About Tania

I guide leaders, individuals, and organizations to show up more powerfully, more authentically, and more aligned with thier greatest aspirations. I bring over 18 years of experience leading teams and facilitating groups, in diverse settings — from startups to Fortune 500 corporations and government environments. I’ve spent my career designing, building, and leading multi-function, global customer service entities, driving organizational strategy and sweeping change initiatives while fostering individual and group flourishing. In the last decade, I’ve focused on working with organizations and leaders on a mission to change the current business model and incorporate diversity, equity, social and environmental responsibility. I’m an Associate Integral Coach™ and Nature Connected Coach™ certified with the International Coaching Federation, hold a bachelors in Business Administration and a Masters in Ecopsychology. Beyond my certifications, my work is deeply informed by my lived experience as a Latina versed in shapeshifting between cultures.

I help leaders and teams build capacity for individual and collective flourishing.

My clients are individuals and leaders who are ready to expand their consciousness in service of their greatest good – for themselves, their communities, their organizations, and the natural world. It’s about recognizing and releasing old patterns, embracing new ones, and moving into the fullest expression of yourself in a way that’s authentic, connected, and honoring.

My own journey through the inner wilderness began over a decade ago. Like many of us, I was conditioned to overtrain my intellectual muscles, and for a long time the exhilaration of advancing a corporate career felt like thriving. As a seasoned business leader managing teams across continents, I discovered a passion for excavating others’ unique gifts and capacities and steering them towards their greatest work. My work was both gratifying and exhausting, and I began seeking more sustainable ways to replenish and grow.

This longing drew me beyond traditional leadership training into new terrain – literally and metaphorically: a multi-day trek in the remote wilderness of Patagonia, Chile. In this astonishing vastness, accompanied by an experienced guide, I began to perceive a broader perspective ¬ in terms of who I am, what gives or takes my energy, and how I might harness my abilities and gifts in service of a greater purpose. It was my first initiation (though not my last) into the spirit of integration, where I learned to connect my mind, my body, and my heart through immersive experiences in nature. 

I began to name and claim the less visible forces that have shaped me into who I am: a woman versed in shapeshifting between cultures, Mexico and the West, having literally grown up on the border between Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas, before going on to live and work in the UK for some 10 years. I’m told my greatest gift is creating safe space for the invisible to be seen and valued. Since then, I pursued a masters in ecopsychology and certificate in integral and nature connected coaching, while building my own leadership coaching and business consulting practice.

Where applicable, my integral coaching toolkit includes nature-based practices. In my experience – both personally and as a practitioner – therapeutic work that incorporates nature-based practices is the most effective, lasting, and likely to inspire profound transformation. While my coaching and leadership work creates sanctuary in boardrooms as well as in nature, it’s about creating fertile ground for transformation that’s both individual and collective.

My hope is that each of us feels emboldened to do the deep inner work that heals and transforms. When we do it for ourselves, we’re better poised to do it for the world.

I specialize in:

  • 1:1 COACHING

    I leverage coaching rooted in the integral method that enables identification of and working with long-standing patterns that get in the way of our aspirations while building the ability to move towards those new aspirations. I also utilize the Enneagram as an assessment lens that helps leaders connect with their unique gifts, motivations, and blind spots.

  • NATURE CONNECTED COACHING

    Where applicable I use nature as an active collaborator or co-guide that facilitates transformative work through greater self-awareness, empowerment, and connection to purpose (nature connected coaching).

  • BUSINESS STRATEGY COACHING

The heart of our work happens at the intersection of adult development and business strategy. We are strategic thought partners for leaders who want to maximize performance, profitability, and personal satisfaction — by centering the human beings that drive their mission.

  • CULTURE BUILDING, FACILITATION & TEAM COACHING

    Our clients are committed to growing their organization and their people — together. Read more about our approach and contact us to schedule consultation.

*I’m certified as an Associate Integral Coach, Nature Connected Coach, Associate Coach with the International Coaching Federation, and iEQ9 (Enneagram).

In my clients words…

  • "

    It was kismet that I ran into Tania as she was building her practice and offered coaching services. I have been out of the corporate world for some time and was struggling with my purpose and a general sense of “too busy to do anything important”. She put into words, and metaphors, what I was feeling so I could focus on the things that truly mattered to me. My time with her helped me label my inner voice and put meaning to what I was intuitively feeling but didn’t know how to push through and act on.

    Tania is a wonderful coach. She is an incredibly good listener. She is empathetic and connected to where I’m at in the moment while bringing huge depth as well as lightness and welcomed humor. My work with her allowed me to go deeper into my own self-awareness and gain new perspectives for the challenges I was facing. The practices Tania recommended allowed me to progress in my transformation journey and I feel more resilient and resourceful.
