A lifetime of emotional healing.
ABOUT
ME
Hi, I'm Yanira, Your Bilingual Holistic
Divorce Coach.
You’ve probably landed here because divorce is not just something on paper for you — it’s real, heavy, personal, and it’s shaking up your world.
I get it. I really do, because I lived it.
I went through my own painful separation — and because I didn’t have the tools, the guidance, or the emotional support I needed at the time, I lost 11 years of my son’s life. He is my only child.
Searching for my own answers, I spent 25 years working within the divorce world, watching smart, capable people become overwhelmed by fear, grief, anger, and uncertainty.
I saw people make life-changing decisions while emotionally exhausted and disconnected from themselves. Eventually, I realized that my calling was bigger than the paperwork.
I wanted to become the person I once needed — someone who could help others navigate the emotional weight of divorce with clarity, compassion, and intention.
Because divorce doesn’t begin with the legal action. It begins in the nervous system. And when emotions are unmanaged, the consequences can last a lifetime.
This is why I do this work.
With depth. With honesty. With reverence for what is truly at stake.

“I am a family law attorney who met Yanira professionally. A few months ago one of my clients came in distraught and depressed about the fate of his marriage. As a lawyer, I have no training in the therapeutic areas but many of my clients are emotional in dealing with these important aspects of their lives. I sent this client to Yanira because I was honestly concerned he may self-harm. The next time I saw him, he was a changed man with a positive perspective on life. I will continue to refer to her! “

My clients relate to her well and Ms. Mendoza’s communication skills allow her to connect with the clients. I highly recommend her to my colleagues.”

A Journey Rooted in Healing
My journey into holistic healing began in 2011, when I became a Certified Reiki Practitioner and Feng Shui Practitioner. Through these practices, I discovered the powerful connection between our emotional well-being, our mindset, and the energy we create around us.
After 25 years of working as a divorce paralegal, I realized that people needed far more than legal guidance. They needed emotional support, clarity, and someone who understood the human side of divorce. That realization led me to become a Certified Life Coach in 2012 and later a Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Coach.
In 2020, I left my paralegal career to dedicate myself fully to helping people navigate the emotional side of divorce and life transitions.
Today, I bring together 25+ years of divorce experience, coaching, mindset work, and holistic healing to help clients move through divorce with greater clarity, emotional strength, and intention.
While I do not provide legal advice, my experience allows me to help clients understand the divorce process in clear, simple terms — so they can feel less overwhelmed and more prepared for what lies ahead.
Spiritually Grounded Approach
Every client’s story is different, which is why my approach is never one-size-fits-all. The healing modalities I offer are gentle, supportive, and always tailored to your personal needs and comfort level.
By blending emotional support, spiritual healing, mindset coaching, and real-world divorce experience, I guide you as a whole person, not just through the process of divorce, but through the process of rebuilding yourself afterward.
Everything You Need for your Divorce Healing Journey — In One Place.
I don’t just coach divorce.
I help heal hearts.”
When you’re moving through heartbreak, your heart doesn’t just hurt… it longs for a safe place to rest, to breathe, and to trust again.
My sessions incorporate Reiki, crystal healing, and intentional energetic practices to support you in releasing emotional heaviness, reconnecting with yourself, and creating space for healing.
Through cord-cutting ceremonies, I also help clients consciously release lingering emotional attachments and close a chapter at its deepest level — not just on paper, but within.
In my darkest moments, when I felt completely lost, I found strength and love through holistic practices. My faith in God is my foundation, but I deeply respect that everyone’s spiritual journey is different. I believe healing should bring you closer to your own faith, beliefs, and inner guidance — whatever that may look like for you.
If you’re going through divorce, heartbreak, or uncertainty, I want you to know something very simple:
You are not alone.
Whether your source of strength is faith, spirituality, prayer, intuition, or simply a desire to reconnect with yourself, I will meet you where you are — without judgment, without expectations, and without asking you to believe what I believe.
I guide you with presence, intuition, compassion, and spiritual grounding, so you can reconnect with the strength that has always lived within you.
You don’t have to carry this alone.
