  • “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.”

  • “I worked with Yelena after suffering from periodic depression for the past decade. Her compassionate approach to this work has helped me in a way that I am unable to fully express in words.”

  • “Yelena is spiritually grounded, scientifically attuned, and approaches plant medicines with nuance. 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.”

  • “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 surrender to the process. I felt totally loved, accepted and respected as the author of my own experience the whole time. Yelena will make you feel that you have come home to yourself.”
