The Holistic Practitioner, LLC

About Me

Hi!  I’m Tania Zieja and I’m a product of the product.  I found life coaching and CranioSacral therapy a few years ago when I wanted more out of life.  Specifically, I wanted to experience more joy from both my work life and personal life.  I wanted to put my health and wellness on the priority list and not the afterthought list.  I found myself searching the internet for the answer until I came across my Coach/CranioSacral therapist’s profile.  When I read her story and her service offerings, I knew she was the person who I wanted to join me on my journey. 

I enjoyed my sessions with my Coach/CranioSacral therapist, but it wasn’t until my coworkers and family noticed a difference in me that I really understood the positive impact these sessions were having on myself and those around me.  I still work with my Coach/CranioSacral therapist and have achieved numerous goals towards a happier, healthier, and more fulfilled life.  She has continued to be a supportive member of my personal care team and holds me accountable to the goals I set for myself.  When I conquer a goal, there is nothing better than to take a moment to smile and celebrate the accomplishment with my family, my friends, and my Coach.  Knowing that I have such an incredible and supportive group of people cheering me on at every milestone, makes doing the work worth it day in and day out.  I’m hoping to be one of those supportive individuals for you.

I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist with over 20 years of experience, a CranioSacral practitioner, a lifestyle, wellness, and nutrition coach, a menopause coach, a career coach, an eternal learner, and a former life science executive.  Given my diverse background, I bring a variety of experiences and expertise into our conversations.  I also have an extensive network of professionals to connect you with should we need to pull in additional support.  My goal is support you, as a whole patient.  As such, I will be there to support you at every step of your journey. 

I formed The Holistic Practitioner, LLC to be able to work one on one with my patients who are ready to embark on a health and wellness journey.  That journey looks and feels different for each person, however, I will be working with you to help uncover the best solutions for you to achieve your goals.  Those solutions may pull from many different parts across the entire US health care system.  I am not a doctor; however, I am determined to use my combined knowledge and network to build a better solution for patient care.  That solution starts with treating the whole patient.  I support Western medicine, Eastern medicine and everything in between because each of them have their purpose.  I believe that there is no one size fits all solution when it comes to patient care and that the whole patient needs to be treated and not just the symptom.

 As I mentioned above, I, too, am on a health and wellness journey to be the best and healthiest version of myself.  My journey has taught me a lot of things, one of the main things being that our minds and bodies are incredibly resilient, yet they hold onto memories, behaviors, and thought patterns that aren’t always helpful when you have a wellness goal.  It is through my own personal experience with combining CranioSacral Therapy with coaching that I have been able to make monumental progress towards my wellness goals and to be able to give myself grace when it didn’t come together exactly how I thought it would.

My promise to you is to be a light on your path and to join you on your journey to help you achieve the outcomes that you are after.  I am your accountability partner and am here to help you along the way, drawing from my knowledge and network to help steer you in the right direction should you need it.  I’m looking forward to supporting the whole you on your health and wellness journey.  Please reach out via email, text or cell to embark on the journey together.
