ABOUT ME

Hello — I’m Yanira Your Bilingual Holistic Divorce Coach.
You’ve probably landed here because divorce isn’t just something on paper for you — it’s real, heavy, personal, and shaking up your world. I get it. I really get it — 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.


That loss wasn’t loud or sudden. 
It was slow. Quiet. Disorienting.
 The kind of loss where the world keeps moving, but you don’t. I don’t share this for sympathy. 
I share it because it changed the trajectory of my life. And I refuse to let that be someone else’s story.

 

Looking for my own answers, I worked inside the divorce world as a paralegal, watching smart, capable people fall into the same traps: overwhelmed by emotion, misinformed about their options, and making decisions from fear instead of clarity. I stayed for 25 years, but the calling to support, guide and heal others was stronger so I left my office to become the person who will hold your hand until the end of your process.


My calling has the goal to make sure no one else walks blindly through one of the most emotionally vulnerable moments of their life — making decisions that can separate them from themselves, from their children, or from their future. Because here is the truth most people don’t want to face:
 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.

Just because your past did not turn out like you wanted it to, it does not mean your future can’t be better than you ever imagined. 

Certifications:

With each session my clients obtain over 25 years of experience as divorce paralegal supporting clients through divorce, I explain the entire process — from beginning to end — in clear, simple terms.

After a life-changing Reiki session that brought deep personal healing, I knew I wanted others to experience that same transformation. I became a certified Reiki practitioner and began using this gentle yet powerful modality in my coaching sessions when appropriate.

This experience opened new doors. In 2012, I earned my Life Coach Certification so I could support not only those navigating divorce, but anyone who needs to be heard, guided, and reminded of their true worth. And 5 years ago I obtained my certification as Neurolinguistic Programming Coach, trained to help you navigate emotional challenges, limiting beliefs and grieving processes both related and unrelated to divorce.

TESTIMONIALS

“I was totally lost. Finding and Working with Yanira has been a truly healing experience. It was incredibly difficult for me to feel safe with and trust others, but Yanira creates a space that feels genuinely warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. She was more like a sister. Her gentle presence and deep empathy made it possible for me to open up quickly, in ways I never thought I could. She never judged me the way others would. She's also remarkably flexible, always meeting me at my convenience . I’m so grateful for the sense of safety and trust she has helped me build. because of her I am doing way better than couple of month ago. Yanira is a wonderful Coach and anyone who chooses to work with her would be blessed.”

“Yanira came into my life during the most painful time I’ve ever experienced, on my sister’s recommendation. From the time my husband passed away until today, her support has been fundamental in my grieving process.

She helped me understand spiritually that he is still here, within us, and to see my reality with greater awareness and love. She supported me in gradually returning to what is essential: my two children, for whom I need to keep going.

With great sensitivity, respect, and honesty, she helps me stay grounded without invalidating my pain. Her support has been and continues to be a light in the darkness. I highly recommend her.


Thank you so much, Yanira.”
