Meet Your Nuurvana Healers
Dr. Deganit Nuur
Deganit is a clairvoyant, acupuncturist, author of IMAGINE, and founder of the Nuurvana Method™—named one of the “Top 15 Intuitives Worldwide” by goop.
Dr. Deganit Nuur is a world-renowned spiritual teacher, clairvoyant intuitive, doctor of acupuncture and Oriental medicine, writer, and speaker. She is the founder of the Nuurvana Method™ of Healing and the creator of Nu IT School, an intuition training program that has helped thousands access their inner knowing with clarity and confidence.
Named one of the “Top 15 Intuitives Worldwide” by goop, Dr. Nuur has been featured in Forbes, Vogue, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Good Morning America, and the Today Show. She currently serves as a resident healer at the Four Seasons Hotels in New York and Los Angeles, and teaches globally at events including In Goop Health, Summit Series, and private corporate wellness experiences.
Deganit has been in practice for over 19 years, has conducted more than 23,000 healing sessions, and has trained over 5,000 students in intuitive development and energy work. She began teaching while still in acupuncture school, where she was known for her uncanny ability to intuit the root cause of even the most difficult cases. While most practitioners rely on the client’s narrative, Dr. Nuur’s clairvoyance allows her to access the energetic, emotional, and karmic blueprint beneath the surface—often offering insight clients haven’t yet articulated themselves.
She got into this work by accident. Rejected from dental school and seeking healing during a difficult life chapter, she stumbled across a visualization practice that changed her life. The practice not only helped her feel better—it awakened her intuitive gifts. Her first-ever reading was on her now-colleague and forever bestie Tim, whose encouragement helped her step out of the spiritual closet. Word-of-mouth referrals quickly turned her side hobby into a thriving business.
Dr. Nuur is also the author of the forthcoming book IMAGINE (September 2025), co-written with anthropologist Dr. Tim Murphy. The book guides readers through seven visualization tools inspired by the curriculum of the Nu IT School and offers accessible practices for clarity, confidence, and spiritual alignment.
Your Nuurvana Healers
Illi Gallardo
Illi is a teacher and healer for Nuurvana’s Be Light and Alchemy of Entrepreneurship program with advanced training in Family Constellation Therapy, Reiki, and sound healing.
Illi is a beloved teacher and healer in the Nuurvana community, known for her radiant presence, grounded wisdom, and fierce devotion to spiritual transformation. She joined Nuurvana in 2020 as a Guiding Light for the inaugural Be Light Program and has since mentored dozens of students and Nuurvana-certified psychics through their deepest awakenings.
Deganit and Illi have known each other since Illi was a teenager— before she fully stepped into her intuitive gifts. Though she was quietly spiritual, it wasn’t until a devastating personal loss that Illi began actively studying energy healing and reclaiming her psychic abilities.
When Be Light was first created, Deganit invited her to co-lead the program. Part of teaching included offering psychic readings, and through that, Illi’s confidence blossomed. Since then, she’s continued to grow her offerings and training—adding healing modalities and leading with deep compassion and care.
With advanced training in Family Constellation Therapy, Reiki, and sound healing—and a lived journey through grief and reconnection to purpose— Illi is a powerful doula for the soul. She teaches Alchemy of Entrepreneurship, guides students as the house mother in the Be Light Program, and offers insight and support during Nuurvana’s monthly Psychic Healing Circles. She helps others remember who they truly are and why they’re here.
