MEET TIA
Your past does not get to decide what comes next.
My own journey through success, burnout, trauma, healing and reinvention shaped the way I help others move beyond what past experiences have left behind and create what they truly desire.
THE QUESTIONS STARTED EARLY
I started asking the big questions early.
When I was six, I was walking through the woods in Whately, Massachusetts, with my family when I turned to my father and asked, “What is God?”
He looked around us and said, “God is everywhere. In the trees, the animals, the plants. All around you.”
Something about that answer landed deeply. I did not fully understand it, but I felt the truth of it.
My mother encouraged that curiosity in her own way. Her interests in ancient cultures, spirituality and the unexplained filled our home with ideas that suggested life might be far more mysterious than it appeared.
That curiosity eventually led me to earn a degree in religious studies, with a focus on the Second Temple period through the historical perspective of Judaism. Apparently, even my spiritual seeking required research and analysis.
Long before healing became my profession, I was already trying to understand our relationship with the Divine, what gives life meaning and what helps us become more fully who we are.
That curiosity would eventually lead me to earn a degree in religious studies...
THE DETOUR
For a while, I traded seeking for succeeding.
When I was fifteen, I read Siddhartha, and it completely blew my mind.
I wanted to know how someone became that still. That awake.
So, naturally, I bought books about meditation, did my best to sit in the appropriate poses and waited for enlightenment.
It did not arrive!
For a while, I traded seeking for checking out. There was a lot of partying and a lot of avoiding how unhappy I was with the direction my life was taking.
There was also ambition.
I entered the corporate world, worked hard and became very good at succeeding by its standards. By twenty six, I had a corner office and a seat at the boardroom table.
On paper, I was thriving. And to be fair, part of me was. I was capable, driven and discovering how much I could accomplish.
But the deeper questions had not gone anywhere.
I had simply become very busy, and very successful, at not listening to them.
And as I would learn later, all that partying and ambition turned out to be a much faster route to burnout than enlightenment.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF CALLING
Then I left the corner office for backstage.
I walked away from the corporate path and into the world of live music which had always been my first love. A world that made far less sense on paper and far more sense to me.
What followed was more than twenty years producing music festivals, art directing large-scale events, road managing and creating experiences designed to bring people together. Eventually, I founded my own company, appropriately named Moving Parts Productions — because there were always a lot of them.
I loved the intersection of creativity and execution: taking an idea that existed in someone’s imagination and figuring out how to make it real.
Because inspiration is lovely, but the doors still have to open on time.
Live events taught me how to anticipate what people needed before they asked, remain calm when everything around me was decidedly not calm and bring hundreds of moving parts together around one shared purpose.
They also taught me something about energy long before I had professional language for it. I saw how a thoughtfully created environment could shift the way people felt — how music, beauty, intention and human connection could turn an ordinary space into an experience people carried with them.
I was good at that work.
I loved that work.
And I was running at a pace no one could sustain forever.
THE RETURN
Eventually, my body entered the conversation.
I had been a vegetarian since the late 1990s and was already curious about natural approaches to health. But in 2011, after years of relentless schedules, constant travel and pushing through whatever needed to be done, that curiosity became personal.
My doctor called what happened severe adrenal “blowout.” Subtle, it was not.
I could no longer manage my way through exhaustion or put recovery somewhere near the bottom of the production schedule. I began taking a much more intentional role in my health—exploring nutrition, spending time as a raw foodist and learning about natural healing modalities.
This was the beginning of what would become one of the central pillars of my work: Food as Medicine.
But at that point, I wasn’t planning a new career. I was trying to feel better and understand what my body needed.
My serious exploration of spiritual development began in 2012.
By 2016, I was training in energy healing and coaching while still producing live events. I didn’t yet know this work would become my career.
Then, in 2017, I survived the Las Vegas mass shooting.
PTSD changed the way I experienced safety, my body and the world around me. It also made it clear that I could no longer return to my former life and pace as though nothing had happened.
What had been a personal path—and a new area of professional training—became my new direction.
I stepped away from the events industry and committed myself fully to coaching, energy healing and spiritual study. That decision became Dream Sculpting Institute—a place where I could bring together the healing tools that helped me rebuild, the questions that had guided me since childhood and the grounded ability to turn possibility into something real.
I wanted to help others not only heal from what had happened, but move beyond survival and begin shaping what comes next.
I didn’t arrive at this work because I mastered life.
I arrived because I needed these tools, experienced what they changed in my own life and chose to train deeply so I could offer them responsibly to others.
HOW I WORK
I’ve never been particularly interested in staying in one lane. It's boring.
I’m fascinated by people—what shapes us, what keeps us stuck and what helps us change.
I’m deeply spiritual, with a strong faith which guides me in all things. I love exploring human behavior, health, creativity and energy as much as I love figuring out how to turn a complicated idea into something that actually works.
My friend Cat calls me an “informer".
She isn’t wrong. Maybe you sense that from everything I'm sharing on this page? I mean...it is the About page!
When something captures my attention, I want to understand it. Fully. I ask questions, follow the threads, and connect the dots. Apparently, keeping the information to myself is not an option. So, I share what I’ve discovered.
This occasionally means spending considerably more time than any reasonable person would investigating why a frequency machine requires seventeen different accessories.
For a long time, I wondered whether my different interests meant I needed to choose one version of myself.
Eventually, I realized they were never as disconnected as they appeared.
They were all part of the same question: What helps us move from where we are into what we truly want?
That curiosity shapes the way I work today. I'll help you see what may be quietly running the show, so you can stop circling the same questions and begin choosing what comes next.
I believe deeply in what’s possible.
I also believe possibility needs a plan.
YOUR STORY
So, what might any of this mean for you?
You may be here because you’re exhausted from holding everything together. Or because life looks fine on paper, but something still feels off. Maybe you’ve done a great deal of healing already—and now you’re wondering what comes next.
Everybody is unique—and so is every body. That’s why I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all healing or predetermined paths. I listen, pay attention and draw from different tools to support what you need now.
What I offer is a grounded space to slow down, honest questions that help you see more clearly and tools that support meaningful change—in your energy, your mindset and the way you move through your life.
Here's what I can help you do:
-
Feel calmer, clearer and more balanced.
-
Understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
-
Strengthen your trust in yourself and what you know.
-
Explore the sense that there may be more waiting for you.
-
Turn insight and intention into meaningful action.
Sometimes that support takes the form of energy healing or activation. Sometimes it’s a conversation, a creative experience or coaching through what comes next.
Different tools.
Same intention: to help you feel better, see more clearly and move forward with more of yourself available.
