1:1 Sessions
Yervika’s 1:1 sessions support people in learning how to listen and tune into the wisdom of the natural world. Through somatic nature-based practices, as well as learning about herbs, we’ll root in the reality of our inherent interconnection with nature and uncover new ways of being that can unlock our inner healer and connect us back to our truest selves.
Why this? Why now?
Modernity, capitalism, colonialism, and current-day social structures have disconnected us from nature, from ourselves, and from each other, leading to heightened feelings of powerlessness, isolation, high levels of stress, feelings and symptoms of burnout, and a nervous system that is dysregulated more often than not.
The times we are living in are demanding something different from us: they are demanding that we adopt different ways of being, different ways of living, and different ways of understanding and relating to the world around us.
Yervika’s 1:1 sessions are designed to support you in moving away from old paradigms and towards new ones that are rooted in relationship and connection. This journey inherently unlocks your inner wisdom and helps you reclaim your power so that you can best show up for yourself and in community to respond to the profound shifts that are taking place in our world.
What will sessions entail?
1:1 sessions are tailored towards the interests, needs, and concerns of each individual person. That being said, there are a few throughlines that we maintain in order to stay true to Yervika’s overall vision and goals.
During sessions, we will learn:
how to build a relationship with the natural world, including the process of (re-)learning to listen
an orientation to plants as living beings with important wisdom and guidance to offer us
practices to support nervous system and stress reduction, including breathwork techniques and nature-based meditations
how to tap into the wisdom of herbs, understanding and experiencing their role as ancestors (plantcestors), spiritual guides, and healers for human beings
the virtues/properties of herbs, including herbs that come up through our sessions
various herbal preparations and their recipes
Tools we’ll use
The tools we’ll use will help you access the wisdom and healing that is meant for you so that you can show up in the ways you are being called to.
These include:
Guided meditation: we’ll employ nature-based guided meditations that will help to calm your mind/body/spirit and support you in re-connecting to nature and feeling a sense of belonging to a greater whole
Journaling: we’ll use the tool of journaling (writing) to support you in processing your thoughts and feelings. This modality will enable you to uncover new insights and realizations, record your evolution, and it will help you tap into and access your inner wisdom
Somatic nature-based practices: we will implement practices in/with nature that will help you draw upon the healing properties of the natural world. We’ll learn how to co-regulate our nervous systems with nature to be able to access more calm and grounding more frequently
Interaction with plants: you’ll be guided in how to form and deepen your relationship with plants by interacting with them. We’ll focus on specific plants that are calling you in for healing, growth, and expansion, and you’ll be guided in learning how to listen. This practice is part of getting back into right relationship with the natural world around us
Herbal medicine making: we will make herbal preparations together to support your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. These preparations range from herbal teas, tinctures, oxymels, glycerites, oils, salves, and more. What we make (type of herbal preparation) and what we make it with (herbs that go into it) is tailored towards your current needs and interests. Safety precautions will be taught as well

What people are saying
“The time I spend with the herbs through Danièle’s guidance has been so precious. I have had the opportunity to learn how to commune with the herbs and to honor their spirit. I was able to arrive to recognising on a deep level the ever lasting friendship that we as humans have with the herbs, a reciprocal friendship that has been severed by capitalism and colonialism. A sense of joy and reconnection with land arises simultaneously with the opportunity to grieve the loss of the severing felt crucial for my spiritual growth and expansion. I learned how to listen to the plants and what medicine they bring to my body and heart and soul, as well as what I can offer for them, a relationship that is far from being exploitative to herbs, a relationship built on reciprocation and love. Bringing myself to this mindful and respectful level helped me feel much more supported and cared for by plant spirits, a wholesome experience that only when I experienced, it helped me see how lacking I was of such connection. I am so grateful for Danièle’s teachings and I appreciate how flexible she is in her ability to center my needs. I always look forward to our herbal connection sessions and I highly recommend opening yourself to it.”
“What Danièle shared in the session opened my eyes to a deeper level of understanding around my cultural heritage and stirred an exploration around plants and herbs that I have never thought about. Danièle has a way of sharing her deep wisdom around herbalism that is practical, easy to understand, and engaging. For anyone interested to explore the healing power of plants, I highly recommend taking Danièle’s programs and services! ”
