A groundbreaking integrative system that supports caregivers with personalized teachings, tools, and a new level of awareness to re-experience happiness daily.
Meet Tanya
I am the mother of a child called Leia who has a rare genetic disorder. She is also non-verbal, autistic, and requires 24/7 care. Leia is my second child and from the beginning, we saw she wasn't developing normally. For several years I continued with my old coping strategies and then at some point, when misery had become my new normal, I realized I needed help.
Luckily I have a friend who suggested I go on a Vipassana meditation retreat. I didn't jump at the idea but eventually, I went and that was the beginning of realizing that I did not have to look at things the way that I did. That I could actually write the entire script differently. It was such a moment of empowerment, of taking me out of victim mode, of allowing me to identify my misery, create some space and let it pass.
I carried on like this, building more skills, awareness, and experiences until in 2017, I started to think, how can I share this with other caregivers? I feel so privileged and lucky to be able to experience caregiving with my new mindset. I started to dream about a new personalized and experiential coaching system that addresses challenge as an unavoidable reality that could be the key to unlocking our potential to attain the joy and fulfillment that every human deserves. That's why I founded integrative caregiving.
I want to help family caregivers understand their minds as they manage this chaotic and stressful role so that they can start becoming a better version of themselves on the job. My program includes personalized coaching, teachings, wisdom, and community that will empower you to change your energy and start living the life you dreamed of while caring for those you love.
It's time we stop saying "oh yes, caregiving is hard," without having a solution to make it easier. It's also time to stop saying, "oh yes, caregivers need to take care of themselves”, without really explaining why and how.
Let’s explore and grow together.
“The program (Metamorphosis 101) asks really deep questions that make you examine yourself more than I had ever done with other counselors. It really is a self-evaluation that causes you to open your eyes from a different perspective. It’s your whole vision of how your life is going to be now moving forward and it really helped me understand myself. You have to move on, you have got to move forward, but how are you going to move forward without this deep hurt? It still hurts but it’s a way of looking at things that are so different than I ever imagined and the program helped me tremendously along those lines.”

Tired of feeling guilt, anger and stress
The complicated emotions of caregiving can overwhelm us. Often we get stuck in repetitive loops. We believe there is only one way to look at our experience.
You have lost yourself
Constantly serving others, responding to everyone else’s needs except your own, the frequent state of hyper-vigilance and managing daily chaos leave us without any time for ourselves. We believe it is better to just put out the fires than nurture our own.
The constant grind is wearing you down
Caregiving can leave us feeling ragged and it is a combination of our beliefs, our environment and our body chemistry that brings us to this point. This is when we realize our old coping skills are no longer working in our new reality.
