Yara is a Survival/bushcraft/archery instructor managing camps in the UK and abroad. 

Yara first encountered survival in the rainforests of South East Asia whilst living with tribal cultures as a teenager. By her twenties, and after spending further time living with rainforest communities, she had learned specific & vital skills on how to survive in the rainforest using only a machete. Since these jungle experiences, Yara had began a journey into the lives of self-sufficient cultures which are dependant on nature to survive.

She spent time with Shamans in the Amazon studying medicinal plants as she has a keen interest in the healing power of plants. As an environmental & human rights campaigner, she raises awareness on tribal land rights, rainforest & woodland conservation & nature therapies.

She helped to build an Orang-utan rehabilitation Centre in a Wildlife Reserve in Borneo.

Yara founded the Natural Healing Show on UK Health Radio, a platform raising awareness on natural healing and the natural world. She is a big advocate on the physical & mental healing benefits of spending time around trees, woodlands and nature.
