Working with Tanya for the last year has been a huge blessing. My favorite thing about my sessions with her, is we would start off in prayer and I always leave lighter, more focused and with much more clarity after. During the past year, I had gone through the toughest season of my life. Going through divorce, starting over and job seeking was really difficult. Little by little, with having a life coach and putting effort in showing up every week, my life began to quickly transform. Tanya is now more than just my life coach but also became a lifelong friend. I highly highly recommend Tanya!!! She meets you right where you are with compassion and grace and helps you see the real you and work towards getting there. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her. When life got really tough and I couldn’t seem to escape my circumstances, I am happy I gave life coaching and Tanya a try and got through that season striving! Thank you Tanya for being the encourager, friend and person I needed in this season of life!
