The Pergola Method™ is Dr. Tanya’s very own combination of modern science coupled with Maasai and Ayurvedic ancient wisdom traditions. These ancient wisdom systems hold the belief that wellbeing is rooted in our understanding of our own mind and body as a whole. Good health is much more than just being free of sickness, it results from our enhanced awareness of the dynamic interplay between the natural environment, society, our body, mind and spirit, and the choices we make to live our life.
About The Pergola Method™
In recent years, a large amount of information on diet, exercise and medications has been available to the public. However, it is not easy to know what is good advice - and what is right for you - given that we are all different. The Pergola Method™ guides you towards understanding your specific needs and how to access the best resources for you.
The surname Pergola means a garden structure that gives climbing plants a structure, and provides support during times of growth and transformation. The elements of The Pergola Method™ are described below. The elements can be taken in modules and are intended to meet clients where they need the most guidance at the present time. The elements can be taken individually, in a group setting, and/or part of a retreat program. All of the elements in The Pergola Method™ can be adapted for a workplace setting.

Meditation Mentoring
Do you feel stressed? Scattered? Exhausted? Even depressed?
Meditation is a powerful tool that can help you cultivate mindfulness, reduce stress and anxiety, increase focus and concentration, and improve your overall well-being.
Learning to meditate properly is important. Starting off on the right foot can ensure that you commit to a regular practice that you will have for life.
Dr. Tanya is an experienced meditator for over 15 years and is certified by Dr. Deepak Chopra to teach Primordial Sound Meditation (PSM) and to be a mentor for those interested in developing a regular meditation practice. She helps you easily incorporate the practice of meditation into your life, in a way that works for your schedule and circumstances.
Contact Dr. Tanya to schedule your private training in-person or online.
Initiations - Personal Vision Quest
Are you in need of a complete upgrade to your operating system? Do you sense that you can be enjoying your life a lot more than you currently are? Dr. Tanya guides you on a powerful personal journey that is a modernized version of an initiation process or vision quest. Traditionally engaged in by indigenous peoples in many cultures, these vitally important rites of passage have largely disappeared from contemporary life.
This bespoke program is an intensive, long-term engagement that includes specific modules customized with prescriptions for potent rituals, ceremonies, rites of passage, storytelling, meditations, and guidance on daily activities.

“I find most useful the way that Dr. Tanya not only talks through my concerns with me but also gives me insights in how to deal with these issues in the future. I have learned and implemented various methods to deal with recurring concerns on my own to prevent them in the future.” - A. Sanchez, 21 yrs
“The coaching work I did with her gave me a whole new perspective on how I want to move forward in the future. The work on the relationship with myself and with others makes me choose myself first now and I will be eternally grateful for that.” - E. Petroni
“For sure, they were also ‘feel good’ sessions BUT I am left with a ‘big picture’ understanding of my issues and, even more importantly, how to address them. I am in a place to make necessary decisions/adjustments. I already see changes! This is a framework I will use going forward.” - L. Whitmyre, ‘third act of life’
The Healing Safari in Tanzania
