Yana Kabirova

hello. Let's meet.

I remember being about 4 years old and having this deep pondering of why couldn’t adults agree on things, why was there hurt and yelling, why can’t they share their deep feelings to help understand each other.
And I still have that similar drive in me to expose the possibility of understanding and connection and great transformation when core emotions are brought to light and are held with care. And this is my purpose. Each individual deserves to feel seen and heard and be who they are in their being so they flourish and so do others around. The world grows and benefits as each individual gets to live out their essence.

We all are creating the ripple effect.

I’ve been collecting tools from somatic therapy, coaching, traditional psychology, alternative healing modalities, connecting to my ancestors, different cultures and generations,.. practicing, taking formal courses, having deep conversations and contemplations, and throwing myself into experiential learnings. I go on learning binges and then process, and then go deeper, and then process and implement. And share. 

My goal is for each person to have support and feel empowered and be living with trust. 

I am dedicated to evolving and growing, while living with kindness, love, curiosity and weave beautiful relationships and moments throughout my life.

Constellations

I went to a Constellations event with Courtney Wren-Mabbutt. Going in I wasn’t really clear on what it was, but it felt right to sign-up. I got to witness and experience beautiful healing and many aha’s over that weekend. With the practice being soooo experiential I didn’t even need to “believe” what Courtney was sharing about the practice, I got to first-hand feel it for myself. 

Since then, Constellations practice sort of enveloped me and reactivated me, there was no doubt about this being a part of my path. It just made sense in my being and felt really exciting to find a modality that can go so deep. So many past learnings, lessons and experiences in my life have clicked into this framework. 
I’ve got to experience amazing changes in my life since, every training and course that I’ve taken, every constellation that I’ve facilitated or got to be a part of, has showed me new layers. I’m honoured to be now sharing this work with others.
Big thank you’s to Courtney Wren, Francesca Mason-Boring, Sarah Peyton, Elena Veselago, Daan Van Kampenhout and many others in the field of Constellations, Rituals and Ceremony.

Ceremony, journey

It’s hard to summarize how all 30+ years of my life have resulted in me holding ceremony space for others. 
The dreamtime journeys have always been there. I’ve always held space for other’s emotional processing. I found myself in ritualistic and ceremonial spaces over and over, some that I don’t even fully remember how I ended up there. And then I’ve learnt to connect with my ancestral lineages and tap into the knowing flowing through me through them.

Constellations work gave me the structure to work more with the Knowing Field, while tapping into what is beyond me and practicing that ‘being a vessel’ more consistently and in wider ranges of reach. 
Taking training on Closing the Bones ceremony (and experiencing it) and being with Taya Shopen, from EarthyBirth, and the group of women in the circle and the land and the river, brought a few more puzzle pieces to light. All the years of collecting and experiencing and being in the ‘strangest’ of places and processes now simply make me feel fully self, fully in my place, in my element. 
There will be loads more learnings ahead and I am looking forward.

I am in awe of this work every day. And of beauty and weaving of each person.

STURDINESS and presence

I grew up in an environment where I was grounding and co-regulating nervous systems for others. Later on I learnt to do that from choice and love for humans, rather than the necessity and role that was put onto me. And I am extremely grateful for having developed the capacity.

Holding people through a lot, the big emotions, the deeply stored discomforts & memories, tender moments, anxieties, darkness, and in the deep processing that takes place in the body as well as the mind is something I’ve been honoured to do as work and circumstantially for over 10 years now.

In the past, I’ve worked primarily with men and individuals with a strong need to ‘fall apart’, ‘collapse’, to let go of weight, expectations, shame, aggression, numbness, piles and piles of built-up *something* that wasn’t even clear to name. I got to sit with, give space and let them feel accompanied on their journeys. And then from spaciousness, ease, joy, love and creation can happen. 

My approach in my daily connections, in ceremony and in Constellations processes is about bypassing the logical brain and tapping into the knowing in the body, in the heart and our field, while having a solid space to hold all that arises. 

At an event earlier this year a long term friend of mine was asked by another person we were meeting for the first time to describe me. And he didn’t say I was easygoing or nice, or fun…. He said along the lines of “Yana can meet you in the deep & dark and help you to get to a just OK place.”  I hold that very dearly in my heart. And of course I also assist people from OK to more.

Hopefully this gives you a feel of who I am as a person and a facilitator.
