Tanya Rozenthal: therapist, process work facilitator, embodiment alchemist
Guru Dev Singh, my teacher in Yogic Healing Sat Nam Rasayan, often said: "You can only take your client as far as you have been yourself". This is very true indeed. As a coach, counselor, therapist, you cannot take your clients beyond the territory you are already familiar with. Shamanism knows the concept of the "wounded healer". It is through healing our own pain that we learn how to heal others. All this also applies to my path to supporting others in their life processes.
Because in my life I felt uprooted on several levels and I often had the feeling that I didn't belong (as a world citizen and world traveler with Russian-Jewish and German roots) I was invited by life to find deeper grounding in myself. From this arose the invitation to look for a really tangible and nourishing connection with deeper layers of existence, my roots, traditions and ancestors. In the meantime, as a true world citizen, I feel blessed to share my work and facilitate the workshops, retreats and sessions in the Netherlands and all over the world.
“I see healing as an art: The search for wholeness. The way of the shaman or medicine woman who draws inspiration from the timeless richness of the universal human spirit.”
Fusion of experiences can also be found in my professional background. As a young adult I was trained in musicology and classical literature. As a have more than 15 years of experience in regular women's care as a psychosocial therapist. This provides a combination that makes working with different disciplines during my healing work feel like second nature. But it goes beyond education and work experience ... As a body-focused coach / psychotherapist,Kundalini yoga teacher, musician and healer, I was inspired at some point by several mystical, shamanic and yogic healing traditions.
Deep body- and process work, sex education and intimacy coaching, trauma work, ancestral medicine work and healing the feminine are areas where there is an enormous amount of power for healing. I am ultimately specialized in this and work with it in my practice in Amsterdam.

What I don't want you to know about me ;-)
I still do my best too much and sometimes forget to enjoy what is in life.
I am a chaotic born and for a long time it took me a lot of trouble to make sure that I appeared on time for my appointments.
I know the feeling of loneliness very well.
I regularly doubt my "small" choices and decisions of everyday life.
I still learn to be a "relaxed mother" for my adult daughter and you can see typical scene of two people who “know it better” :)
I have learned that fear, emotional messiness and feeling inadequate are an ordinary and natural parts of "being human." And the key is to radically embrace those parts and uncertainties with compassion, to land deeper and softer into the core of unconditional commitment to yourself.
