Hi, I’m Tasha

I am an educator, writer, and certified life coach. For nearly 20 years, I helped people between the ages of 14 and 50+ learn how to express their ideas in English classrooms. The nature of my teaching included sharing ideas, both in writing and face-to-face conversations, where I supported individuals through life transitions.

Now, I’m doing the same work in a more personal setting. No matter how or why you are seeking a change, I’m here to support you in discovering and returning to your truest self, and finding a place where you can move beyond survival into a place where you can thrive.

Trust Your Inner Knowing

You’re NOT Too Old

23. 32. 43.

These were my ages when I finished each of my degrees.

And with every single one, there were people both older and younger than me.

Absolutely no one - not other students or professors - cared one iota.

You ARE Smart Enough

While there are definitely people who get certain things more easily, most people are smart enough to succeed with their educational goals.

You might learn things differently, the speed might vary, some subjects might not be your thing.

But if you want to get an education, it’s as available for you as anyone else.

It’s NOT Too Late

Started a career and realize it’s no longer the way for you?

Want to develop a creative habit/side career but are no longer in your 20’s?

Make a pivot anyway. Start today anyway.

Many of us will live well into our 80s. Why not fill that life with work and practices that fulfill you?
