TANYA’S BIO & BOOKING →
Tanya brings a calm, grounded presence to the room and provides spaciousness for whatever feelings arise. She doesn't rush to tell you what to do, but stays curious about what matters to you and where you want to go. Tanya is especially drawn to supporting people through the complicated places where we can feel lost, alone or untethered, including when we're caught between cultures, family expectations, old roles and who we're becoming. Her work also makes room for connection with the body, the land and your own inner knowing.
Tanya offers counselling in English and Tagalog.

Amanda brings a warm, grounded presence to her work, with room for both depth and humour. She often works with those who feel stuck, disconnected, or caught in patterns they can’t quite seem to shift, and who want to slow down enough to get curious about what’s really going on.

Her hope is to help people feel more at home in themselves, with more confidence, choice and ease in their lives.
