practice to Personal Wisdom
For over a decade, I have provided relationship coaching services at the Baltimore Therapy Center (as Caitlin Hill). I've supported my husband in building this private practice. Together, along with other staff, we help clients navigate their own complex connections. Overtime I have learned a lot from my working with hundreds of clients and thousands of sessions. However, my most profound insights came from my own ground breaking journey of adoption reunion.
This three-year process taught me that the hardest part of finding your roots is often rediscovering yourself in the process.
​
My lived experience has given me the clarity that whether you are having relationship troubles, navigating a major life transition, or a shift in identity, the goal is to turn your life history into your greatest strength. I don’t just offer tools; I offer a lived understanding of what it means to rebuild and find harmony in a complex life.​
Why I Created This Central Hub
I still may move between different versions of myself. At the same time I realize that processing life shouldn't happen in silos.
​
I built this central hub to bridge the gap between my many different identities and life's soul work. Most of my names are the walls of who I have become, but Chana Bilek is the name that has become the cornerstone of my identity. As Chana, I have secured my foundation and roof and with resilient strategies. By bringing my professional knowledge, life experience, and creative work under one roof, I offer holistic discussion.

This isn't just a list of services; it's a conversation of one woman searching for Something Greater.

Let's build your life and our world toward Something Greater- one conversation at a time. I invite you to start now.
