Where It All Began
Tanya’s childhood unfolded in the heart of the tropics, on a family farm near Cairns surrounded by mango orchards, lychees, and soursop trees. These early experiences instilled in her a deep respect for nature, patience, and resilience.
Her adventures—from rainforest waterholes to cultural experiences with Kuku Yalanji artist Lorna Shuan—shaped her awareness of the connection between land, culture, and healing. Even simple joys, like homemade beauty rituals, sparked a fascination with nature’s power to nourish and transform.
