Emiliya Ursova

Emiliya Ursova is the founder of VivaCore, a digital health and wellness platform supporting people facing cancer and other serious health challenges through mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, movement, nutrition, and other supportive well-being practices. Her work is deeply informed by personal experience. After being diagnosed with advanced lymphoma nearly two decades ago, Emiliya incorporated meditation, breathwork, visualization, gratitude, and other mind-body practices alongside her medical treatment. That experience inspired her long-term commitment to helping others navigate the emotional challenges that can accompany a cancer diagnosis. Today, she develops and facilitates virtual supportive wellness programming, with a particular focus on helping people manage fear, anxiety, and uncertainty and build practical mindfulness skills they can use in everyday life. She is also the founder of Finding Steady Ground, a weekly conversation and support initiative for people facing cancer. Emiliya has more than 30 years of experience in technology and leadership and previously served as a technology executive before founding VivaCore.
