Why YANA?
Our Story
YANA was born from a shared understanding between a father and daughter — two people who found recovery in different seasons of life, and in their own ways.
My father found his path out of addiction at the end of 2012. I followed years later, and today I stand more than three years into my own recovery. Our journeys were not identical, but they were deeply connected — shaped by the same belief that healing is a living process, one that unfolds differently for every person.
YANA grew from that belief.
Our work is grounded in evidence-based practice, informed by psychology, neuroscience, and lived experience. We create spaces where recovery can continue to deepen — where individuals are supported in understanding their patterns, their nervous systems, their values, and the lives they are actively building.
We believe recovery is not only about abstinence. It is about cultivating a life that feels meaningful, connected, and sustainable. Community sits at the heart of YANA — not as a by-product of what we do, but as its foundation. Healing unfolds in relationship: with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us.
YANA is a space for growth, integration, and intentional living within recovery.

Our Mission
We support individuals in established recovery who are ready to deepen their relationship with themselves and the lives they are creating.
Through thoughtfully curated experiences, we offer environments where reflection, connection, and personal growth are not just encouraged — they are built into every aspect of what we do. Participants are invited to explore their values, strengthen self-awareness, and invest intentionally in the many dimensions of a fulfilling life.
Our work integrates psychological insight, creative exploration, and community-based learning to support a richer, more expansive understanding of what recovery can be.
YANA does not replace clinical treatment or early recovery support. We exist to enrich the recovery journey - offering spaces that encourage continued growth, meaning, and connection for those who are ready.
Retreats
Our personalised retreats are thoughtfully curated to support sustainable recovery and long-term wellbeing. Through psychoeducation, reflective group discussions, creative practices, and restorative experiences, participants are invited to deepen their self-understanding and strengthen the foundations of their recovery.
Each retreat is intentionally designed to provide individuals with practical tools, meaningful connection, and space for integration - supporting not only recovery, but the life being built within it.
Certified Professionals
Each retreat is supported by a team of experienced facilitators who bring psychological insight, lived experience, and compassionate guidance. Through this shared expertise, individuals are offered meaningful tools, reflection, and support for sustainable recovery and long-term wellbeing.
Supportive Community
At YANA, we cultivate a thoughtful and supportive community where individuals can connect through shared experience, reflection, and growth. These spaces are designed to foster meaningful relationships and support sustainable recovery and long-term wellbeing.
