Integrative coaching and therapeutic mentoring for addiction, anxiety/depression, eating disorders, family-of-origin trauma, chronic illness, and the patterns quietly shaping your life.
Most people don't arrive here needing another self-help book, podcast, or protocol. They come because something inside has been asking for change for a long time.
Substances, food, work, screens, relationships, perfectionism. Whatever the form, addiction is often an intelligent survival strategy — one that got you through something but no longer serves you. Together we'll explore what it's protecting, and what healing looks like beyond it.
The difficult one. The sensitive one. The truth-teller in a system built on denial. Many of us survived by becoming who our family needed — until the role became an identity. This work helps you reconnect with who you are underneath it.
Autoimmune symptoms, gut issues, fatigue, brain fog, chronic pain. Doctor after doctor, contradictory answers — while your body told a story no one would hear. Healing doesn't begin by dismissing symptoms. It begins by listening.
About Tasha
For more than thirty years, I've walked my own healing path — through anorexia, bulimia, addiction, family-of-origin trauma, and chronic illness no one could name.
What healed me wasn't one thing. It was tending to all of it at once — body, mind, nervous system, relationships, spirit. That's the work I do now: integrative, whole-person, and centered on your story.

Specialties
Most clients carry more than one of these at once. Healing rarely happens in neat categories. Neither do people.
Substances, food, work, relationships, screens. Whatever the behavior, addiction is often an attempt to regulate pain, overwhelm, or disconnection. Together we'll understand what it's been doing for you — and build healthier ways to meet those needs.
It was never really about the substance.
Anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, orthorexia, body-image obsession. Eating disorders are rarely about food — they're expressions of deeper pain, control, and survival. Together we'll listen to the wisdom beneath the symptoms and rebuild trust with your body.
Your body has been trying to keep you safe.
If you were the difficult one, the sensitive one, or the family truth-teller, you may still carry roles that were never yours to hold. This work helps you separate your identity from the stories assigned to you, and reconnect with your authentic self.
You weren't the problem. You were the truth-teller.
Autoimmune conditions, fatigue, gut disorders, neurological symptoms, brain fog. Healing often means looking beyond isolated symptoms — to the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual factors beneath them.
Your body has been telling the truth all along.
Identity, purpose, relationships, autonomy, belonging. The years between adolescence and adulthood can be profoundly transformative — and profoundly confusing. This work offers mentorship through some of life's most important transitions.
A guide for the threshold years.
The approach
Most programs offer one answer. One diet. One protocol. One framework. That was never enough for me — and it may not be for you.
Principle 01
You can't meditate your way out of chronic inflammation, supplement your way out of grief, or think your way out of a dysregulated nervous system. Body, mind, and spirit are one whole. We work with the whole person, in the order your healing requires.
Principle 02
The addiction, the eating disorder, the anxiety, the freeze response, the patterns that make no sense — what if they were never the problem, but an attempt to solve one? We begin by listening, then build safer ways to meet the needs beneath them.
Principle 03
Many of us were wounded in relationship, and most of us heal there too — not through isolation, shame, or trying harder, but through safety, connection, and being seen. We move at the pace your nervous system can sustain.
Services
Whether you're navigating recovery, chronic illness, family patterns, or a care team that needs support, this work meets you where you are — and helps you take the next honest step forward.
Service 01
Compassionate mental-health support that doesn’t ask you to become someone else. We begin exactly where you are — with the addiction, anxiety, depression, eating disorder patterns, family-of-origin wounds, self-limiting beliefs, or daily routines that are asking for care.

Integrative Health Coaching
The goal is not to chase perfection or follow a rigid protocol. It’s to help you listen to your body, make informed choices, and build a healing plan that fits your real life.
Good fit for:
Service 03
Healing often involves more than one person. Team consulting helps families, support systems, and care teams communicate more clearly, understand the person they’re supporting, and create a more thoughtful plan of care.

Team Consulting
This work is especially helpful when several people are involved and everyone wants to help, but the path forward feels confusing, fragmented, or emotionally charged.
Good fit for:
You don't have to figure that out alone. We can start with a conversation and find the right next step together.

The cost of waiting
Most people come to me after years of trying harder. Another protocol. Another promise. Another attempt to force change through will.
You already know what staying stuck costs.
The question is what becomes possible when you stop carrying it alone.
“Healing moves at the pace of your nervous system.”

Grace Notes
Reflections, practices, and stories about healing, resilience, and coming home to yourself.
ReflectionA first letter — on a new home for the practice, a wildflower for a logo, and the work that came out of a life I almost did not survive.
MindfulnessResistance can be a powerful teacher — if we learn how to work with it rather than against it. A practice for turning the friction of healing into a doorway.
HealingMental clarity is the foundation upon which all other aspects of spiritual and personal growth are built. A reflection on the body-spirit connection.
“My lived experience became my expertise. My wounds became my wisdom. My trauma became my curriculum. My healing became my offering.”
