Good to meet you!
Aloha! My name is Tabatha and I am a holistic life coach and artist. I currently reside in beautiful Maui, Hawaii. Prior I have resided in California, Vermont, Connecticut, British Columbia, and Montreal, Quebec. Every time you live somewhere it nourishes you with new perspectives and ways of life.
In every situation I have faced, good or bad, I have gone through multiple emotions. In fact sometimes I grew so worried about experiences that it threw me into downward emotional spirals. In these times I often felt very incapable, hopeless, disappointed, disoriented, desperate, the list of associated negative emotions goes on. One day I lost my job that I loved. I was devastated by this loss. I thought everything negative in the book about myself.
That night I laid in bed and the emotional storm raged on in my head. I couldn't sleep. At 3:00am I went into the kitchen and made a cup of tea. I walked over to the mirror and looked at myself. There were bags under my eyes, my skin was lacking color, I didn't look healthy. In that moment I said to myself: "You know what, you did fail. Learn from that and open new doors. If there isn't one, make one. You are worth it." I told myself that for a week or two. My mindset began to change.
I started to look at what I did well and acknowledge what my weaknesses were. It was at this point I granted myself permission to accept myself as I am. I granted myself the right to make mistakes. I started to do away with limits that only came about because of my own mind. It was at this point that my mind let go of the negativity and for the first time in my life I felt emotionally free.
Like a match to a flame, the freedom ignited my mind with light and I could see all these new paths that had for so long been in the dark. In that time is when I began to develop the idea of this website to help others in need. I had the capability for so long but couldn't recognize it because I was so lost in trying to be something I wasn't. We all have an ability to be anything we want, the only limitation is our own mind.
