ABOUT
Tanya Stocks, a professional dancer, teacher and choreographer with over 25 years of experience; she is an accredited meditation facilitator and founder of InnerMoves.
Dancing before she could even walk, Tanya joined a dance school from age 4 and knew early on that this was the path for her.
During her teen years she developed an eating disorder which devastated her home life and her physical health.
As a result she took the courageous step and asked for help as she realised the danger and impact this would have on her future.
From this point her healing journey began.
With the help of the Eating Disorder clinic and dietician she learnt the importance of expressing her feelings and how to work through trauma.
These tools expanded her knowledge and curiosity to learn more about the "why" things happen in our bodies and minds.
In 2010, through a routine yearly breast check, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Initially shocked to her core; she quicky realised that stress played a huge part in this development.
Running a hairdressing business for 18 years was no longer serving her.
Tanya, knew then that something had to change and decided to use the skills she already developed to help her healing journey once again.
While it was a scary path to embark on dealing with Chemo, multiple operations and doctor's appointments; she found strength in being grateful for every step and to stay connected to dancing through the whole journey.
This birthed a willingness to learn more about her body, mind and emotional wellbeing.
Tanya, attended and studied multiple modalities of coaching and meditation facilitation to widen her skills. This further developed her passion to help other ladies with breast cancer.
In 2017, InnerMoves came to life; her mission was now clear.
Now with a deeper passion; she wants to help others connect with themselves, build resilience, step into their own power, embrace challenges with an open mind, learning how to move freely through dance to unburden their stresses in life.
In order to develop these custom made programs for individuals and groups, Tanya takes the time to know their needs to bring out the best in them ensuring it will benefit their desired outcome.
Through mindfulness, movement and dance she is able to build these programs to help shift how they feel from within.
Tanya believes that being connected to your inner work heals your outer world.
