Empowering Individuals to heal on their own terms in their own way.

Lalenya Yahnke, the founder of Clearview Works, lived a complex life full of

continuous cycles of abuse from people she loved. From a young age, she

possessed a unique understanding of the darkness that resided within her

abusers' souls. Despite the pain they inflicted upon her, she chose not to

hate them; rather to empathize with their pain and life challenges. She loved them and

longed to help them heal.
 

She discovered that people only change if they truly desired to do so and she recognized the need for inspiration to ignite thier desire for change in others. However, with her own traumatic experiences and the constant challenges of her own survival, it seemed impossible for her to find a way to achieve this.
 

Lalenya found strength to go through her mother's belongings after her passing and discovered a manilla envelope dated on her 7th birthday. Inside, she found a copyrighted design for a self-sustaining greenhouse her mother had envisioned in the 90s.

The greenhouse was intended to provide the community with healthy, natural

food. Despite her mother's abusive behavior, Lalenya recognized her mother's

desire to be a better person and contribute to healing the world.
 

Witnessing her mother's unsuccessful battle with cancer, Lalenya resolved not

to follow the same path of Western medicine. Embracing alternative healing

methods and modalities, she experienced significant improvements in her own health and well-being. 
 

Realizing the high costs of alternative healing with the lack

of insurance coverage. Considering all the sacrifices her family had

made for her own healing, Lalenya started to understand that many others faced

similar challenges. With statistics showing a mere 4-6% success rate in

breaking free from abusive cycles, she felt compelled to take action.

Thus, Lalenya's mission became clear — to tell her life story in an abstract

manner, indirectly educating others about the collateral damage caused by abuse

and the generational passing of trauma. She founded the nonprofit organization

Clearview Works, taking inspiration from her mother's surname. The name

"Clearview" symbolism of her mother's longing for clarity, and the

greenhouse from her design became the symbol of hope — Clearview Works.

 

​Lalenya plans to document her journey starting on May 1st, 2027, riding a

motorcycle across the nation in documentary form, and aims to raise

awareness about alternative healing methods and modalities, opening minds to

the possibilities beyond Western medicine. Her ultimate goal is to transform

her mother's visionary greenhouse into a trauma rehabilitation center, where

individuals seeking healing can find solace and support at little to no cost.

 

​Lalenya firmly believes that healing should be accessible to all, along with

the knowledge needed to embark on that journey. She understands that many

individuals in abusive cycles feel trapped and overwhelmed by the

sacrifices required not make the necessary changes for healing. By sharing her story and building Clearview Works, Lalenya hopes to break this cycle and offer a path to recovery for those who are willing to walk that path themselves
