What is Enlightened Aging and Tanya’s philosophy?
Enlightened Aging is a space for caregivers to feel warm and come home to themselves since they are helping loved ones all day and often night. If you are a direct caregiver, hands-on provider of daily tasks and/ or the person supporting a caregiver with decision making, hiring help, organizing a daily routine both roles are equally valid, demanding, complementary and could benefit from more support with knowledge from a professional. We often operate from fear, darkness and pain because we are conditioned to believe this is normal and expected. Often we go through life repeating stories or finding ourselves in the same situations with work, health, relationships, finances, dreams and pursuits. Caregivers are no exception to this way of being and when they find themselves being either a family caregiver or professional caregiver they burnout. Tanya's packages and programs are decided to provide caregivers with the knowledge and tools to create healthier lives, new possibilities and feel energized through being a caregiver, not inspite of being a caregiver.
How can Enlightened Aging Coaching help you?
If you are reading this, then I imagine you have very busy and demanding days. Perhaps you have never paused or truly had space to consider your needs and desires or self care, self worth are foreign concepts (they were for Tanya for many years). Many days feel exhausting like you’re running on fumes, but it might also feel like that is normal and expected. Tanya incorporates spiritual and healing arts including clairvoyance, reiki, guided meditation, oracle card reading and body work to guide caregivers through challenging situations. Tanya uses the philosophy of being light to help her clients, caregivers to differentiate fears and programming rooted in conventional wisdom from fears and programming that might be rooted in negative self talk and in external control of your truth and power. Negative self talk is the voice that says you are unworthy, lack value, you’re not enough, don’t know enough, or that you are singularly responsible for a loved one with many physical and emotional needs. Once you can differentiate fears and lies from truth then we can start to transform you into an empowered caregiver who is capable of making love based decisions. Love and fear do not coexist well together for the long haul.
