SPIRIT MOVES LLC

​ The Personal in the Professional Music moves me daily. I’m an improvisational singer and dancer, pouring creative energy into the singing ensembles and dance communities I belong to. ​ I’m also captivated by the art of creating sanctuary—through tranquil, inviting interior design and through connection with the natural world. I’m an avid gardener and houseplant tender, continually deepening my relationship with plants and herbal medicine. As an ambivert, I sway between social extroversion and quiet introspection. I’m a soul-family tender and community cultivator, devoted to connection and belonging. ​ For decades, I’ve been an auntie and godmother to many beloved children. I loved my 10 years working in K–12 schools, and I chose not to become a birth mother this time around. I’ve always loved cats and currently share my home with a spirited tuxedo kitty named Cleo, who we rescued early in the pandemic. ​ My ethnic identity is bicultural. My mother grew up in the Arctic region of rural Norway and raised us to both assimilate and honor our cultural roots. I hold the unearned privileges of whiteness in this country and many others, and I was raised to be an ally and accomplice to Black, Indigenous, and People of Culture, as well as to non-Christians. This is an ever-evolving and sacred practice I remain devoted to. ​ Christianity is part of my heritage, but I feel most rooted in pre-Christian spiritual traditions and the wisdom of yoga and mysticism. I was initiated early into interfaith, multicultural feminism, and to this day I gather with women to honor the cycles of earth, sun, and moon—uplifting one another in a world that often devalues us. ​ I use she/her pronouns and identify as a queer femme. I came out as a teen in the 1980s, having known I was a sexual minority since kindergarten. I am a proud ally to folx on all parts of their gender and sexuality journeys. ​ My favorite temples are the vast, wild landscapes of nature. I seek out remote outdoor adventures—on foot, kayak and bicycle—as a way to stay connected to the sacred, to my body, and to joy. My family is neuro-spicy and I embrace the neurodivergent paradigm that views neurological differences, such as giftedness, autism and ADHD, as natural variations of human psycho-neuro-biology.     ​ While Greta Thunberg and I may or may not be related, I share her deep concern about climate change. I draw inspiration from her and others to live with greater ecological care—starting with small, personal actions like a delicious whole food, plant-based diet. ​​ ​---->>> ​ And if you're wondering what this all means for our work together... ​​ Well, while I bring my whole self to this work, our time together will center you—your relationship, your process, your healing. Therapy isn’t about arriving at some ultimate destination. It's about rediscovering wholeness, moment by moment and moving through milestones with support. ​​ I encourage my clients to build a support team—practitioners, practices, and beloveds—to help light the way through tight places and grief spaces. Together, we can cushion your journey with compassion and orient your inner compass toward presence, orientation and resilience. ​​ It would be an honor to walk alongside you in this chapter of your life. ​​ With warmth, Tatianah ​​​​​​
