About Dr. Tatiana
I am a researcher (PhD), consultant and transformational coach in leadership and change processes. I have shifted my focus from leadership of societies, institutions and organizations to self-leadership, and now help others to become leaders in their own lives – to handle difficult life situations, overcome their own limitations, including health-related ones, and live out their true selves.
Despite a long academic education with a specialization in applied psychology as well as additional certifications in holistic well-being and both modern and ancient knowledge and practices, my most important education comes from overcoming my own life crises and being enriched by varied life experiences.
Due to my own battle with a long-term disabling illness (M.E.) and an unwavering belief that I will one day find freedom, I have immersed myself in holistic health for 13 years.
I have acquired knowledge that is hidden from most people, tried countless routines and practices for body, mind, emotions, energy and soul, healed small traumas and stagnant emotions, got to know myself on an energy level, faced a lot of internal resistance to embracing inner power.
Thanks to the tireless effort for my own life, I have developed unique abilities to guide others and a method where academic depth meets practical spirituality.
I am an analyst, creator and empath in one person.
I stand for self-love, emotional intelligence and the joy of being alive – even when life challenges.
I believe in inner resources, vitality and the ability to master. I believe in a world without borders.
I work fluently in three languages – Russian, Norwegian and English, and am improving Spanish.
As a manifestor by energy type, I am able to open up space for others with new scenarios, insights, emotional landscapes, approaches to life, own creative expressions… so that one reaches out for their higher self.
Fun facts About dr. Tatiana
My favorite childhood game was to be a teacher – caring, wise and a believer in the success of my students. It also became my first paid job at the age of 12 – I am a natural mentor.
As a PhD student at Nord University’s School of Economics, I visited the offices in Smolnyj and the rector’s private residence at the medieval university in Uppsala. As a lead analyst for inclusion in Norwegian government structures, I organized the 8th of March event with Queen Sonja. As a senior researcher at the University of OsloMet, in a global project “Responsible Technology and Innovation”, I enjoyed the sunset from the roof of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, which was closed to tourists. As a project manager for a three-year research project on innovation in social policy, I sowed seeds of new thinking on various conference stages, including a hall with over a thousand people.
I lifted myself out of a disabling autoimmune disease without doctors or medication, by being my own guru – and motivated myself to regain strength and stamina by setting a living goal to climb Kilimanjaro when I am fully healthy.
When I opened the door to my subconscious, I stepped onto the path of the creator. After turning 40, I overcame the belief that I “can’t”, and began writing therapeutic poetry, painting high-vibrational pictures – and now I am completing my first novel with the working title “Scientist who has become disabled”.
I have the rare energy type Manifestor by Human Design. I live it to the fullest through the ability to capture, communicate and realize impulses I receive through contact with spaces of opportunity. For example, I bought my first house on my 29th birthday, while standing on top of the Eiffel Tower. Or I have organized and carried out a year-long family stay in the Canary Islands. I can expand the space of possibilities and create unique, beautiful life experiences for myself and my network.

Five Things I Wish I Knew Before I Went on Long-Term Sick Leave…
My approach
Research-based and educational
I work with a solid academic foundation and the ability to, like Sherlock Holm, delve deeply into issues. I clarify concepts, build analytical structures for insights and lessons learned, develop plans and programs, and communicate in such a way that the knowledge is understood and made my own.
Completely
I am able to work with a holistic approach: physical, mental, emotional, energetic, spiritual. This allows me to reach the individual’s blockages and opportunities where they are most clear. It also helps to anchor positive change on multiple levels at once. With me, you don’t have to go to multiple therapists and get a lot-in-one.
Creative and tailor-made
Creativity is not just art – it is the way we encounter life, with flexibility, presence and the will to create something new. I believe in play, curiosity and creative expression as healing powers.
Through symbols, images, stories and small experiments, new spaces for insight and freedom are opened. No two people are the same, and no processes should be the same either.
I adapt every meeting, every practice and every method to you – your starting point, pace and goals.
The approach is shaped in dialogue, with respect for where you are, and trust that you carry the answers within you.
Sensitive
As a highly sensitive person and professional, I am trained to notice the subtle: energy, mood, words that are not said, and the body’s small signals.
I meet you with care, security and empathy – so that you can lower your guard and open up for deeper change.
Sensitivity is a strength when used consciously.
Inspiring / Engaging
I want the process to energize you, encourage you to reach new heights, and increase your belief in yourself and the possibilities that exist.
My approach is vibrant, engaging, and nurturing.
By Example
I am often referred to as a role model – not because I teach from a podium, but because I live what I teach. I don’t “preach”, I practice.
Shadow work, routines, lifestyle changes, confrontations, self-healing and continuous development are part of my everyday life.
I do my inner work. I look challenges and life crises in the face. I learn from my own mistakes. Dedicated. Honest. With love.
And that is why I know that positive change is possible.
MY VALUES
Integrity
I stand firm in what I believe in because it cost me a lot to fine-tune my inner compass and create inner wholeness.
Working with integrity for me is being honest with myself and others, acting conscientiously, and choosing what is true over what is comfortable. It is daring to go into the depths of discomfort and resistance, because that is where the source of the greatest breakthroughs lies. It is also choosing to open up to a greater space of knowledge, to approach a person and a life in a holistic way: through body, thoughts, feelings, energy, and the spiritual.
Authenticity
Everything authentic has power. I believe in vulnerable strength, in showing yourself as you are – without masks, but with dignity.
Authenticity creates presence, trust and life energy. In vulnerability, the ability to face inner resistance, let go of old burdens, show self-compassion and restore the source of our true expression and meaning in life.
Goodness
True growth occurs when we meet ourselves and others with gentleness, not condemnation.
Kindness opens the heart and creates security for development.
As an empath, I know that kindness can be abused in past relationships and experienced as a failure. Yet it is through kindness that we can flourish.
Responsibility
I live and teach self-management – the art of taking responsibility for one’s own mind, body, energy and direction. When we take our lives into our own hands, we can learn to steer ourselves in the direction we want..
I help you stand at the center of your own life, consciously and in action.
Wisdom
Wisdom is knowledge and experience that has brought the heart with it. For me, knowledge is “embodied.”
