In this Changemaker Challenge Career Clarity Session, Carly Banks chats with fellow yoga health coach Tania Milliken about raising families with habits of Body Thrive. Tania spent her life serving others. As mom to eight children, including two with special needs, Tania's focus has been outward, nurturing others at the expense of her own self-care. The stress of raising children with complications brought her to a place of overwhelm. Coping came in the form of snacking and a nightly glass of wine (or two), which only exacerbated things. Tania was drawn to Ayurveda when she started researching natural ways to treat her daughter’s ADHD. When she enrolled in the Living Ayurveda course, it forced her to take an honest look at how she was living and coping. She implemented positive shifts in her family's daily routine, and the results were profound. In continuing with the habits of Body Thrive, she's found the ease she so sorely needed in order to continue to support her family. After Living Ayurveda, Tania enrolled in Yoga Health Coaching so that she could help other moms like her. Now through YHC, she offers relief and flow to the community of brave parents and caregivers that support the growth of children with additional needs.
Tania is a foster mom who is raising eight children. She was drawn to Ayurveda when she started researching natural ways to treat her daughter’s ADHD. She enrolled in the Yogahealer Living Ayurveda course and took an honest look at how she was living and coping. She implemented positive shifts in her family's daily routine, and the results were profound. As a yoga health coach, Tania has taken the 10 habits program to a niche segment of the population that she is a part of: parents and caregivers of children with additional needs. Tania’s mission is to help them put themselves first so that they can show up as their best selves and provide even better care to others.
