What are you seeking?

Lost in life?

Confused?

Stuck?

Feeling like there should be more to your life?

Wondering what your purpose might be?

I’m a firm believer that each of us has a purpose in life. I also know it can be damn hard working out what that is and even when you do… it can be tricky finding the path that will help you get there.

Our mid-life is a huge transition period for all of us – regardless of menopause symptoms or not. Biologically speaking our brains are shifting out of “Needing to do what it takes to belong” and into what I like to think of as “Making a Difference, My Way”.

It can mean that we get a bit stuck in the gap between what we have done in the past, and our future selves.

You might be asking yourself…

“What is this future self, and how do I get there?”

“What about all the important things I do… I can’t just leave them behind…can I?”

“My family still needs me. I can’t just abandon them for some selfish need for self expression!?!”

“How do I even start?”

I can assure you, it will all be okay.

This isn’t about throwing out the baby with the bathwater (unless you want to). It is about discovering the excitement, the passion, and the energy that lies within you already.

Sometimes it just about getting unstuck in our minds, and the rest will follow.

Would you like to explore what this might look like and how I might be able to help you?

Let's have a chat about you.

We will be launching our “official” programs in March 2025, and yet we recognise that can feel a really long way away if you are struggling right now.

So with that in mind, we are opening up coaching spots over January and February to ensure you are getting the support you need, right now.

I’d love to chat with you to help you find your best way forward. It may be that I recommend you approach someone different if we are not a match. I know lots of amazing folk and I just want YOU to have the best outcome this life is offering you!

No pressure, just a chance to explore

"Coaching with Tanya was awesome!

Tanya was energetic and passionate and it was infectious. She was able to see through my excuses, calling me out on a few things and helping me set my bar higher. It was exactly the firm but friendly approach I needed.

Since our sessions I have become much more focused and energised. It really helped me to be held to account. What I’ve noticed since is that I have a much clearer sense on direction which has allowed me to make more strategic decisions, like turning down work I really didn’t want to do – creating space for some really exciting opportunities that have since come my way!

A big part of my focus and energy is how she helped me to find ways to confidently, authentically and genuinely promote myself.

Tanya, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your expertise with me. You have incredible skill at helping people find clarity in the complexity of being human. Anyone who is struggling to reach for the stars and find their way forward will benefit from being coaching by you. You are professional, warm and engaging as you help each person find their potential and act as their personal cheer squad as they smash their goals.

Thanks so much,

Kate.”

"Tanya is easy to talk to, gives good, sound and easy to follow advice that really made a difference

I found Tanya to be kind, empathetic and she inspired me to think differently. I always felt relaxed, listened to and confident to undertake the suggestions we formed during our sessions together.

We focused on the areas I was really struggling with and talked about ways to approach things. I realised that I wasn’t too far off the mark with many of my concerns and I just needed to take a slightly different approach. These sessions really helped to feel more comfortable that my gut feeling was right and that sparked confidence in putting some new approaches into action.

I really appreciated these sessions.”
