Preparing something amazing for you!
Tanya D., C.MI™, Reiki Master, Holistic Recovery Coach
My name is Tanya D., and I am honored to walk alongside individuals seeking freedom, clarity, and emotional resilience on their sobriety journey. My approach blends evidence-informed recovery coaching with trauma-sensitive meditation, energy healing, breathwork, and chakra-aligned Twelve-Step-informed practices.
I have been in long-term sobriety for over a decade, and like many people I support today, my early recovery brought emotional challenges I wasn’t prepared for. While sobriety gave me the gift of clarity, it also surfaced the feelings I had numbed for years. I stayed engaged in Twelve-Step communities, which supported my abstinence, but I found myself craving a deeper level of healing—one that integrated the nervous system, the energy body, and the emotional landscape of long-term recovery. That search became the turning point in my life.
What began as accessing support for myself soon expanded into a calling. I discovered meditation, energy healing, recovery-focused yoga, and integrative wellness practices that helped me re-build my inner world from the inside out. Over time, I learned how to regulate my emotions, honor my boundaries, reconnect with my intuition, understand my triggers, and rebuild my sense of self-worth. As my emotional sobriety deepened, I experienced something I had not felt in years: peace.
This transformation inspired me to build a holistic recovery practice where individuals can receive compassionate, structured, and integrative support. I developed the Thriving in Sobriety™ framework—a mind-body-energy approach that helps people not only maintain sobriety, but truly thrive inside it. My coaching supports two pathways within the recovery journey:
Path 1: Individuals within their first six months of sobriety who need grounding, emotional stabilization, and daily structure.
Path 2: Individuals six months sober or more who are ready to deepen their emotional resilience, rebuild their identity, and grow into long-term, heart-centered sobriety.
My philosophy is simple: Sobriety is the foundation. Thriving is the work.
Recovery does not end with abstinence—it expands into emotional freedom, spiritual connection, nervous system healing, and the rebuilding of a meaningful life. I help clients stabilize their inner world, develop rituals and routines that support well-being, explore somatic and energetic healing practices, and reconnect with the parts of themselves they abandoned during active addiction.
Clients often come to me because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to navigate the emotional layers of sobriety. Many say, “I’m sober—but why am I still struggling?” My role is to help them move from surviving to thriving by creating a personalized plan that addresses the whole person: mind, body, energy, spirit, relationships, and daily habits.
Through our work together, clients learn how to regulate emotions, manage triggers without fear, build self-trust, reconnect with community, strengthen spiritual health, create boundaries rooted in self-worth, and cultivate the inner stability needed for long-term recovery. I meet every client exactly where they are—with compassion, clear guidance, and a deep belief in their capacity to heal.
Above all, my mission is to create a safe, affirming, non-judgmental space where individuals can be honest about their struggles and courageous about their growth. Whether you’re newly sober or years into your recovery, you deserve support that nurtures your emotional well-being, honors your lived experience, and helps you step into the life you’re meant to live.
If you are seeking to deepen your recovery, build emotional resilience, strengthen your spiritual and energetic alignment, or create sustainable routines that help you thrive, I would be honored to support you on your journey. Sobriety is a powerful beginning—and you don’t have to walk this next chapter alone.
My philosophy is simple: Sobriety is the foundation. Thriving is the work.
