About Us - Yohana

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLE

Well-being is at the heart of everything we do

Yohana matches you with a team to help you make space for the important things.

OUR FOUNDER

Focusing on what

matters most

Yoky Matsuoka has always been motivated by a desire to create technology and solutions that allow people to be who they want to be. It’s why, as a professor, she worked to combine neuroscience and robotics in a way that had never been done before. It’s why she started a foundation to help kids and adults overcome physical and learning challenges. And it’s why she headed to Silicon Valley where she could put her research into practice – co-founding Google X, developing the Nest Learning Thermostat, and playing pivotal roles at Apple and Google in healthcare.

Now she’s laser-focused on building technology powered by human connection to help busy families find more balance, prioritize well-being, and be more present for each other.

As a mom of four juggling a fast-paced life at home and at work, Yoky understands all too well what it means to be overloaded. In creating Yohana’s first offering – a family membership service powered by real humans – she strives to help parents do things better and get them done sooner, so they can be present for the moments that really matter.

OUR SHARED VISION

Yohana + Panasonic

In perfect harmony

Panasonic calls it a balance of being; Yohana calls it being present for what matters most. Two sides of the same coin.

In perfect harmony

Panasonic calls it a balance of being; Yohana calls it being present for what matters most. Two sides of the same coin.

As one of the world’s first purpose-driven brands, Panasonic manufactures innovations that have revolutionized day-to-day tasks – from washing machines to electric vehicle batteries. In 1918, Panasonic founder Konosuke Matsushita promised that the company would “devote ourselves to the progress and development of society and the well-being of people.”

A distinct and independent subsidiary, with the support and funding of Panasonic, Yohana is guided by that same vision and promise. Together, Yohana and Panasonic are creating services and products that continue to move us forward and make life easier for the modern family.
