“I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of it’s own unfolding.” John O’Donohue​

I am Tami and my journey began when a spontaneous awakening while on an adventure in the Grand Canyon turned my life upside down. For most of my life, I relied heavily on my intellect, but suddenly my feeling function was fully engaged. As I embraced this new awareness, I learned to trust, surrendered to my fears, and began to follow my inner guidance through dreams and synchronicities. The path led me to discover my purpose. 

​

I previously worked as a payroll manager at a Canadian corporation, leading a large team of people through process cycles. My education and training during the first two decades of my career, focused on business, culminating with an M.B.A. While my primary work has shifted to transpersonal practices, both are about process cycles. My first career was about masculine, logical cycles while my second career is about feminine, archetypal cycles. Life was leading me to where I needed to go all along.

​

In my transpersonal practice, my journey of self-discovery, led me into the trenches that gave me the crucial skills to support your journey!

 

In 2022 I completed soul centered coach training at the Institute of Depth Psychology & Soul Centered Coaching, becoming the first graduate of Dr. Bonnie Bright's depth psychology coaching certification program. This program focuses on teaching key concepts and the ability to extract wisdom from the unconscious psyche through experiential methods. The coaching framework consists of three pillars: somatic, symbolic, and shamanic. 

​​

In 2022 after seven years of training, I became a certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator trained by the late Tav Sparks through Grof Transpersonal Training. With over 600 hours of training, GTT is considered by many to be the gold standard for learning to hold safe space for people going through emotionally trying times or experiencing expanded states of consciousness. 

​

In 2017, I completed a mesa carrier training by Christina Allen of the Austin Shamanic Center. This training taught me the skills of performing ritual and ceremony. 

​​

My practice is inspired by three wise men: Stanislav Grof, Joseph Campbell, and Carl Jung—pioneers in depth psychology, expanded consciousness, and myth. Their collective wisdom has been foundational in the growth of transpersonal and depth psychologies which are more relevant for our times than ever. I continue to study their and embed that knowledge into my practice. 

​

During a transformative Holotropic Breathwork training week in 2018, I met three inspiring women who continue to provide personal guidance: Jungian Analysts Monika Wikman and Penelope Tarasuk, and Jungian scholar Bonnie Bright. Each of these incredible women embody the pairing of intellectual depth with emotional insight and they are all carriers of Carl Jung's great wisdom. ​

- I spent nearly three years in analysis working with Penelope.

- Monika introduced me into the mysteries of Jung's alchemical work 

- Bonnie became my professor and I continue to study under her advanced depth psychology program

​

The Work of Gila Golub introduced me to shadow work in 2015. During her foundational Level 1, 2 & 3 series, I learned about ego, relationships, and trauma. After completing the series, I then hosted a shadow working circle at my home for six years. 

​

In practice, shadow work changed me from being a hard-driving, type A leader to becoming an empathetic, listening one.  My team advised me that my transformational journey changed me from thinking I was a good leader to being one. 

 

I have studied and experienced the wisdom of ancient and contemporary healers, philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists, mystics, and shamans. All of my training has equipped me to guide and support your personal development and growth.
