These undeniably painful times are a call to all of us to search our hearts and act in a way that creates meaningful change so that collectively we can build a more just and equitable world.

Here at Yinova, we are committed to being a voice against systemic racism and Police Brutality as well as the fear and division that we are all currently experiencing. As this landscape continues to evolve, we will continue to be transparent and communicate the ways in which we are offering support, solidarity, and love to our community and beyond.

Additionally, as healers, we are devoted to caring for our community in any and all ways that we can. If you are feeling anxious or overwhelmed and would like to speak to someone, please reach out to us. We are here to support you.
