Tanya helped me out of a very dark place after a breakup. She gave me the confidence to set boundaries (which was SO hard for me!) and the tools to recognize red flags in the dating world. I have learned so much about myself in terms of thinking patterns, core beliefs, and how I relate to others. I now have higher self esteem and greater understanding of myself. Thank you, Tanya <3

Tanya so far has been imperative to the progress in rebuilding my relationship with my fiance from the ground up, and helping to make me aware of MANY facets of my life which were impacting my decisions on a regular basis. She has helped me take a step back, re-assess and become aware of my triggers and insecurities where I now feel more comfortable opening up and expressing myself freely. Although there is still a lot of work to do, I certainly see it as something which could be overcome in the near future.
