Holistic wellbeing • Nature • Connection
Welcome to YANAGaia
YANAGaia brings together holistic wellbeing, connection with nature and gentle, person-centred support. A space to slow down, reconnect and explore what supports your wellbeing — in a way that feels right for you.
Ways to connect with YANAGaia
Nature & Forest
Step away from the noise and reconnect with the natural world. Through forest bathing, mindful walking, seasonal nature connection and gentle outdoor practices, I create space to slow down, breathe and simply be.
AstroReiki & Holistic Wellbeing
A personalised approach to Reiki that brings together energy work, astrology, sound therapy and aromatherapy. Your astrological profile helps inform the essential oils chosen for your session, creating a restorative experience shaped around you, with space to pause, rest and reconnect.
Neurodivergent Community & Support
A welcoming space for late-diagnosed and late-identified Autistic and ADHD adults to connect with others who understand. Through NeuroRoots Wildly Wired, nature-based peer support and shared experiences create opportunities for belonging, connection and simply being yourself — without pressure or judgement.
The meaning behind YANAGaia
The name YANAGaia began with a phrase that stayed with me — You Are Not Alone — somewhat unexpectedly inspired by Doctor Who! It became my Instagram name and, over time, took on a much deeper meaning.
Through my own journey from mental health struggles to understanding my neurodivergence, feeling alone has been a familiar experience. YANAGaia brings You Are Not Alone together with Gaia — our living Earth. It reflects connection with ourselves, with one another and a recognition that we are not separate from nature — we are nature.

1-to-1 Support
Personalised wellbeing, mentoring and advocacy support, shaped around what you need. Sessions can take place in nature, by video call or at an agreed community venue, with a free 30-minute initial conversation to explore whether working together feels right.
AstroReiki
AstroReiki is a personalised 1.5 to 2 hour wellbeing experience combining Reiki, astrology, sound and aromatherapy. Before your session, I use your astrological profile to help select essential oils that compliment you. Reiki is often used to support deep relaxation, ease tension and create a sense of calm, which can be particularly welcome when living with stress, discomfort or persistent pain. The session offers time to slow down, rest and reconnect, with each element brought together around you rather than following a fixed formula.
A Little About Me
Hello, I’m Joanne
YANAGaia has grown from my own journey of finding ways to live more gently, authentically and in tune with who I am. My path has brought together nature, holistic wellbeing, neurodivergence and a deep belief in the importance of feeling heard, understood and connected.
My background spans health and wellbeing, peer support, counselling and active listening, alongside my work as a Forest School Leader, Outdoor Mental Health Practitioner and Reiki Master. I bring these different strands together to create supportive spaces that are warm, down-to-earth and centred around the individual.
Whether we meet in the woods, through NeuroRoots, or in a one-to-one session, my approach is simple: no pressure, no judgement, and space to just be.
