READY FOR OUR RENAISSANCE
WHAT IF YOUR RELATIONSHIP COULD FEEL AMAZING - FOR BOTH OF YOU?
YES TO WHAT'S POSSIBLE
We don’t just look at what’s happening now.
We uncover the “WHY” behind it.
Whether it’s what you saw growing up, how you were taught to handle conflict, trust issues from past experiences, expectations around roles in your relationship, or cultural pressures you’ve internalized, we get to the core of what’s holding you back.
By understanding where these struggles come from, we can uncover how they’re playing out today - and how to move forward.
Reveal the root of what’s holding you back & strengthen your foundation.
Reignite the physical & emotional connection & intimacy that’s been missing.
Repair past pain & resolve conflict with tools that make tough conversations feel productive, instead of painful.
Rebuild a partnership that is aligned with your values & grows with your future.
Hey, I'm Tanya!
I get it—relationships can be messy, especially when culture, history & expectations collide. Because I've lived it.
A 10-year marriage that ended after we waited way too long to get support. A challenging divorce. And then, a second chance at love—this time, with a relationship coach that helped us build from the ground up.
Over 27 years, I’ve navigated interracial & interfaith marriage, divorce, remarriage, raising two kids from two relationships, and learning how to thrive in blended & intercultural families.
Add in professional certifications, training from The Gottman & Relational Life & Positive Intelligence Institutes, and hundreds of hours coaching couples, and you get a coach who not only understands the complexities of relationships firsthand, but also knows how to help you move through them.
You don’t have to over-explain yourself here. I understand the nuances of culture, communication, and connection—and I know how to help you break old patterns and create a relationship that works for where you are, and who you both are - now.

Pinpoint beliefs causing conflict—understand the cultural expectations and habits creating tension, and learn how to work through them together
THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
Whether you grew up down the street from each other or across the world, the cultural influences you experienced in your family and community shape how you think, feel, and behave in relationships.
Most couples don’t realize how much their cultural backgrounds impact their connection, but ignoring these layers is one of the biggest reasons relationships struggle. In RENAISSANCE, we unpack these dynamics, so you can work through the differences and build a relationship that works for both of you.
Build mutual understanding and respect for the different perspectives & preferences each of you brings to the relationship.
Create new traditions or systems that align with your joint, shared values instead of defaulting to what you grew up with that isn't working
Learn tools to handle external pressure, expectations & opinions from family, culture, or community without guilt, shame, second-guessing yourself or building resentment.
Solo sessions give you a private space to explore your own thoughts, feelings, and triggers without fear of judgment or interruption.
Most therapy & program focus only on the couple. But in RENAISSANCE we combine solo coaching for each partner with couples coaching. This unique hybrid approach helps each of you grow individually while strengthening your relationship as a whole.
You each get space to explore your own thoughts, feelings, and triggers without worrying about your partner judging you or intervening. Then, in joint sessions, you’ll work together on rebuilding trust, connection & communication. This method accelerates your results by ensuring that both of you are doing the work at the same time - individually and together.
Uncover personal blocks and patterns that may be holding you back, making it easier to show up fully in joint sessions.
Create new traditions or systems that align with your joint, shared values instead of defaulting to what you grew up with that isn't working
Learn tools to handle external pressure, expectations & opinions from family, culture, or community without guilt, shame, second-guessing yourself or building resentment.
We were both so frustrated and feeling really disconnected, like there almost was no point in staying together other than our kids. Tanya helped us understand the cultural beliefs fueling our arguments, and we spent a lot of time building ground rules for our relationship - something we never had. Now we can actually talk about hard stuff without it turning into an argument and without us feeling disconnected for days afterwards. Even our kids have mentioned the difference.

RENAISSSANCE PROGRAM
We didn't think we could build back our marriage from infidelity, it felt impossible. But the solo sessions were a game changer. They allowed us to both process separately and then bring that to the couples sessions. It helped us be able to truly hear and understand each other and slowly we have been able to build back the trust and connection we never thought we could have again.

RENAISSANCE PROGRAM
I am happy that I am more confident in myself. I am also able to open a part of my mind that had been restricted. I think I am more romantic now and enjoy looking at what my partner brings instead of what she doesn’t. I am able to think about myself first, fight for what I want in a peaceful way, something that was so hard for me because I wanted to please others first.

RR was created specifically for intercultural couples, and prioritizes cultural sensitivity through story-telling. My hybrid coaching method emphasizes self-awareness, accountability, empathy, and cultural understanding before interventions, deepening healing + growth within the relationship.
Coaching focuses on achieving goals, improving communication, and building personal growth. It's action-oriented, forward-looking, and beneficial for individuals and couples seeking guidance on specific challenges. Therapy addresses mental health issues, unresolved past traumas, and includes deeper psychological exploration. While therapy emphasizes healing from the past, coaching concentrates on empowerment and action-taking in the present, for your future.
WHEN IS THERAPY MORE SUITABLE THAN COACHING?
Coaching is effective for couples seeking growth, better communication, and navigating challenges. However, if one partner is dealing with severe mental health issues like depression or addiction, therapy may be a more suitable initial step to provide the necessary support and intervention before considering coaching.

Renaissance isn't suitable for couples in which one or both individuals have a history of severe unresolved past trauma, addiction, are actively unfaithful, are not committed to the relationship, or are in an open or polygamous relationship.
With 27 years navigating the challenges of (interracial/intercultural) relationships, a life coaching certification, and research-based training with The Gottman & Relational Life Institutes, I offer a unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise. I've personally lived countless hours navigating my own relationships, and successfully coached clients over hundreds of hours, equipping me to guide you through the complexities of your relationship with a personal & culturally-sensitive approach.
Relationship Renaissance is a transformative experience, curated specifically for couples in long-term, committed relationships who are interested in creating real change in the quality and experience of your relationship. That involves taking a look beyond what's obvious, and going deeper into your personal stories, so you can better understand the root of your issues, rather than just dealing with the symptoms as they come up.
If you're a couple that is invested in figuring things out, building, and finding a way to grow together that also allows you to be YOU, then Relationship Renaissance would be a powerful experience for you.
Relationship Renaissance offers a transformative experience curated specifically for couples in interracial & intercultural committed relationships. Compared to traditional therapy that charges by the session, usually continues for extended periods of time, and involves each of you also seeking individual therapy, Relationship Renaissance compounds your efforts and multiplies your effects by offering a unique opportunity to coach solo AND together. This hybrid coaching approach not only multiplies the impact through individual and joint sessions but also equips you with tools to prevent "relationship relapses" and create sustainable, effective positive change.
