Hi there!
I’m tanya
I’m a registered nurse with a lifelong passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces and nurturing wellness at home. For over 37 years, my husband, Rob and I have transformed our love for a peaceful and energizing home into a signature style, blending vintage finds with sustainable design to craft spaces filled with charm, personality, and happiness.
Beyond my professional work, I homeschooled our three children, balancing (or at least trying) my dedication to family, with my enthusiasm for home, garden, and being an entrepreneur.
I’ve been blessed with my YouTube channel community. With over 4 million views, inspiring a wonderful community of subscribers who share my passion for all things home.

I know what it feels like to be stuck in overwhelm and burnout. For years I pushed through, always doing and caring for everyone else, until my own health finally forced me to stop.
Out of that hard season (and with my background in healthcare), I created the Stillness Before the Shift Method — a gentle 90-day practice that helps you pause, reset, and reconnect with yourself before making your next big decision. (A printable workbook and audio book).
If you’ve ever wished for more peace, clarity, and confidence in your own journey, this method was made with you in mind.
This workbook helps you to ask the right questions to find your next best steps.
