Win over negativity
Reduce stress

Welcome to Another Way of Life!

Tired of trying every “proven” strategy and still feeling stuck? You’re not alone.

You’ve climbed the career ladder, built the picture-perfect family, followed meditation gurus, visualized abundance, and listened to every pep talk that promised transformation. Maybe you’ve even found yourself sulking in the corner—or lashing out in frustration—when nothing seemed to work.

I’ve been there. Done it all. Bought the T-shirt… and then let it all go. Want to know how?

Start with this free mini-guide:

SQUASH YOUR INNER CRITIC

Your Solar Return class was amazing! I got so much more out of it than I expected. Our time together is always a reminder that I’m not going crazy. Life is just playing out as it’s meant to be.
Validation at its best.

My story from a Ph.D. in Physics…

I was in the middle of yet another existential crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic was raging. Schools and businesses were closed. A fire at home forced us to move out while we rebuilt. And somewhere in the midst of all that chaos, I found myself standing at the edge of something new.

I couldn’t sleep at night, and when I did, I’d wake before dawn, wondering about life—and my place in it. At work, what I had to offer was overlooked at best and dismissed at worst. I had so much to give, so much to share… but no one seemed ready to receive it. I didn’t know what to do—not just with my job, but with my life. What was the point of it all? Was there even a purpose?

… to Metaphysics, JSJ, Astrology, and more

Fast forward a few years, and I’m a different person—with a clearer vision, renewed confidence, and yes, even a different look. 🙂

I now have a new, more rewarding day job, a private coaching practice, a podcast where I share my stories, and two self-published books. And the cost? A noticeable reduction in guilt, regret, and anger. Talk about a great benefit-to-cost ratio.

What did I do, you ask? The surprising answer is—not much. Because it’s not about adding something you’re missing. It’s about letting go of what’s in the way: the old blocks, the unproductive habits, the patterns of self-sabotage, denial, and grievance. The less I indulged in negative thinking, the better the world around me became. And the better it got, the more inspired I was to keep going.

Self-Paced Classes
Start with a self-paced class on a topic that interests you. Over several days, you’ll receive emails with course materials and illustrations that make it easy to learn at your own rhythm.

Join a small, interactive group where astrology meets practice. These live sessions grew out of my Astrology and Jin Shin Jyutsu classes and are designed as hands-on explorations—hence the name Lab. You’ll watch real charts being interpreted, receive a mini-reading of your own, and have time to ask questions. See the schedule of upcoming classes here.

Private Sessions
If you prefer one-on-one time, you can book an individual astrological reading. These sessions blend astrology with coaching to help you uncover practical, actionable steps for your current life questions.

Testimonials

I came to Tatiana’s group on a friend’s recommendation, not really knowing what astrology was or how to interpret the specifics, let alone what a natal birth chart was. One of the things I love most is how Tatiana makes astrology fun and the different astrological personalities so vivid. Definitely a highlight on my schedule – whether I’m catching the live discussion or catching up on the replays.

Jackie M.TGH Cycles Lab

Tatiana is the consummate professional. She is well-rounded and non-judgmental. I know I will get her honest opinion, which I value. Esoteric can be a lonely set of studies. I feel more connected in a way when I know there is someone to trust who does not have any alternate agenda or plans for exactly what I ‘should’ be doing next.

Glimpses of Effortless Reality

Squash Your Inner Critic

That Inner Critic never sleeps. It nags, lectures, nitpicks—and finds countless ways to make us miserable, even when everything looks fine on the outside. But here’s the good news: your astrological chart can reveal a lot about your Inner Critic—its nature, what sets it off, and how it tends to show up. And the best part? You can learn how to turn the tables and use it to your advantage.
This free mini-guide shows you how. Take a look!

What is your purpose in life?

If you’ve asked yourself this, you’re not alone. Many people avoid or distract themselves from the question—but eventually, it demands to be faced. And when it is, transformation begins. Vague discontent gives way to the breakdown of old habits and beliefs, followed by the deeper work of rebuilding.
How does that process unfold? How do we meet the obstacles—the ingrained, outdated patterns shaped by past experience? And what about the fears and anxieties that inevitably surface during personal transformation?
This free mini-guide explores those questions—and offers insight into how to navigate the path with greater clarity and courage.

Discover Your Purpose Through This Free Mini-Guide

I’m a storyteller trained in the traditional sciences—or maybe a scientist who finds meaning through storytelling. Either way, I invite you to join me on my podcast, Effortless Reality, where I share personal stories and insights on navigating transformation. Together, we’ll explore what works, steer clear of what doesn’t, and—most importantly—stay calm and grounded in the face of uncertainty.
