Ciana is a young Mum to her 1-year-old daughter Freya, and with her partner having an indigenous background, she is keen to learn more through connection and spirit by growing friendships and developing a greater overall understanding of culture.

Yamani Meaning and Background
Yamani written in Wulguru language means ‘Rainbow’. Originating from the people of Manbarra (Palm Island Group of Isles). Manbarra are the Traditional Owners of Palm Island located in North Queensland.
The Rainbow Serpent dreaming in Aboriginal society, represents one of the great and powerful forces of nature and spirit. Connected to water, the Rainbow Serpent is the great Life Giver and protector of water which is his spiritual home.
Our work with First Peoples is continuing to grow, with our office located in Townsville, QLD servicing the Queensland region. Our own leadership is deeply submerged in culture working closely with many individuals and organisations. We are consistently embracing a shared understanding and the opportunities presented to form greater and mutually respectful partnerships.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
