I spent years hamster-wheeling through life, constantly fighting to achieve, feeling burnt-out and lost in the process. Then I stopped striving… and everything changed.
I’m Tamsin. Somatic coach, shamanic alchemist, writer, speaker and recovering perfectionist.
Born in Hong Kong, shaped by a life lived across Sydney, Tokyo and Singapore… and still, always, fuelled by curiosity, creativity and the deep belief that you are already enough exactly as you are.
But I didn't always believe that. Not even close.
For years I looked like someone who had it together. Successful career as a magazine editor. Tick. Before that, a law degree. Tick. Achieving, producing, delivering. Always, always more.
Underneath it all I was exhausted. Quietly, chronically running on empty. Highly sensitive in a world that had no language for that. Beating myself up for being ‘too emotional,’ too much, not enough. Waking up with that low hum of dread that I couldn't quite explain and definitely couldn't admit to.
I tried to think my way out of it. I tried to achieve my way out of it. Neither worked.
What worked was going deeper. Into the body, into the nervous system, into the parts of myself I'd been avoiding for years. Through somatic coaching, shamanic energy medicine and the slow, sometimes uncomfortable work of actually accepting myself, I found my way back. Not to some new version of myself. Back to who I had always been.
It wasn’t a lightning bolt moment, but somewhere, in the slow, subdued unravelling, I found myself.
The flawed, imperfect version of me who was worthy of love and approval from the very beginning.
I realised the wholeness I had been chasing was never ahead of me. It was here. It had always been here. I had already arrived — I just hadn't stopped long enough to feel it.
Now I help anxious overachievers, deep feelers and creatives do the same.
As a somatic coach and life coach, I specialise in parts work. The practice of working with the different, often conflicting parts of ourselves that drive our behaviour, our beliefs and our pain. I help people get out of the exhausting loop of perfectionism and self-criticism and into something far more powerful: radical self-acceptance.
As a shamanic alchemist, I work with change itself as a catalyst, using elemental energy work, ceremony and ancient wisdom to help people upgrade their relationship with themselves and with reality.
I also teach weekly classes to reset the nervous system, reconnect to intuition and help people find their own answers… from the inside out.
And I speak. On stages, on the themes that matter most to me: enoughness, self-acceptance, and the quiet revolution of deciding you were never broken in the first place.
Lasting change happens when you feel truly seen, truly heard and truly safe. When you stop trying to fix yourself and start accepting yourself instead.
Surface-level, mind-only approaches will only take you so far. My work holds all of you: mind, body, emotion and energy. It's deep, collaborative, high-touch and grounded in the simple but radical belief that you already have everything you need inside you. My job is to help you access it.
Book a session
Sometimes all it takes is a single moment of clarity.
Whether you're at a crossroads, carrying something heavy, or simply feeling the pull to go deeper… a single session creates the space to shift perspective, reset your nervous system and reconnect to what you already know, from the inside out.
Nothing is off the table. Everything is welcome.
High-touch coaching
The most transformative thing you will ever do is stop fighting yourself.
Bespoke, high-touch private coaching for deep feelers, anxious overachievers and creatives.
Using somatic coaching, parts work and shamanic energy medicine, we go to the places that mind-only approaches can't reach, so we can find what's been waiting there all along.
Creative support
Your creativity deserves a devoted collaborator.
Whether you're writing a book, developing an idea or simply trying to reconnect with the joy of creating, this is where we roll up our sleeves together.
Editorial support, creative coaching, manuscript editing and ongoing creative accountability for writers and creatives who want to do their best work and love every step of getting there.
