In the village of Niagassola in northern Guinea, the Kouyaté family of griots guards a wooden balafon known as the Sosso-Bala, said to date back to the thirteenth century. For generations, griots in this tradition have performed the epic of Sunjata and other oral histories, carrying a community's memory from one voice to the next. UNESCO recognized the cultural space of the Sosso-Bala as a masterpiece of humanity's oral and intangible heritage in 2001 and inscribed it on its Representative List in 2008.
People have always learned from each other's stories. When you consider a See Your Aura scan, the experiences of people who have already had one can help you understand what the process is like and what it can mean in a life. Here is why client stories matter, how storytelling traditions around the world honor lived experience, what the stories of See Your Aura clients show, how to read any testimonial wisely and how client stories are shared on this site.
Why client stories matter
A description of a service tells you what is included. A client story shows you what it was like. Stories can help you understand:
- how the remote process felt from the client's side;
- what people noticed when they watched their before-and-after videos;
- which parts of Yvette's interpretation resonated;
- how clients used their report in daily life;
- what it was like to work with Yvette.
Stories describe real personal experience. Each one is individual, and together they offer a picture of the range of experiences people have.
Honoring lived experience around the world
West Africa: the griot's voice
In Mande culture, griots are keepers of history and story. The Sosso-Bala tradition shows how a community trusts the spoken experience of generations to carry what matters. Its guardians begin teaching the balafon to children from about the age of seven, so that the stories continue.
Belarus: a chorus of ordinary voices
In 2015, the Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexievich received the Nobel Prize in Literature "for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time." Her books are built from interviews with ordinary people, assembled into what she calls documentary novels. Her work shows how many individual voices, gathered together, can reveal a truth no single account could hold.
The United States: standards for testimonials
The US Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements asks that testimonials reflect the genuine opinions and experiences of the people giving them, that any material connection be disclosed, that health claims be supported and that atypical results be made clear. These principles protect both the people telling their stories and the people reading them.
The griots of Niagassola, Alexievich's chorus of voices and modern advertising standards all respect the same idea: a person's lived experience has value, and it deserves to be shared faithfully.
What See Your Aura clients have shared
The weak spot beside the electrical box
A client in Szeged, Hungary, always felt exhausted shortly after starting work. Her aura scan showed weakness in the exact area of her body that sat next to an electrical box with cables beside her work table. After she moved her workspace, she noticed her energy rise and her mental fog lift. She was also struck that weak areas in her field corresponded with old injuries she had not mentioned on her intake.
The morning he woke clear
A man in Canada, whose wife had booked scans for them both, woke unusually early one morning with a strong sense of cleared energy before he knew the energizing had taken place. When he later watched his before-and-after videos, he said he was very impressed with how accurately they reflected areas of past trauma and injury. He also followed Yvette's advice to drink plenty of water and rest in the days afterwards, and found her follow-up conversation helpful.
The genuine sample scan
The anonymized sample scan on this site shows pink across the chest, throat, shoulders and upper back, with a more evenly filled field after energizing. Its report excerpt reflects on responsibility, expression and rest. Seeing a complete, real example is one of the most useful ways to understand what you will receive.
Each of these experiences is individual. They show different ways people have found meaning in their scans, from a change to a workspace to a new understanding of old injuries.
Where energy work meets personal experience
Energy work is experienced from the inside. Clients may notice calm, lightness, clarity, emotion or nothing in particular, and they bring their own history to what they see in their visualization. That is why personal stories are so central to energy practices around the world. A client story is a wellness experience told in the client's own words. It is not a medical outcome, and it is not a promise that anyone else will have the same experience.
How to read any testimonial wisely
Look for specifics. Detailed stories about the process, what was seen and what the person did afterwards are more informative than general praise.
Notice what the story describes. Is it about the service, the visualization, the interpretation or the person's own feelings? Each tells you something different.
Read several stories. A range of experiences gives a fuller picture than any single account.
Check that stories are shared with consent. Trustworthy providers share clients' words with permission and protect their privacy.
Look for a genuine sample. Stories and a real example together give you the clearest understanding.
Keep health decisions with your health team. A wellness story is not a substitute for medical advice.
How client stories are shared on See Your Aura
- With permission: client stories are shared with each client's permission.
- With privacy: some clients share their name and country, and others ask for their name to be withheld. Photographs are never used publicly without separate written permission.
- In the client's own words: stories are condensed for length while keeping their meaning.
- Clearly labeled: stories are presented as individual experiences, and illustrations drawn from patterns seen in many clients are labeled as illustrations.
What clients say about working with Yvette
Many client stories speak as much about the relationship as about the scan. A client in Canada wrote simply, "I felt heard, validated, and hopeful again." Niki, in Szeged, described Yvette's "kindness, compassion, and selflessly sharing her outstanding knowledge with everyone" as "evident in all she does." Feeling seen and respected is part of what makes a scan meaningful.

Where this leaves us
The griots of Niagassola carry eight centuries of story on a single balafon. Svetlana Alexievich gathered ordinary voices into a Nobel Prize-winning chorus. Modern advertising standards ask that every testimonial reflect a real person's genuine experience. Across cultures, stories are one of the ways people share what they have lived.
The stories of See Your Aura clients offer a window into what a 360° biofield scan can be like, from a workspace changed to an old injury recognized. Your own experience will be yours alone. If you had a scan, what would you hope your own story might say?
