“Just being in Yelena’s presence puts you in contact with the magic of the plant world. From the first meeting I felt cocooned in her gentle guidance. A completely non-judgemental space which gave me room to open to the treatments she suggested. Going on any healing journey can be a scary and vulnerable time, but because Yelena has such an ability to hold the space I was completely able to surrender to the process and allow the medicine to take me where I needed to go to heal. Follow up meetings allowed me to integrate my experiences and use what I had learned in practical ways in my daily life. Yelena holds the space for it all! I felt totally loved, accepted and respected as the author of my own experience the whole time. Through the medicinal power of the plants she uses, Yelena will make you feel that you have come home to yourself.”

“Working with Yelena was an authentically life-changing experience. I was seeking support for my crippling anxiety as after years of therapy I had hit a wall, unable to “talk” through the changes I craved. Yelena held my experience with extraordinary tenderness and thoroughness. She meticulously answered all my technical questions and the questions I didn't think to ask. I cannot tell you how powerful this experience was for me. My brain and body felt cleared out and awakened. I felt wide open and connected to the profound tenderness of the world. I felt genuine, in my bones, calm — a state I did not know I was capable of accessing. I am filled with unimaginable gratitude.”

“A transcending, life-changing journey with plant medicine. Yelena held tender, safe, and loving space throughout, working thoughtfully and kindly with every encounter we had. A wonderful plant medicine guide, who I will hold dearly in my heart for the rest of my days.”

“Given my adverse experiences with cannabis and my family history, I have long been resistant and at times triggered by plant medicines. I knew that to heal my relationship with these medicines, I would need to work with a guide who is spiritually grounded, scientifically attuned, and approaches these medicines with nuance. Yelena embodies exactly that. Through the process, she offered me a distinct alchemy of slow, nurturing care alongside detail-attentive seriousness that helped me relate more lovingly to my fears and trust that I was supported every step of the way. I was utterly transformed not only by the journey itself, but by Yelena’s modelling of loving kindness and her ability to hold a container of spacious care rooted in a steadfast belief in my courage, intuition, and self-wisdom."

“I couldn’t have asked for a more expansive, enlightening and supportive space. This was a profoundly healing experience that will stay with me.”

“I worked with Yelena after suffering from periodic depression for the past decade. Her calm therapeutic approach helped me be open about my mental health issues which she gently helped me to explore in the journey and surrounding integration. Her compassionate approach to this work has helped me in a way that I am unable to fully express in words.”
