Yulia Van Doren is a bestselling author, internationally acclaimed classical singer, and the founder of Goldirocks. Widely recognized as one of the pioneers of the modern crystal movement, her work has brought crystals out of niche spiritual spaces and into the cultural mainstream.

Her Modern Guide to Crystal Healing series is the #1 bestselling crystal series published in the last decade. With over a quarter million copies sold worldwide, the books are translated into multiple languages and have introduced a wide audience to the beauty and symbolism of the mineral world.

Yulia founded Goldirocks in 2015 via Instagram, where her distinctive blend of intuitive guidance and modern aesthetics quickly attracted a global audience, and led to collaborations with companies including Nordstrom and Anthropologie on their first co-branded crystal collections.

Alongside her work with crystals and gemstones, Yulia maintains an international career as a classical singer, and is widely regarded as one of the leading interpreters of her generation. She has performed with the majority of top orchestras including the Cleveland Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Los Angeles Philharmonic, and is a featured soloist on several Grammy nominated recordings.

In addition to her formal training in music and voice, she has studied consciousness, sound healing, and energy modalities with leading teachers around the world, and gemology with the Gemological Institute of America.

Yulia lives in the golden foothills of Northern California with her musician husband, and a rainbow abundance of crystals.
