Your Journey to Authentic Wellness Begins Here

Your Original Manual

According to ancient healing traditions, everyone has their unique imprint – there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness. Like a seed that contains all the information needed to become a magnificent tree, your body holds the wisdom of perfect health.

At the intersection of indigenous wisdom and contemporary wellness, I offer both personalized one-on-one services and carefully crafted products. Drawing from my indigenous lineage, Ayurvedic philosophy, and integrative nutrition expertise, I guide you toward understanding your original manual and unique imprint.

"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!"

"Yuri is a powerful sacred medicine guide and facilitator. 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."

"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."

"When considering psychedelic therapy, 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. "

"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! "

"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."

Whole-istic Harmony Journey

Just as a seed needs all five elements to grow into a magnificent tree, your body requires balance among these same elements to thrive. The earth provides stability through your bones and tissues; water flows through your blood and lymphatic system; fire powers your metabolism and digestive processes; air circulates as your breath and nerve impulses; and ether creates the essential spaces within your body—from the hollows in your bones to the chambers of your heart—just as it provides the space for a tree's branches to expand and reach toward the sky. When these elements exist in harmony, you experience optimal well-being. You are already whole—complete and perfect in your original design.

Yurivida services are truly whole-istic because I work with body, mind, and energy (spirit). My approach begins with evaluation, then focuses on calming your nervous system (like soothing a barking dog), igniting your agni (digestive fire), and tracking back to the root cause of imbalance – ultimately bringing you back into harmony with all your elements.
