I don’t paddle in the shallow end.

I’m Tanya, founder of Love Buddha and creator of The Alchemy Method.

I’ve always been fascinated by people: what makes us tick, why we do what we do, where our patterns begin and what lies beneath the stories we tell ourselves. I’m Scorpio rising, so that explains a few things.

I'm a contradiction in terms.

I can spend hours exploring consciousness, psychology and the depth of existence, then find myself laughing like a child at something ridiculous. Friends have described me as simple in my complexity and easy like quantum physics…

For over three decades, I’ve studied, practised and taught the esoteric arts, exploring where psychology, human behaviour, consciousness and the unseen meet. I’m an intuitive by nature, an artist within my soul and a businesswoman by experience. My work draws on Archetypal wisdom, Energetics, Tarot, Astrology, Human Design and Gene Keys, alongside years of teaching and lived experience.

I spent years working as a spiritual guide. Yet, now spirituality seems to have become saturated and deconsecrated. I’m done with that. What I believe in is integration rather than image. To me, true spirituality is authenticity: the freedom to be who we really are, beyond the experiences, expectations, conditioning and beliefs we’ve accumulated. Integrity is of great importance and embodiment is key.

I feel everything deeply. I work with energy. I see what’s off, I feel what’s off, and I’m able to transmute it. Once we strip those stories away, we’re free to be whoever we were born to be.

I listen to what’s said, and often to what isn’t. I ask questions, sometimes uncomfortable ones, I’m comfortable sitting with life’s difficult moments, I’ve had my fair share. Yet, I truly believe there’s wisdom in our experiences and extraordinary potential in our pain.

I’ve had a plethora of adventures, I’ve travelled the world, had mind blowing moments and earth shattering ones. I’ve built businesses, lost businesses, I’ve loved deeply and lost painfully. I’ve looked at things from the top of a pedestal and from the gutter and value each as holding great importance.

This is not just what I do for work, this is my life’s work. I believe that life can be tough, yet so are we. The human experience is gloriously ridiculous. I've always believed that profound insight and a sense of humour are equally valuable in navigating the human experience.
