The gentlest work can move mountains.

I was in search of someone to fill the shoes of my manual osteopathic practitioner I see back home in Toronto while I spent 18 months in Nosara. I needed support with some chronic concerns (jaw/neck/hip pain) and acute injuries (shoulder and hip). I feel very fortunate to have been recommended to Tatiana and received her outstanding care.

As a fellow integrative healthcare provider myself, I appreciate finding people with integrity and commitment to their skillset. Tatiana’s years of training, knowledge and experience are palpable when you are on her treatment table. She has a unique and comprehensive background in massage, cranial sacral therapy, fascial and visceral manipulation. Her approach is gentle, precise and effective. She was able to alleviate my pain and increase my function and range of motion while always giving me context to how her treatments work and helping me understand my body better.

Tatiana is an amazing person both inside and outside the treatment room. Not only is she committed to improving the wellbeing of her clients, she is invested in the community of Nosara and restoring the nature it resides in. I’m immensely grateful to have her in my life.

Tatiana changed my life. After living with a strange pain in my right side for years that many doctors and scans could not diagnose, she determined what was going on in our first session and corrected it. I continued to see her once a month for “self-care tune-ups” for several years because I loved the work and always felt lighter, more clear, and reconnected with my mind and body after our visits. She is an intelligent and no-nonsense person, but at the same time is funny and deeply caring and I cannot recommend her highly enough and only wish we still lived closer to each other!

“Tatiana has a gift, you should see her.” That’s what a friend said to me, and it’s what I tell people now — plus, “You deserve to see her.” The best way I can describe the therapy is like going back to the womb. It’s the only hour that I completely let go and let myself be healed, both physically and emotionally.

I sometimes come in talking the usual fast New York chatter, and Tatiana gently touches my head or an arm and within seconds my mind goes into slow motion. It’s a very gentle process that moved — and continues to move — mountains in my life, not to mention the more obvious physical releases, like the disappearance of migraines I thought were an inevitable part of my life. I have total trust that whatever comes up is completely safe. Going to Tatiana is a little bit like going to heaven.

When I met Tatiana she told me about the work she did. I had little idea what it was. In the course of conversation I became very interested — releasing deep held tension in the body. I’d had discomfort around my diaphragm and ribcage for a long time, and no idea what to expect.

Tatiana found the spot where I felt most of the discomfort almost straight away. I was amazed how easily she could pinpoint it with her hands. I found myself feeling a churning inside, akin to the feeling before crying — and then floods of tears I hadn’t expected. After the treatment the discomfort was greatly relieved. No physical therapy I have ever received has been so effective, or produced such dramatic results. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone with a physical or emotional issue they wish to address. She is amazing.
