Welcome Home
Hello, I’m Tina, thanks for landing here.
I’m an author and inspired traveller devoted to experiencing different wildlife habitats, spiritual traditions, and cultures. For over a decade, I’ve been walking with people, not only around planet Earth, but more importantly, through the landscapes of their own souls.
I call this work Soul Conservation.
A Soul Conservationist is someone devoted to the alchemy of inner transformation, tending the inner world with the same reverence as the outer ecosystem.
My mission is to guide people through the breath and death thresholds of their middle passage rites, the endless cycles of endings, beginnings, and becomings that shape a meaningful life.
My work offers an intuitive, embodied approach to healing, trauma release, grief tending, and emotional freedom. It is rooted in the body’s wisdom and the power of storytelling. I teach and speak across multiple modalities, weaving together decades of experience in intuition, writing, yoga, rebirthing breathwork, meditation, spinal energetics, and retreat leadership.
I am continually deepening my study of nature-based rewilding, rites of passage, and those threshold moments and liminal spaces where true transformation occurs.
My heart’s desire is to serve the whole, not the role, and to walk beside you as you uncover what truly makes you come alive.
Together we live the questions:
What is dying?
What is being reborn?
How can I best serve what my soul is asking me?
