Transformative Mentoring  ​
   —​support during life's challenges
      
Yana Castle, PhD offers an East/West approach to her mentoring practice.

Mentoring
With more than twenty years of mentoring and counseling experience, I offer compassionate support as a spiritual ally, inviting you to explore your deepest aspirations, develop your strengths, and connect with the sacred presence within. Together, we cultivate a safe, nurturing environment where your growth and authentic self-expression can unfold with clarity and confidence.

Hypnotherapy
Through hypnotherapy and personalized guided visualizations, I help you access the deeper layers of the subconscious to release outdated patterns, fears, and limitations—opening pathways to insight and freedom. As the founder of Repatterning Hypnosis, I have supported hundreds of individuals in making meaningful inner shifts and discovering new ways of thinking, being, and living with greater ease, confidence, and authenticity.

Energy Work
My work draws from a range of practices that calm the mind and harmonize the subtle body. I am also trained to guide shamanic journeys, imaginal exploration through visualization and dream inquiry, and other transformational processes that support integration, balance, and inner alignment.
​

Western Methods
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) / Parts Therapy
  • Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) / Tapping
  • Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)
  • Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR)    

Eastern Wisdom
Rooted in Buddhist psychology and the Four Noble Truths, my work is guided by the understanding that suffering is an intrinsic part of the human experience. I focus on cultivating wisdom, compassion, and the path to liberation, helping you recognize the sources of your suffering and explore ways to increase self-awareness, ease, and freedom. I draw upon mindfulness, yoga philosophy, Tibetan dream yoga, meditation, and the Tibetan Bön tradition, working with the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—to transform confusion, discomfort, and inner struggle into insight, balance, and increased understanding.



If you’d like to learn more or arrange a complimentary introductory meeting to see whether working together feels right for you, please contact me through my contact page. Sessions are 60 minutes and take place on Zoom.
I think what we're seeking
is an experience of being alive,
so that our life experiences
on the purely physical plane
will have resonances
with our own innermost being and reality,
so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.

— Joseph Campbell
