Tami Jean "TJ"

After surviving verbal abuse and learning she had C-PTSD, Tami Jean connected with a trauma coach. Now in her second marriage, which was quickly declining, and learning she had been a victim of severe verbal abuse by her first husband—the father of her children—Tami knew it was time to take charge of her healing journey. Medications were not the answer, though they were necessary at the time.

​

After spending a couple of years working with her trauma coach, learning about parts work and journaling, and realizing she had slept through most of her life, she began to see signs all around her. Beginning with numerology, Tami learned about Angel numbers and started to understand her true purpose as a light-worker. Her journey with crystals began soon after, and her understanding of their healing power deepened. She then learned about tarot and oracle reading and the power these tools hold in empowering and informing us. She completed Tarot 1 & 2 certification classes and followed up with Holy Fire Reiki 1 & 2 with the same teacher.

​

Through this quick procession of information that was coming to her, Tami clearly understood her purpose was to help women like herself overcome trauma from verbal abuse and find their way to true, unconditional self-love.

​

As a long-term professional nail technician and salon owner, Tami had a plethora of opportunities to hear women’s stories and learn from them. As she learned, she found opportunities to share what she had discovered, beginning her journey as a coach.

​

Throughout the next decade, Tami was presented with many opportunities to learn, including astrology, folk herbalism, personal coaching programs, business-building courses, and eventually writing, as she had always dreamed of. The Houses of Light Stories is a collaborative work that gave her the chance to get her story out to others.

​

Under the business name Mending Hearts Healing, she began selling her handmade healing crystal jewelry, offering tarot readings, and writing a blog, which created opportunities to connect with a new community of women. Five years ago, Tami was called to pull together all of the tools she had learned into one collection and create a program for others just beginning their healing journey. This program and interactive book is called the Heart Activation Toolkit. She is humbled and honored to have published this work and looks forward to reaching many more women.
