What People Are Saying
Each journey at The Healing Sanctuary is unique — and I’m honoured by the trust my clients place in me. Here are some of the reflections they’ve generously shared from our time together.
“I stumbled upon Tanya at The Healing Sanctuary in Brisbane by chance and it became one of the most life-changing discoveries I’ve ever made! Drawn to the FACIAL EMOTIONAL THERAPY treatment for my initial appointment, I was seeking relaxation and respite. What I found, however, was far greater — I found myself truly seen and understood on a profound level.
Even though Tanya is based in Brisbane and I’m all the way down in Melbourne, the connection we built was extraordinary. Through her non-judgmental, compassionate, insightful and down-to-earth nature, she became my cheerleader and guide during a time when I was in burnout. We were able to continue various therapies — NEURO-EMOTIONAL BALANCE THERAPY, HYPNOTHERAPY, COUNSELLING + COACHING — via Teams, which is a testament to her dedication and her ability to create meaningful connections even across the distance. More recently, on a trip up to Brisbane, I had the chance to experience RADICAL SHIFT THERAPY in person — and it was transformational!
Tanya’s unique gift for healing goes beyond her services — it’s her genuine care, warmth and intelligence that make her truly special. I’ve never met anyone I could relate to on such a deep level. Compared to how I felt just one year ago, I feel like a completely different person — lighter, stronger and more at peace within myself. I’ve stepped into an amazing role, at a new company, that is not only fulfilling but also honours my energy and wellbeing. For the first time in a long time, I’ve found a beautiful sense of work/life balance. My days feel more spacious and my heart is full as my family is happy, healthy and thriving. Life feels aligned again — and I’m so grateful.
For anyone seeking healing, the release of heavy emotional burdens, reconnection with themselves, a deep sense of calm — or simply the chance to feel whole again — I can’t recommend Tanya highly enough.

“NEURO-EMOTIONAL BALANCE THERAPY is truly powerful! Tanya possesses a unique ability to accurately identify the root cause of my issues and how, where and when these unhelpful beliefs and behaviours were formed. She then used hypnotherapy, alongside the principles of neuroplasticity – mind reprogramming – to enable the creation of new neural pathways in my mind. Over the years I have tried a number of different therapies. None have had the impact that I felt during my session with Tanya.
In the days that followed, it was as though a great chasm opened up inside of me, out of which poured everything that had been holding me back in my life. I had been struggling to make a deep connection to anything I was doing. After some sessions with Tanya everything changed. I now have a new creative energy and passion for life, for which I am incredibly grateful. Since then Tanya has been fundamental in helping me grow and develop as a person. If I were to use one word to sum up the impact of this treatment it would be ‘transformational’. “

“Working with Tanya has been so transformational. I came to her at a time when I felt completely stuck — overwhelmed by stress, self-doubt and emotional exhaustion. From the very first session, I felt seen, supported and understood in a way I hadn’t experienced before.
Tanya has a remarkable ability to hold space with compassion and insight, gently guiding me to uncover and shift long-held stress patterns that were weighing me down. Through our work together in NEURO-EMOTIONAL BALANCE THERAPY alongside our NEURO-INFORMED HOLISTIC COUNSELLING + COACHING sessions to follow, I’ve not only gained clarity and confidence, but I’ve also learned how to respond to life’s challenges with a sense of calm and resilience.
I’m now showing up in my work, relationships and daily life with a clearer mind and a stronger sense of self. I honestly can’t recommend Tanya enough to anyone who is ready for real, lasting change”

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I booked my first NEURO-INFORMED HOLISTIC COUNSELLING + COACHING session with Tanya. I’ve always been pretty independent and not one to talk much about emotions, but I’d reached a point where the stress was getting on top of me — work pressure, family stuff, not sleeping properly etc. What I appreciated most was that Tanya didn’t just sit there and nod. She helped me understand how stress was affecting my brain and body and why I was stuck in certain patterns. That actually made a lot of sense to me. She gave me practical strategies based on how the brain works, not just vague advice. I’ve been sleeping better, thinking more clearly and handling pressure in a way I hadn’t been able to before. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and want straight-up support that works, I’d recommend Tanya.”

“FACIAL EMOTIONAL THERAPY IS AKIN TO RECEIVING A HOLISTIC ‘GLOW UP’! It is magical — gentle, deeply relaxing and pampering — yet so powerful. I walked away feeling so incredibly peaceful, at one with my mind, body and the world around me — all the while feeling a special kind of ‘ease’ I haven’t felt in a very long time. My neck and shoulders had been tense and tight, but after the treatment, I felt a liberating sense of relief.
Thank you, Tanya, for nourishing me — mind, body and soul — while supporting me in all that needed to be seen, expressed and released. And for lighting me up and gifting me back the connection to my body and its wisdom. I cannot wait for my next treatment.
“

“Tanya’s HYPNOTHERAPY sessions have been a profound part of my healing journey. As someone with trauma in my past, I’ve often found it hard to relax or trust people. But with Tanya, I felt deeply safe and seen. She guided me through the process with such care, helping me release old patterns and connect with parts of myself I’d forgotten. It wasn’t just relaxation — it was repair. I feel more whole now and more hopeful than I’ve felt in years.”

“Thank you so much, you truly are a gorgeous soul with the gift of light. FACIAL EMOTIONAL THERAPY was such an amazing experience. I left feeling light, refreshed and completely at peace. Your energy is infectious and it was honestly a blessing to cross paths with you.
I’ve already been raving about you to my family and friends! In fact, my girlfriend Shay has already booked in with you, so she’s in for a real treat! Thank you again for creating such a safe and nurturing space — it was exactly what I needed. I look forward to booking in with you again. “

“It was such a pleasure meeting you, Tanya. You have a calming, nurturing presence and I felt truly seen and supported in your space. I felt incredible after RADICAL SHIFT THERAPY — so grounded and light at the same time, even amidst the chaos of the drive home. The session, which included the profoundly relaxing FACIAL EMOTIONAL THERAPY, was exactly what I needed and so much more. Thank you for holding such a sacred, supportive container. I’m so grateful our paths crossed. Take care of your beautiful self — I’m already looking forward to my next appointment.

“I came to Tanya wanting to quit smoking after years of failed attempts. Her HYPNOTHERAPY sessions were nothing like I expected — they were calm, focused and surprisingly powerful. She helped me get to the core of why I was smoking and gently rewired the patterns that were keeping me stuck. Two sessions done and I’ve now been smoke-free for over a month. More than that, I feel clearer in my thinking and more in control overall. Highly recommend.”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect from HYPNOTHERAPY, but I felt safe the moment I stepped into Tanya’s clinic. Her voice, her presence, everything about the session allowed me to finally relax — like, really relax — in a way I hadn’t in years. We worked through the roots of my anxiety and self-doubt and something just clicked. I left feeling lighter, clearer and more in tune with myself. It’s hard to put into words, but something deep within me shifted — and that shift is still unfolding in the most beautiful way.”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect from RADICAL SHIFT THERAPY, but something in me knew I needed it — and I’m so glad I trusted that feeling. From the moment the session began, I felt safe and deeply supported. Tanya has this extraordinary ability to tune in and gently guide you toward what your system is ready to release — even things you didn’t realise were weighing you down. After just one session, I noticed a genuine shift in how I respond to stress. My thoughts are clearer, I have a much more positive outlook on life and I feel more present in my own body. It’s hard to describe, but it’s as if a fog lifted and I’m finally breathing fully again. This therapy helped me reconnect with myself on such a deep level. It’s not just healing — it’s empowering. Tanya, thank you for creating a space where real change can happen.”

“What I appreciated most was Tanya’s ability to integrate the science behind the subconscious with a deeply intuitive and supportive approach. I was dealing with a confidence crisis that was affecting my work and personal life. HYPNOTHERAPY with Tanya helped me quiet the mental noise, reframe my inner narrative and build new neural pathways grounded in clarity and strength. The impact has been lasting. It’s like I’m operating from a different level now — one that actually serves me. “

“I can’t express how deeply relaxed, wonderful and re-energised I felt after my ‘FACIAL EMOTIONAL THERAPY’ treatment with Tanya.
Starting with the clinic’s beautifully tranquil ambiance and Tanya’s warm and very calming nature, this healing treatment took me on a journey as I experienced an emotional release. I felt as if I was floating as a deep sense of relief washed over me. The sounds/smells and Tanya’s gentle touch created the full healing experience for me. One that I will most certainly be repeating. Thank you for sharing this beautiful treatment with me Tanya.”

“Tanya is a truly exceptional healer. She seamlessly blends traditional professionalism with top-notch expertise and a genuine sensitivity that yields authentic results. In her sessions, there’s no fluff – just attentive listening and profound understanding.
Through NEURO-EMOTIONAL BALANCE THERAPY, Tanya posses a unique ability to accurately identify issues and energetically transforms them. Sometimes, I may not immediately grasp the shifts, but over a span of days or weeks, I notice meaningful shifts — emotionally, mentally or even physically.
Tanya addresses problems on a level that truly works for me. Having been an energy healer myself, I recognise Tanya among a select few practitioners who delve deep into the core of an issue, allowing me to acknowledge and eliminate it. I place my trust in her and I’m sincerely grateful for the remarkable changes she has facilitated in my life.

“I came to Tanya feeling overwhelmed, stuck and constantly on edge — like my nervous system had forgotten how to switch off. From our very first NEURO-INFORMED HOLISTIC COUNSELLING + COACHING session, I felt something shift. She met me with such warmth and presence and somehow knew exactly how to help me make sense of the chaos I was feeling inside. What I appreciated most was how seamlessly Tanya blended neuroscience with a guided ‘vagus nerve calming switch’ breathwork practice to help settle my nervous system, followed by suggestive HYPNOTHERAPY to gently build confidence and create space for lasting change. It was subtle but powerful — I left feeling much calmer, clearer and more anchored in myself.
I’ve worked with therapists before, but this felt different. More integrative. More empowering. Like I was finally learning how to regulate my system and rewire the patterns that were keeping me stuck. Session by session, I’ve found more clarity, more calm and a growing sense of self-trust I didn’t know was possible. I can honestly say this work is changing my life.”

“Thank you, Tanya. I’m doing really well after my RADICAL SHIFT THERAPY and FACIAL EMOTIONAL THERAPY treatments. I’ve started journalling and it’s making everything I touch feel brighter and shinier. I love the morning ritual you gave me. I even entered tomorrow’s Bridge to Brisbane, running up the Gateway Bridge — OMG! I couldn’t have gotten there without your help, so thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I love your energy, Tanya! You’ve helped me realise profound truths in my life and I truly wish there were more people like you in this world. You are beautiful beyond measure.

“I cannot recommend Tanya highly enough. To say Tanya is amazing at her craft is an understatement. The moment I stepped into her therapy room, I felt this wave of calm and tranquility wash over me. It was clear I was in the hands of a true professional. I’ve seen Tanya quite a few times now and have had the pleasure of experiencing her expertise in ‘FACIAL EMOTIONAL THERAPY’. I must share, it made me feel so incredibly relaxed. More so than I have felt in a very long time! What makes Tanya stand out is not just her impressive knowledge and remarkable skill set, or her warm and personable approach, but the ‘peace’ she brings to each session. She radiates a beautiful, inner warmth that is complemented by a delightful sense of humour.
I had been overwhelmed by pain walking in, so the moments of laughter that ensued helped ease the overwhelment I had been consumed by. I’m so grateful she’s chosen to share her gifts with us. Her dedication to her craft is evident in every treatment and I am incredibly grateful for the positive changes these sessions have brought into my life. If you’re considering treatment, don’t hesitate. Tanya is a beautiful person and is truly wonderful at what she does.”

“I had the privilege of having the beautiful Tanya in my training courses. She possesses a uniquely attuned touch and an exceptional sensitivity for helping others. Her intuition and deep compassion know no bounds. I feel extremely honoured to have her as part of an inspiring generation of healers. I recommend Tanya to anyone seeking a profoundly relaxing or powerfully transformative treatment. Thank you for sharing your magic with us, Tanya.”

“I have been fortunate to have known Tanya for over 20 years both personally and professionally. Tanya is an amazing, authentic and very caring human and has developed such a genuine passion for healing those in need. Tanya has been on a journey to develop and evolve her natural affinity for healing for many years. I would say that the profession Tanya is now in is not just a conscious choice but a ‘calling’ to which she has heeded with great dedication and enthusiasm.
Recently, I was fortunate enough to experience firsthand Tanya’s abilities to help heal emotional trauma through ‘FACIAL EMOTIONAL THERAPY’. Having just lost my beautiful mother, I had so much pent-up grief and sadness which I hadn’t really addressed. Through this amazing therapy, I was finally able to say goodbye to my mum and release the burden of sadness I had been carrying in my soul, which had being weighing very heavily in my heart.
I can personally vouch for how wonderful this treatment is and just how much it improved my emotional wellbeing and anxiety since Mum’s passing. Thank you, Tanya, I really appreciate you and your unequalled passion for healing. It is so rare to find and indeed such a pleasure to receive.”

“I didn’t quite know what to expect from REIKI, but I knew I needed something gentle and soothing. From the moment I stepped into Tanya’s space, I felt so comfortable. The session was deeply calming, but also unexpectedly emotional. There was a moment when I felt something lift — like a weight I didn’t realise I was carrying had finally softened. Tanya’s presence is so nurturing and intuitive. I could feel the care in her hands and the intention behind every movement. It wasn’t just energy work — it was a reset. Since the session, I’ve felt more balanced, less reactive and somehow more connected to myself. It’s hard to describe… like my inner world just feels calmer. Reiki with Tanya is like being brought back to centre — gently and with deep care. I’m so grateful I followed the nudge to book in.”

“REIKI with Tanya was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I went in feeling scattered, anxious and emotionally drained…and left with a sense of lightness and deep inner calm. There were moments in the session where I could feel waves of energy moving through me — as if something old and heavy was gently being released. I didn’t need to explain or unpack anything. My body just knew what to do and Tanya held the space with such care and presence that I felt completely safe to let go. What touched me most was how seen and supported I felt. Since the session, I’ve felt more grounded, clearer in my emotions and more connected to myself in a steady way. Tanya’s Reiki is gentle, powerful and deeply restorative. I’m a regular now. “

“I wasn’t sure what to expect from REIKI. My girlfriend told me it was great, but I’ll admit I was a bit sceptical. I’m really glad I went through with it. Tanya instantly made me feel at ease. During the session, I felt my body fully relax in a way I hadn’t experienced in a long time. It was like my system could finally switch off. I walked out feeling lighter, clearer and more centred. It was a reset I didn’t realise I needed — at least not as much as I did.”

“I experienced a profoundly relaxing and extremely wonderful 1.5 hours with Tanya receiving ‘FACIAL EMOTIONAL THERAPY’. To my surprise, about 15 minutes into the treatment, my left arm started buzzing with energy – almost as if it was lifting off the table. This energy then seemed to radiate throughout my whole body. I felt so incredibly light. I couldn’t wait to ask Tanya about it at the time, but I saw that Tanya was totally in tune with the session and her eyes were closed. She is so invested in this energy work and wanted to give me the most profound healing experience possible – so I closed my eyes and relaxed back into it.
Tanya’s energy throughout my session was unbelievable. It’s very clear to me that Tanya is a dedicated therapist. Her calm, caring, compassionate nature, authenticity and passion for healing those in need, shined through my session from beginning to end. I walked out feeling light as a cloud, totally serene from my head to my toes. I thoroughly enjoyed this remarkable treatment and would highly recommend it to everyone. Please do yourself a favour and book a session with Tanya.”

“Thank you for my amazing FACIAL EMOTIONAL THERAPY. I feel so rested, calm, realigned and in tune with myself — it’s like a weight has lifted. Your presence is so grounding Tanya. I walked out feeling lighter, clearer and deeply connected to myself again. So great!!”
