Let’s repair what's broken, rediscover what’s still worth fighting for & rebuild something stronger - whether it’s with your partner, or within yourself.
REBUILD YOUR RELATIONSHIP & REDEFINe LIFE & LOVe.
READY TO REBUILD
and i've felt stuck, overwhelmed, frustrated & unfulfilled in my relationship & my life, too.
I believe love should be the leader in everyone's life - and I definitely believe that TRUE FULFILLMENT & HAPPINESS can only exist when you LOVE YOURSELF FULLY, FIRST (as cliche as that sounds)
Hey, I'm Tanya,
Problem is that many of us weren't taught how to love & trust ourselves.
INSTEAD, WE QUICKLY START LOOKING OUTSIDE OF OURSELVES - AND USE THINGS LIKE MONEY, STATUS, SUCCESS & OTHER PEOPLE'S LOVE & APPROVAL - TO DETERMINE OUR SELF-WORTH & IDENTITY.
I certainly did.

Craft Cocktails & Creamy Cappuccinos
Words & Wonderings
a few of my favorite things
Ok, so I recently decided to stop drinking but I did have a reputation as as cocktail snob - life is too short for bad coffee or boring drinks. Whether it’s a perfectly foamed cappuccino or a mezcal cocktail, I’m always chasing the next sip of perfection.
When I’m not deep in a coaching session, you’ll find me lost in a book, journaling my heart out, or meditating my way to clarity. My 4:30am alarm l is my favorite time of the day, and it's those quiet moments fuel me for everything else.
Family & Friendships
Love for the Lyrics
Music isn’t just background noise - it’s a vibe, a therapy session, and a celebration all at once. From old-school R&B to classical Chopin (I'm a classically-trained pianist), my playlists are as eclectic as my life.
From raising my two amazing kids, nurturing my adult relationship with my parents, to intentionally focusing on growth with my husband, Ty - family is my foundation. Add in my beautiful friendships & it’s where I find love, laughter, and endless support & inspiration.
Anything & Everything Design
My love for design runs deep - whether it's curating a cozy home, admiring art or creating content that inspires. With a background in luxury fashion, I love the details that make life feel intentional & elevated.
My Story...
I lost my 6-figure job as a VP in luxury fashion, and 6 weeks later, my ex-husband walked out unannounced leaving me a single mom to my then 6-year-old son.
Everything I thought was secure - my career, my identity, my family, my future, my financial stability - was gone.
It was devastating, but it wasn’t the first time I’d had to find myself.
By my teens, I had grown into myself - "pretty" and "popular" on the outside - but inside, I was still that unhealed little girl.
Questioning cultural norms & religious beliefs & dating outside my culture - specifically, having a Black boyfriend - caused constant tension at home.
And while my parents & I slowly learned how to allow & accept our differences , I silently battled what developed into a 'personality disorder', major depression, & deep anxiety while trying to reconcile who I was with who I was supposed to be.
The world of luxury & living in NYC was everything I wanted: fast-paced, creative & challenging. I traveled the world working for top fashion houses, worked my way up to a VP role, dressed A-lists celebs & carved out a name for myself in an industry that, at the time, wasn’t exactly full of women (or anyone) who looked like me.
IN just 6 weeks, literally everything changed.
Growing up as the only-child of Indian immigrant parents in Toronto, I was always navigating two very different worlds.
At home, there were traditions to uphold, expectations to meet, and a different language to speak.
Outside, I was the awkward, Brown, glasses-wearing kid who skipped a grade, got bullied for being "too small & too smart," and felt out of place everywhere I went.
The thing is, despite all my internal battles, I had always done well & dreamed BIG.
So although I was expected to follow a more traditional path (doctor, lawyer, engineer, MBA - I chose Business School), in my final year of university, I secretly applied to the Fashion Institute of Technology, got accepted & on graduation day told my parents that I was moving to NYC to chase a childhood dream that still felt completely out of reach.
On the outside, my life seemed Pinterest-perfect - a multi 6-figure fashion career, a radio personality husband, a beautiful son, a big house in Brooklyn (with parking and a backyard - IYKYK!), world travel & nice things.
In 2018, when my world came crashing down, the years of personal development I had quietly committed to because of my early mental health struggles - therapy, journaling, building self-trust & quieting the outside noise - allowed me to see the breakdown as a BLESSING & OPPORTUNITY.
I REALIZED, DESPITE KNOWING I WAS UNFULFILLED & UNHAPPY - I HAD BEEN SO FOCUSED ON WHAT MY LIFE 'LOOKED' LIKE, THAT I HAD BEEN IGNORING WHAT I TRULY NEEDED, WANTED & DESERVED.
(they were scared but supportive - and it was my mom who introduced me to the man who gave me my 1st internship at Giorgio Armani!)

NOW
My entire life has been shaped by the nuances of culture, identity, relationships & growth.
Because I’ve walked this path - through heartbreak, healing & transformation - I know what’s possible for you, too.
Whether it’s rebuilding trust with yourself, redefining your marriage, or breaking unhealthy patterns, I’m here to help you rewrite your relationship story.
I met Ty - and we immediately hired a relationship coach who understood our cultural differences - with the intention of building a strong partnership & foundation for our blended family (he's got 2 sons as well!)
I learned how to always find internal peace - even in the midst of a grueling, expensive 5-year divorce - and accepted the very frustrating challenges of co-parenting with my ex-husband - while building a secure, loving relationship with Ty.
I had a 2nd baby at 39, while getting trained & certified - and building my 2nd career as a life & relationship coach.
We decided to move from Brooklyn to Houston in 2022, to start a new chapter - one rooted in connection, growth, and the more quiet, ease-ful life that we are now intentionally creating together for our family (which now includes our sweet pittie pup, Brooklyn)
And through all the ups and downs, one truth has remained clear:
IT'S THE RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WITH YOURSELF THAT SETS THE TONE FOR EVERY OTHER RELATIONSHIP IN YOUR LIFE.
So I dove even deeper into spiritual & personal growth, hired amazing coaches & healers, and gave myself permission to redesign my life in the most honest, aligned, intentional way possible

The Philosophy
THIS ISN'T JUST COACHING - IT'S LEGACY WORK.
The relationships we build today don’t just affect us - they shape the lives of those we love most: our partners, our kids, and future generations.
Whether it’s rewriting old beliefs, breaking generational patterns, or building a deeper, healthier connection, this work is about creating something bigger - for you & for the generations that follow.
LIFE & LOVE, REDEFINED.
Every relationship has its own story. My philosophy is simple: honor what works, let go of what doesn’t, and build something that feels deeply aligned & true to you.
This isn’t about fixing things to look perfect on the outside - it’s about creating clarity, connection & love that feels real, authentic & thoughtfully built to last. On your terms.
THE FOCUS IN ON YOU, HERE.
What sets this work apart isn’t just the tools or the framework—it’s how we approach everything with
your unique story at the center.
We don’t ignore the cultural influences, family dynamics, and beliefs shaping your life and relationships. Instead, we uncover how they’re affecting your connection with yourself, your partner, and those around you—and use those insights to create solutions that actually fit your life.
