Most Importantly

Family, resilience, and compassionate wisdom

Tanya is the mother of three inspiring young men, auntie to two amazing young men, a sister, a daughter, and a granddaughter to Oma and Opi, who were instrumental in her becoming a resilient, intuitive, and compassionately wise woman.

My Story

I know what it feels like to carry so much.

I have raised three beautiful men, managed my own business, and been a caregiver for my grandmother and parents.

I know the strain of stress, extreme tiredness, digestive discomfort, sleepless nights, and moments when it feels hard to find your way back to yourself.

My work with DHARA is grounded in the belief that healing does not need to feel harsh, complicated, or disconnected from real life. It can begin with listening, nourishment, steadier routines, and practices that honour the season you are in.

You deserve support, nourishment, and the chance to feel like yourself again.
