About Tanishka

Tanishka is a world-renowned author, speaker and facilitator whose passion is empowering people to transform how they see themselves and the world. A former stand-up comic, she makes esoteric concepts compelling and relevant with her unique blend of insight and humour.

Known as ‘The Moon Woman’ for the daily blog she delivered for 11 years to half a million people, she has a talent for demystifying how the cycles of nature initiate us to mature…ancient wisdom that’s essential for social sustainability.

Her work has been translated into multiple languages. Below are examples of how she transformed her struggles into inspiration to assist others…

• At the age of 12 she was bullied and excluded by peers. This inspired her to train women in 44 countries to create sisterhood circles that welcome girls to their womanhood to heal the ‘mean girl’ culture.

• As a young woman, she suffered from depression and internalised misogyny until one night at the age of 26 she got down on her knees and cried out to the Universe to send her some female role models. Her prayer was answered, resulting in her book, The Inner Goddess Makeover which empowers the 7 feminine archetypes that map the psyche. She also created an online program called the 13 Moons to help women at the time of the lunar cycle when they are most at risk of depression.

• When Tanishka married and became a mother, she struggled to maintain her relationship with an immature man. This resulted in a challenging chapter as a sole parent that included homelessness. So she created programs to initiate men and wrote the book, The Grail which decodes The Holy Grail; the ancient rite of passage that supports men during the time on the seasonal wheel when men are most at risk of illness, injury, depression and suicide.

• After a year and a half in lockdown In Melbourne, Australia, Tanishka visited 10 countries offering fee consciousness-raising events to empower people to respond to our global crisis as alchemists, not activists, promoting a quantum approach to harness ‘people power’. She shares her insights for global social change at festivals and events, as a freelance writer and as a guest on podcasts.

• When Tanishka entered midlife and perimenopause she struggled with ‘the change’ that lasted 12 years. This inspired her next book, Metaphysical Menopause along with retreats for women in midlife & perimenopause retreats to help other women navigate this time of upheaval into one of homecoming.

WHAT MAKES TANISHKA SUCH A UNIQUE THOUGHT LEADER

Tanishka makes esoteric concepts relatable by combining her lived experience, with pop culture references and razor-sharp insights that demystify life’s biggest questions and taboos. Tanishka attributes her enhanced intuition to the ‘kundalini awakening’ she experienced while living off-grid in the mountains for a year at twenty-six.
