ABOUT TATYANA

Welcome.

I’m an inner guide, Reiki master, and artist — devoted to the tender and courageous work of coming home to self.

Sensitivity without courage is just suffering.
Courage without sensitivity is just armour.
I have learned to hold both.

My spirit animals are the phoenix and the buffalo.

The phoenix who is not afraid to burn herself down completely — because she knows that sometimes, destruction is the only path to rebirth.

And the buffalo who runs straight into the storm — because waiting only prolongs the pain, and the only way out is through.

I grew up feeling like my inner world was too big for the containers around me. Too much feeling, too much intensity — and nowhere to hold it. I didn’t know then that this was not a flaw. It was just that no one could see what’s going on underneath.

The journey to understand myself was long and solitary. Not because I wasn’t loved — I was. But the specific terrain of a soul like mine, I had to carve the map myself.

I burned things down. I rebuilt. More than once.

And through every trial, every loss, every unraveling — the most important thing I learned was this: that coming home to yourself is the thing that makes life liveable.

This work saved my life. Genuinely. And because I know how hard it is to find the map back to yourself — especially alone — I have made it my life’s devotion to walk that path beside others.

I figured it out alone, but you don’t have to.

The Foundations I Draw From

Trauma-informed mindfulness, Yoga, Reiki, somatic and energy work, Vipassana meditation — and most importantly, a lifetime experience of being a highly sensitive person myself.

These days I live slowly in Bali — in the company of my sphynx cat Riddle, communing with life and finding magic in the mundane.

If something here resonated — I’d love to meet you.
