Yana Kabirova

hello. Let's meet.

I remember being about 4 or 5 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 all to have support and feel empowered and be living with trust. It is a bit of a wild goal of a global change, but what we can think, we can create.

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.

I am in awe of this work every day. The potency of Constellations is so beautiful and gives me lots of hope.

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 really strive for that. And of course I also assist people from OK to thriving, but being able to be with people from the darkness into some light has truly always been the greatest gift.

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