The one thing that changes everything is the ability to be present.

About Tania

Hi, I’m Tania, and I created Turn Up Your Zen for people like you—capable, caring, and committed to others but often stretched too thin, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your own needs. Over the years, I noticed that while yoga and meditation provided relief, they weren’t enough to change the underlying patterns causing stress, anxiety, and burnout.

That’s why I developed a more integrated approach, blending mindfulness, coaching, counselling and somatic therapy, with neuroscience-backed strategies to help people not just manage stress but transform the way they relate to themselves and the world.

My Mission

  • I help individuals process difficult emotions, break free from patterns of overthinking, avoidance, and self-doubt, and develop the skills to cultivate inner calm and resilience. My work includes one-on-one coaching, counselling, therapy, mindfulness training, and group sessions.
  • I don’t preach or follow rigid philosophies. Instead, I meet you where you are, helping you discover the answers already within you. My goal is to empower you with practical, evidence-based tools so that peace isn’t just a rare moment, but an accessible, everyday experience.

Do any of these sound like you?

  • You struggle to switch off, which affects your sleep and energy levels.
  • You’re physically present with loved ones but mentally elsewhere.
  • You take on too much to keep the peace, avoiding conflict.
  • You have deep emotions but struggle to express them constructively.
  • Stress is impacting your health, relationships, or overall well-being.
  • You’re juggling caregiving, work, and family, leaving little time for yourself.
  • You often dwell on the past and find it hard to let go.
  • You experience emotional highs and lows and want better mood regulation.
  • You struggle to find healthy ways to manage your stress.
If any of this resonates, Turn Up Your Zen is here to help.

My Journey

Tania Burgess

I know firsthand what it’s like to be overwhelmed. I spent years in high-pressure roles, running on stress and caffeine, until I reached burnout. I assumed peace was something you found in rare moments of escape—until I learned that presence and balance are skills we can cultivate, no matter how full life is.

Since that realisation, I have dedicated myself to deep study and practice, earning qualifications in mindfulness, coaching, somatic therapy, counselling and psychotherapy. I’ve raised two daughters, navigated loss, overcome an eating disorder, and experienced the ups and downs of relationships. Through it all, the ability to be present, grounded, and responsive rather than reactive and collapsed has been life-changing.

In 2015, my family and I spent 16 months traveling through Europe and North Africa, homeschooling our children while immersing ourselves in new cultures. This time reinforced my belief that healing and transformation don’t require a complete retreat from life—they come from integrating mindfulness and self-awareness into daily moments.

I’ve also walked the path of significant life transitions, including navigating complex relationships and family dynamics with resilience. My experiences of supporting neurodiverse loved ones and managing my own well-being along the way have deepened my understanding of emotional regulation, self-trust, and the power of embracing change.
