I’m Tanja – Healthspan Coach, certified in Functional Medicine, and someone who’s been exactly where you are

Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach (FMCA) · Advanced Functional Medicine Certificate (2026-28) · Certified Yin Yoga Teacher · Speaker · Former Googler · 20+ years in corporate & tech

I didn’t come to health coaching through textbooks. I came through lived experience.

A combination of perimenopause and ME/CFS & Long COVID left me barely functioning. I was told I might never recover. Doctors ran tests, said everything looked fine, and sent me home. But I knew something was very wrong – and I wasn’t willing to accept that this was just life now.

So I researched. I tested. I made small but powerful changes to how I ate, moved, slept and managed stress. Slowly, I rebuilt my health – and in doing so, I discovered what it actually means to optimise for the long term, not just survive day to day.

That experience changed everything. It led me to retrain as a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach, and I haven’t looked back.

Who I work with

I work with three distinct groups – all of them done with being told their results are “normal” when they know something isn’t right.

Metabolic Health & Hormone Balance If you’re exhausted, foggy, wide awake at 3am or watching your body change in ways that don’t make sense, I help you understand your biology – and build habits that support it for the long term.
Precision Health For individuals and organisations who want to stay ahead. Data-led, personalised, proactive health optimisation – because the best time to invest in your healthspan is before you need to.
ME/CFS & Long COVID If you’re caught in the push/crash cycle, dismissed by doctors, or struggling to explain why you can’t just push through – I understand. I’ve been there. I work with you gently, at your pace, with root-cause strategies designed specifically for you.

A bit more about me

When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me in cold water – the colder the better. I’m also a forest walker, a historical fiction reader, and someone who takes their yin yoga practice seriously. I believe slowing down is a skill, not a weakness – and that the habits you build in the quiet moments are the ones that hold you when life gets loud.
