Root & Rise
A 3 or 6 month one-to-one coaching journey for life’s big transitional moments. Whether you’re navigating grief, a big life shift, or questioning what really matters now — this is your space to reconnect with your values, your voice, and the next chapter that’s calling.
Every journey is different, and this isn’t a one-size-fits-all programme. Every coaching journey is bespoke and unique as you are. Here are some core pillars that we might explore together:
Let’s make space for what’s ending - whether that’s a loss, a role, a version of yourself. So that you can process what it means with my gentle, compassionate support. You don’t need to “move on.” You get to move forwards with your grief and the deeper understanding of values, purpose and self that it brings.
Reconnect with what truly matters to you now — not what used to matter, or what others expect. We'll unearth the inner compass of values that drive you, name and let go of what feels off, and support you to live more intentionally and aligned to your truest self.
You’re not broken, and don’t need to be “fixed”. You’re in a transformation, and parts of this can be painful, uncomfortable and difficult. Together, we’ll make meaning from the difficult and create space for your next chapter to take shape - one where you don’t just survive the shift, you GROW through it.
Understanding what matters the most to you in this lifetime. From your relationships, to your career, to creativity, to how you spend your time… We’ll explore what’s calling you forward - with tools to gently dream bigger, play, find balance and build a next chapter that actually fits YOU.
“Having recently said goodbye to two immediate family members within quick succession, I found myself in a headspace that was proving quite tricky to navigate on a day to day basis. Dealing with the sadness of two losses and working through the grieving process whilst maintaining a high-pressure job within the entertainment industry (and not wishing to take time off work) was an interesting dichotomy to say the least. Together we honoured and allowed those feelings that I had been experiencing to just come out in a calm, peaceful, safe and nurturing space.
I left feeling incredibly light and genuinely uplifted, with a clear gear change in how I was feeling in terms of the emotional weight I was carrying. The session was not about fixing anything or providing a solution to grief, it was more about taking the time to honour your own feelings within a safe space to express them alongside Tanya's expertise in this field. ”

You've spent years achieving, holding it all together, putting everyone else first… and now you’re ready to feel more.
You’re navigating grief, burnout, or a life that feels out of sync with your values.
You're questioning your career, your pace, your priorities — wondering, “Is this really it?”

You’ve outgrown who you thought you were, but aren’t sure who you’re becoming yet.
Meet Tanya - The Life and Death Coach
“Grief has catalysed the biggest shifts in my life. Now, I help people to turn life’s tender endings into opportunities for transformation and growth.”
I’m Tanya, and I help high achieving, heart led people navigate life’s defining moments. Including death and endings we didn’t choose, the transitions we didn’t see coming, and the quiet longing for something more.
I handed my notice in on my 14 year corporate career at the top of the entertainment industry as a global Head of Marketing for Formula 1 due to the life-altering experience of grief at a miscarriage in 2021. A lightning bolt moment, which made me question if I was still living my dream, or someone else’s?
I walked away to create a life that finally felt deeply aligned to me through my coaching and cultural consultancy business. Before I was rocked again with the death of our beautiful daughter, Ngākau Raiona 21 weeks into pregnancy. I made a promise of presence to her in her final days, which ended up being her greatest gift to me. As I realised the depths that we can hold as humans, and the transformational power when we are present with death and other painful and difficult transitions in life.
Today, I blend my experience as a trauma informed AC certified coach, death + grief expert, and former corporate leader to support others in their journey through life’s big transitional moments. Helping you not just survive life’s curveballs, but soften into them, listen deeply, and find your truest path forward through them. This is coaching to help you navigate the seasons of life that are so feared and avoided in our society - but those that if we are present to them, can shape us the most.

“Every hour spent with Tanya was both surprising and groundbreaking. We discussed life, work, love, London, and how I felt about the world around me and importantly how I felt about being in it. As she got to know me, she was subtly forming a plan of self development that was so powerful that I started to grow in a way that I didn’t know I needed.
We focused on body visualization, habit forming, meditation and many other forms of going inward to achieve the goals I had set out for myself - goals that were always in me but needed guidance from her to help “put pen to paper”. It was the people around me that started to notice changes in my presence, happiness and wellbeing, more so than ever before and I felt empowered to be living the best life I could for myself. When things weren’t rosey, she gave me the tools to deal with them and understand them more.”

“A total game changer for me in terms of my journey with grief and loss, and I cannot recommend Tanya highly enough to anyone who has recently found themself in a similar situation.
Tanya held the space sensitively and was beautifully attuned to my responses and emotions. I felt safely guided to go inwards and breathe into my experiences.
She has such a calm and compassionate presence. Holding space so beautifully for me. It was the most meaningful one to one grief support I’ve experienced since my partner’s and grandmother’s deaths. My heart feeling safe enough to open to the grief I’ve been carrying for so many years.”
