What sets Yana apart is her ability to foster deep, meaningful connections among participants. Her kindness and gentle guidance create a safe space for everyone to navigate their emotions, making the experience feel like savoring the best crème brûlée you’ve ever had. Each authentic relating game she facilitates leaves me feeling seen and heard, enhancing my understanding of myself and others.
I became such a fan that I invited her as my special guest for one of my workshops. I feel blessed to count Yana as a collaborator. Her radiant presence and dedication to helping people connect enriches the community around her.

Being part of this NVC group has given me a safe space where I truly feel heard and seen. The openness of everyone in the group invites me to be more open too, and to share my feelings and needs with honesty. I’ve learned to check in with myself and become more aware of what’s alive in me. With Yana’s gentle guidance, we’re encouraged to go deeper and explore the deeper layers behind our needs — it’s been both grounding and transformative.

The NVC practice group is a safe haven for me to explore my own thoughts, needs and feelings. Despite how uncomfortable and painful some of the realizations can be that I come to in these sessions, I always feel relieved, more empowered and whole afterwards.
Jasmin
The workshop really helped me get my communication on one hand better structured but also more connected to my heart, so that I could somehow feel how the words are flowing from my heart through my mouth. And that was because Yana was so present with her heart and being so authentic and also vulnerable that this opened the space to drop deeper myself.

After every session with Yana, apart from having another proverbial stone removed from my shoe, I found myself thinking: “Girl, you were born to do this!”. Yana combines two important qualities in her healing: gentleness and drive towards greater resolution guided by her healer’s intuition. This means you always feel safe, seen and understood, yet invited to go deeper and closer to the root of your issue. I was always amazed how her intuition guided me to look at my deeper and deeper shit, yet always kept the communication non-violent and constructive. Thanks to you Yana, I dealt with shit I did not know how to for the longest time. Eternal Thank You, The Most Compassionate One!

Yana’s work had a deep impact on me. Her natural and beautiful approach put me in contact with something I had forgotten is very important to me: being vulnerable, authentic. It’s a very important step in our inner evolution because we can’t grow without starting from where we are, from what is real. And her work is exactly that: authentic, it connects you to what is real, and in that process you find the most beautiful freedom, the freedom to be who you are, and to align yourself with the natural flow of life 🙏

I had a great time exploring NVC and Authentic Relating Games with Yana! It’s been eye-opening and made me reconsider my approach to conversations and connections. These sessions gently challenged my usual communication habits and I’m very grateful for the fresh perspective. Yana is very passionate and knowledgeable about these topics and a big thanks to her for introducing me to a deeper understanding of my own feelings and needs, and how to connect with others. There is much more to learn!
Lana
Yana’s sessions are always delightful and very valuable insights emerge during and after. Compassionate communication skills can only be attained through practice and learning about yourself. Yana is a skillful master at creating a safe space for us to explore and express our needs, emotions, judgments, and practice empathy.

Love it love it love how joyful , connecting these practices are. And I love how surprisingly deep we go in observing our reactions, needs and beliefs in our communication. It makes me more aware of how I choose to relate to people and more considerate.
Fabi
The Authentic Relating Games were a great experience to get to know myself and how I interact with others. It made me realize that I talk too much when I’m mot comfortable with someone and that I should be more present and hear more carefully what other people are saying. It was a life changing experience!

Great workshop to engender interest in NVC and make your first steps in this topic. Yana was very open during the session which helped us to get in the right mood. The workshop had a very safe atmosphere that allowed us to immerse ourselves when we did the exercises. I left with several pleasant insights after the workshop.
