In late 2018, on December 6th, The Yuniverse was founded by Stephen Matthew Woolfolk-Bonner, born from both love and necessity.

At the time, Stephen was witnessing his partner endure debilitating anxiety attacks, some lasting over three hours. Conventional solutions offered little relief. But something remarkable happened: when she turned toward herbal remedies, breathwork, and mindfulness practices, the storm began to quiet.
 

Fascinated by these transformations, Stephen immersed himself in research, exploring how the body, mind, and spirit could be supported through preventive wellness rather than reactive treatment. His partner, equally inspired, devoted over 2,000 hours to studying holistic modalities: herbalism, Yoga Nidra, sound healing, somatic regulation, and nervous system balance.

Together, they began to weave something bigger than either of them, a vision of a living ecosystem that connects Herbalism, Community, Mindfulness, and Innovation. They imagined a world where people could access preventive wellness from their homes, connect with compassionate practitioners, learn to self-regulate, and rediscover harmony through nature and technology in tandem.
 

What began as a personal healing journey grew into The Yuniverse, a holistic sanctuary designed to help others regulate, restore, and thrive.
It is a reflection of their shared belief that wellness isn’t a luxury or a trend, it’s our birthright. And when people are given the right tools, knowledge, and community, they don’t just heal, they evolve.
