  • "Working with Yuri is like hanging out with your favorite person. Her approach is gentle but deep with knowledge and knowing. I tend to trust those who are continually on their own journeys of inner healing, and 10/10 recommend that you reach out to yuri and see for yourself!"

  • I consider Yuri my life coach, counselor and healer. Yuri remembers and reminds me of my own herstory and present journey. My first chakra clearing opened some long time, stuck shut doors. My energy was instantly profoundly moved. Now, once a week, I have someone to trust with my deepest honest concerns, who has the ability to read energy centers and nourish them using smells, sounds and stones. I feel these healing changes, day by day, growing a stronger and healthier me.

  • "I visited Yuri during a time period where I felt my whole nervous system was out of wack. I needed direction and some grounding and Yuri helped me find that. She is a great listener, she brings a calm approach and has a vast knowledge in nutrition to nurture your body and soul. At the end of my treatment, my progress was tangible. I felt empowered and with more tools and resources than never before. Thank you Yuri! You made such an impact in my health."

  • "Yuri is a true Master of her craft. I spent the next few days of this retreat watching her work and noticing the changes in myself as the nourishment of her food, wisdom, and spirit spoke to my body, mind, and soul. Given that this retreat involved a lot of instruction, there was a never-ending row of containers that we all operated and practiced in. From student to student, student to teacher, teacher to student, and all the various groups we found ourselves in, each container was beautiful and allowed learning and healing, but there was a larger container at work the entire time that kept us all secure. Yuri held a container from Wednesday through Sunday that covered every meal, every lesson, and every conversation, and she did it with a smile in her heart. She provided a steady energy and calmness when plans were changed or when people simply wandered into her space. From sunup to sundown she fed,cleansed, and taught us about the healing arts. She has the energy and desire to truly care for people in her charge. She walks in step with her ancestors, and she honors them through her life."

  • "Yuri me ayudó a recuperarme no solo de problemas estomacales, sino también de una etapa en la que ya no sabía qué hacer para mejorar mi salud física. El siguiente paso para mí parecía ser una respuesta médica muy invasiva, pero en lugar de eso, ella desarrolló una dieta personalizada basada en principios de la Ayurveda, que no solo me permitió recuperarme, sino también seguir adelante. La dieta ayurvédica, con su enfoque en el equilibrio de los doshas y el uso de alimentos frescos y naturales, me ayudó a mejorar mi digestión, aumentar mi energía y restaurar el bienestar general. Además, me recomendó suplementos alimenticios que complementaron perfectamente la dieta y me brindaron grandes beneficios. Por todo esto, siempre que tengo oportunidad, recomiendo a mis amigos y conocidos que consulten a Yuri. Realmente cambió mi forma de comer y mi vida. ¡Le estoy muy agradecida! "

  • "When considering sacred medicine, I found myself hesitant. Will the guide be grounded, will they understand healing the way I do, will I feel comfortable letting go, and will they have done "the work" themselves to help me through? However, I'd like to assure anyone that an experience in plant medicine with Yuri is putting yourself in the hands of a well seasoned medicine woman, who is not only experienced in many healing arts, but someone who knows how to guide and use the medicine in the most feminine and gentle ways possible. Yuri's healer side really comes through, knowing just where to touch the body to facilitate (with prior permission of course), and her deep intuition lets her know when to step in and when to leave you to your process. She's utterly available and deeply present during the ceremonies, on so many levels, as well as for support before and after. I also appreciate her sense of boundaries and facilitating where helpful while trusting your own wisdom. Finally, these therapies are life changing, but often out of price range or travel abilities. Yuri offers the ceremonies in small, intimate groups at beyond reasonable prices. She also makes the food for the retreats and her knowing of Ayurveda and sacred food practices can be felt in the nourishment. I recommend so many of my patients to Yuri, because I trust her implicitly. "

  • "If you give Yuri a space, she will turn it into a space of healing. If you give her some food, she will turn it into nourishment. If you give her some flowers, she will turn them into medicine. If you listen to her words, she will give you wonderful truths. Because of the container nourishment and love that Yuri so tenderly provided, wounds were healed. I fully, and enthusiastically, recommend Yuri for your needs. If you would like to speak with me for more information about how amazing Yuri is, please feel free to contact me at any time."

She created a warm, safe and intimate space that met me where I needed, and honored my individual process with loving presence, support and care. I will be returning to work with Yuri in the future and I highly recommend her for anyone considering a sacred medicine ceremony as a next step on their healing journey."

  • "A Sacred Journey of Transformation: From the very first encounters, holistic care to healing medicine, my journey with Yurivida has been extraordinary. She embodies a blend of ancient wisdom, boundless compassion, and nurturing grace that seems to flow from the very heart of the universe itself. Her understanding transcends the ordinary, touching realms where healing becomes art and care becomes sacred ritual. When my husband faced the shadows of chemotherapy, Yurivida wove her Ayurvedic mastery like golden threads through his treatment, crafting a tapestry of strength and restoration that held him gently through those difficult moments. Then came my own initiation into the mysteries of plant medicine—a calling that led me to a realm beyond the veil of ordinary experience. The retreat sanctuary exists like a secret from an enchanted tale: nestled within a dreamy forest where every leaf whisper ancient secrets and every breeze carries messages from the divine. Here, surrounded by towering trees, skies blue by day, starry by night, night creatures’ concert, the boundary between earth and heaven dissolves into pure wonder. Yurivida's preparation was itself a ceremony of devotion. From sacred dietary alchemy to the gentle cultivation of emotional readiness, she tended to every aspect of our journey with the precision of a master gardener, plating seeds, nurturing souls toward bloom. No detail escaped her loving attention; no concern went unwitnessed. What unfolded during the ceremony transcends words. I experienced a transformation so profound, so deep, that it felt like watching my scattered pieces dance back together in harmony. Under Yurivida's masterful guidance, I was held in a cocoon of absolute safety while the sacred medicine worked its ancient magic. Her ability to weave and hold the collective energy created a sanctuary where vulnerability became strength and surrender became freedom. The ceremony itself was conducted with utmost respect, honoring sacred tradition, every moment pulsing with authentic spiritual power. In Yurivida's presence, the medicine space became energetically fortified, a temple where healing could unfold without fear. But perhaps the most enchanting moment came on our final day, when we drew animal spirit cards in a moment of divine play. The universe revealed its sense of sacred humor: the two spirit beings that had graced our ceremonies with their presence emerged as our drawn guardians—a synchronicity so perfect it could only be described as cosmic poetry. I emerge from this sacred journey transformed, with a heart and soul overflowing with universal love and healing. The integration feels miraculous—as if the sacred plant medicine reached into the depths of my being and remembered me back to wholeness. In deepest gratitude for this alchemical gift of healing, for Yurivida's luminous guidance, and for the profound magic that occurs when ancient wisdom meets an open heart.”
