Patient, kind, gentle, intuitive, wise, gifted, insightful, these are just some of the adjectives that describe Tanya. I first attended one of her healing retreats three years ago, and am looking forward to attending this one as well. Each year I come, I am changed in ways I never anticipated.

My experience with Tanya White has been nothing short of amazing! She has held space for me in moments when I've wanted to give up. She helped me see that everything that is happening to me is only for me and my continued growth! She has assisted me in stepping into my power and owning all of who I am, not just parts of me. Her gentle spirit and her intuitive gifts have always truly inspired me to go deeper in my own spiritual practice. Tanya is not only my spiritual counselor, but she is my soul sister. I always, always, always get everything I need and so much more from a session with her. I'm really looking forward to booking more sessions with her in the very near future. Tanya truly has a calling on her life and she is nothing short of an amazing woman inside and out!! I am forever grateful. Thank you!!! With love, Dee.

Tanya is truly an authentic and a beautiful “Earth Angel”! She came to me when I least expected but when I truly needed someone to help me with clarity and guidance! Divine Intervention! She not only has helped me get through some very tough days, she continues to see me through. This has made me not only feel that any doubt I had about my journey is completely just that a “doubt”, but has given me complete confidence in myself and my life purpose! Not often do you find someone with her amazing gifts from God, but the way she uses her gifts is beautiful and selfless! I have been honored and graced for her to be part of my growth and evolution on my path of discovering who I am. She has helped me reach my full potential by removing and healing all that has and is holding me back. It is a wonderful feeling to know I have Tanya beside me when ever I need and even when I don’t ask she is still there. I knew my life was going to start changing for the better the moment she became a part of it! I feel this to be true for anyone that she encounters!! Like I said she is authentic and proof that there are angels walking among us!!!! I will never forget the amazing words you gave to me when you made contact with my Grandparents on the other side after their death. Thank you Tanya for all that you are and all that you do!

Some people are good at what they do and some are great. Tanya however, was born to do what she does; help people heal. While grieving the loss of my sister and mother, she helped me navigate this difficult time through guided meditation and spiritual support. She gave me sound and insightful advice even as my mother was transitioning. I am so grateful to have had such a safe place to land at that time in my life. She was quite literally the miracle in the midst of my storm.

When this retreat was first offered I thought to myself, I really need this. So I jumped at the opportunity and began with my payment plan without hesitation. As we got closer I began to second guess my decision. Thinking of every reason why this might not be a good idea. After a few hemmin' and hawin' sessions with myself I decided to go. What could it hurt? After all since August of 2014 I had been hit with one blow after another, deaths, failures, disappointments. I didn't know which way to go. I was also anxious about traveling with people I had gone to high-school with but had not seen in years, what would this be like. An 8 hour ride, laughing till we had tears in our eyes, reminiscing, sharing some of our stories was great. We arrived and the energy shifted. It was time to be healed. I told Tanya and the other participants I wanted to leave on Sunday with a certificate that said Imani Coleman has officially been healed. Knowing that was not how this worked I settled in and decided I would open myself up to receive it all. Through the weekend my heart sank. rose, palpitated, and sank again. I then began to think I would be stuck in this place and not be able to get out. The lessons learned, the movements, sounds the very protected energy was something to behold. Amma Tanya is an awesome healer. Her energy is amazing and was the catalyst for my journey. She explained every step, the physical, emotional, spiritual and prepared me for many things to come. So grateful!

My experience at the Love Heals Retreat 2017 was positively transformative. Amma Tanya created a safe space to heal in beautiful surroundings. That weekend was a profound opportunity to see and reach beyond our limitations and wounds. I left deeply appreciative of everyone who contributed to our weekend of insight, acceptance and healing.
And we don't just need this when our lives are a mess, we need these intentionally healing journeys as part of our ongoing spiritual growth. I showed up ready to close the gap between who I had been and who I am becoming. Leaving the retreat with new levels of appreciation for what is and self acceptance has been more incredible than I ever imagined. Since our weekend together I live with greater awareness and access to a wealth of internal/intangible resources.
Amma Tanya shows up powerfully with love and grace as she affirms and summons the wisdom of the individuals and the group. We leave with gifts beyond words.
Saying yes to this weekend is a glorious gift for yourself and the world we share.

It’s been hard putting into words what my experience was because it’s been life changing. My background is Christian/Baptist. Though I never really felt a connection to that religion, I’ve always felt a connection to God. So I went on the retreat not knowing what to expect, but knowing it was unlike any retreat I’ve ever been on. You know the kind of retreat where they speak in tongues/lay hands on you and preach fire and brimstone. All of which is fine, but for me, it was a temporary fix/moment that was highly emotional, but never really had a lasting affect and didn’t provide me with the tools needed once I left the retreat. The Love Heals retreat was different… We dealt with everything from Chakras & energy healing, healing through sound, healing through water, healing through movement, healing childhood issues, meditation, and Chakra readings. It was an intimate retreat (4 female participants), which created a space of family/sisterhood and safety, like I’ve never experienced before. I went to the retreat feeling so many different emotions, feeling anxious, not able to sleep, not at peace with anything and constantly condemning myself for all of those emotions/feelings. In the days, weeks after the retreat, I’ve found myself feeling FREE, at peace, aware and even though things aren’t all peaches, I’m okay. Since I’ve been home, I’ve been making an effort to be kind to myself and it feels good! I’m looking forward to the next retreat. If you have an opportunity to attend one of the Love Heals retreats, do yourself a favor and GO. It’s truly one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself.

I attended the Love Heals Retreat in the Spring of 2017. I am a cancer survivor that suffered from numerous side effects of chemotherapy treatment and I was struggling with adjusting to my new "being" so to speak and thought a healing retreat would be a catalyst to getting the old me back. Let me start by saying that I had an awesome experience under the guidance and tutelage of Amma Tanya White. The retreat was held on a serene farm with the majestic Smoky Mountains as the back drop and I immediately felt my tension dissipate upon my arrival. There were various services in which to indulge like deep tissue massages, chakra healing through water therapy and music, and yoni steam baths. During my time at this retreat, I was able to reconnect with nature and mother Earth, get some much needed rest and partake of some healthy meals prepared from food of local farmers and commune with some amazing women who were also seeking spiritual healing. My entire experience was truly priceless and I look forward to attending one of Amma Tanya's Healing Retreats in the future!

Dearest Amma Tanya, today while sitting on a park bench eating my lunch, I was acutely aware of the sunshine, the squirrels racing up the tree, the wind on my skin, and I smiled. I smiled a smile that felt like it came from a place, way, way deep inside my heart and soul. I have you to thank for that. After having been in traditional therapy for years, I must admit that I was quite skeptical when a friend referred me to you and sang your praises of how much you had helped her. I had my doubts, because nothing and no one had been able to help ease the debilitating, crippling impact of the depression I was in or stop the reoccurring panic attacks I suffered stemming from reliving the trauma of my childhood. Medicine wasn't enough. It just took the edge off. And hours upon hours of sitting across from someone nodding their head at me in some fake, preemptive, dry way as if they understood what I was going through, irritated me to no end! And then I met you. That first day just sitting with you I felt a sense of comfort that I had never experienced before. I felt that for the first time, I was really being heard and SEEN. I can't explain it really, because you were simply sitting and listening...but your Presence was so soothing, yet strong and calming all at the same time. Nothing about our sessions has been 'traditional'. I so appreciate the 'homework' assignments you give me each session, no matter how strange or odd they may seem at the time, I have to admit that they have changed me from the inside out in ways I wasn't even aware of until now (especially the tree hugging one and giving myself permission to re-visit child-hood and make mud-pies in the dirt. I had so much fun with that homework)! It really surprised me how much lighter I felt just from playing. NO therapist has ever given me homework, and certainly not homework like that! Anyway, I don't want to go on and on. But I just had to write and say thank you so very much for being who you are! I can feel you sincerely care about your clients and this is not just work for you. I am eternally grateful for your healing service and am happier today because of it. Forever grateful, Mark

"I’ve seen counselors and therapists for years! Amma Tanya White is different. On our first video session, I immediately felt her healing energy. Without a word, I recognized a strong woman who surely had risen from her own trauma, having done the hard work of healing herself. She has a unique compassion, empathy, and understanding, but more importantly, a wisdom that can only come from such a life experience. Like a laser, she can hone in on the Truth of a situation and gently help bring it into my awareness. Her unique approaches go beyond traditional talk therapy to accelerate dislodging “that which no longer serves me” from where it has been buried in my body, mind, and spirit for far too many years. She doesn’t hesitate to push me outside of my comfort zone. This is truly authentic and effective healing work. While sessions can sometimes feel uncomfortable or raw, Amma always holds a safe space for whatever unfolds. I am grateful to work with her. She is the real deal".

I have worked with Amma Tanya for the past 4 months. What I appreciate about our work together is that she is a deeply compassionate healer who will go to whatever length to help others heal. I have attended therapy in the past but Amma Tanya makes you participate in your recovery by using holistic tools which help you open up and look at the Real you. This is the first time I have gone this far with a therapist. The work I have done thus far with her has allowed my heart to bust wide open! It has allowed me to access parts of myself long hidden away, as well as trauma in need of healing in a safe environment. I am so grateful for her willingness to walk beside me as I heal and grow. I can not say enough about Amma Tanya White. She is truly gifted.
