Years spent channeling natural enthusiasm and quirky intuition into living a happy, healthy life has given Tania ample experience in dealing with the “Do I have to?” and “Are we there yet?” types of life questions. By learning to tame her wandering attention and stubborn resistance to doing things she knows perfectly well will be good for her, she is uniquely equipped to help others who are inclined to procrastinate and stay ‘stuck’ in a life that is less than ideal.
If you are ready to start designing the life you know inside yourself you are truly capable of living, then Tania is the coach for you.

Richard says: “Before we manage anything else we must manage ourselves. Weight gain is a defence mechanism. The subconscious mind uses the body to send a warning message to the conscious mind. Overweight people know how conscious‚ their weight makes them; this is indeed the intention of the subconscious mind to draw attention to deep latent needs not being addressed.”
Rich agrees that forming good habits play a vital part but feels the secret to achieving genuine weight loss results lies in making a conscious effort to meet one’s deeper needs. This can be done by stimulating personal growth and creating forward momentum.
