Ilona Palucki is a trained dance therapist. Since discovering the Palucki Method, she has treated over 244 trauma clients and observed and documented its effectiveness over the long term.
Ilona Palucki spent many years intensively studying and observing people’s behavior, as well as the connection between feelings and physical expression, also known as body reading.
Important influences were the well-known dance teacher Hella Schmidt-Neuhaus, who was her mentor for many years, as well as the work of Raden Ayou Jodjana. During her career she studied and experienced various wisdom traditions such as Buddhism and the knowledge transfer into the Western culture through, for example, Dr. Alberto Villoldo. She did various additional trainings.
For the Palucki Method, she used her experience from dance therapy to rapidly model a resourceful state through breathing and body work so that she can efficiently approach trauma and work with its emotions.

Patrick Palucki Dipl. Des. has invented and developed a novel brain-computer interface together with a neuroscientist from Laurentian University, Canada. This platform makes it possible to learn meditation in a playful manner within a very short time using neurofeedback, multi-channel EEG and virtual reality. He led an international team of scientists and programmers. This award-winning interdisciplinary research and development has been presented at several conferences, including in Silicon Valley and at Harvard University. This invention will be able to be used therapeutically and in everyday life in the future once EEG technology has matured further.

Patrick Palucki was a member of the Neuroscience Research Group in the laboratory of Dr. Michael A. Persinger and developed concepts for research and technology for Dr. Anirban Bandyophadyay (National Laboratory for Material Science, Tsukuba, Japan).

He studied design with emerging media technologies and is a diploma designer.

Patrick Palucki organized scientists, funding and research for university pilot study of the Palucki Method, which was peer reviewed and published in a scientific trauma journal.
