About Me

Hi! I’m Tanya

Nurturing nervous systems and helping dreams come true for more than twenty years.

  1. Clients :(

I know what it’s like to pour everything into your business and still feel like you’re shouting into the void.

Since 2002, I worked with business coaches, followed every strategy, and pushed myself to the edge trying to "do it right." I overworked, second-guessed, and exhausted myself—never having enough clients to make ends meet.

Yep - I felt a lot of shame and despair, but the problem wasn’t me—it was the one-size-fits-all business advice that didn’t account for the resources I had (and didn’t have) available and the systems I was challenged by.

  • Niche

  • Irresistable Offers

  • Newsletters

  • Website

  • Socials

  • Funnels

  • Discovery Calls

What finally shifted?

First, deep somatic healing for the trauma and conditioning that made marketing feel so stressful—brain fog, writer’s block, avoidance, the constant freeze.

Then, I returned to a truth I had always known but had forgotten in the noise of business advice:

The women before me had always found a way, not because they were good at following recipes, but because they were curious and willing to experiment with what they had at hand.

Hard Truth:

Typical business coaching strategies would never work for me because they all presumed I had privileges that I didn’t have.

I had to be Curious. Creative. Experimental.

That’s why my approach is different.

Most business coaches hand you a blueprint and leave you to figure it out alone.

I actually coach. When the typical strategies don’t work for you, I help you find what does. I problem-solve with you, and I’m here to cheer you on—because this process is hard, and no one should have to do it alone.

Lenses:

I view well-being and healing through personal, family and sociocultural/systemic lenses. I recognize that stress and trauma can arise from relationships, intergenerational experiences, as well as social conditions of marginalization and oppression.

I am committed to engaging in ways that are:

  • Feminist, anti-oppressive and anti-racist

  • Queer and trans affirming

  • Neurodiversity affirming

  • Informed by fat acceptance and in opposition to diet culture
