Tanya was a dual-trained Nurse (in General and Psychiatric nursing) with over 30 years experience in healthcare, having specialised in emergency nursing and drug and alcohol dependency.

To this vast body of experience and deep understanding of trauma and physiology, she added an Advanced Diploma of Ayurveda, attained in 2021 at Health and Harmony College Queensland, and now seamlessly marries her knowledge of Eastern and Western medical philosophies in her work as an Integrative Practitioner.

Tanya’s journey into Ayurveda began over 15 years ago when a personal health crisis that was unable to be effectively treated with Western medicine, drove her to seek alternative methods of healing. Tanya works with energetics, herbs, and a range of body therapies in her own health maintenance.

This balanced and integrated combination of skills and insights uniquely positions her to excel in treating clients with more complex pathologies, as well as those who prefer a diagnostic and communication style enriched by western science.  This is the true nature of Integrative Practice.
