Olga Yahontova, also known as Olga Kharitidi, is a trained psychiatrist from Siberia. In search of knowledge hidden within traditional cultures, she has traveled extensively through Europe, Asia, and Africa. Her first book, Entering the Circle, has become a classical introduction to the reality of shamanic practices and has been published in more than twenty countries. Her follow up books continued her exploration of healing stories and presented a radically new approach to the healing of traumas.
She has worked as a forensic psychiatrist in a facility for the criminally insane.
She also served as the Medical Director for a residential trauma treatment program at Promises Malibu, where she continued to implement her unique approach to healing trauma.
In addition to her medical background, she has earned a certification from MIT in blockchain and AI technology, preparing her to lead the transition towards digital shamanism.
She lives in Santa Fe, NM.
