With almost 20 years in healthcare, Tanya believes care should be personal, proactive, and empowering. Licensed as a Nurse Practitioner in Alberta and Ontario, she has a strong background in heart health, internal medicine, and chronic disease prevention. She helps patients uncover the “why” behind their symptoms and create clear, realistic plans to feel better and live stronger. Whether you’re looking to improve energy, balance hormones, or reduce your risk for conditions like diabetes or heart disease, Tanya brings expertise, compassion, and practical strategies to help you thrive. Tanya began her career in cardiology, spending nearly a decade as a Registered Nurse in a Coronary Intensive Care Unit. Working closely with patients in moments of crisis gave her a deep appreciation for both the resilience of the human body and the urgent need for prevention. Later, as a cardiac navigator, she supported patients through the complexities of the healthcare system, sparking her passion for education, advocacy, and empowerment. She began her NP career in a Rapid Access Unit, managing acute and complex medical conditions, before moving into Internal Medicine, where she focused on chronic disease management and palliative care for nearly six years. During this time, she realized that much of what she was treating could be addressed earlier, which fueled her desire to shift from reaction to prevention. Tanya later moved into a private cardiac prevention and risk-reduction clinic, where she worked with patients to manage or prevent high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, weight changes, and stress-related conditions. In addition, she has conducted adult ADHD assessments and supported patients in navigating complex mental health needs, deepening her appreciation for the mind-body connection and the importance of individualized care. Over time, Tanya’s focus on chronic disease prevention, early detection, and lifestyle-based interventions inspired her to pursue further education. She is currently completing certification with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), deepening her knowledge in hormone balance, energy production, metabolism, gut health, and whole-person care. At Flourish Healthcare, Tanya offers an integrative approach to care for patients who want to be proactive about their health. Using advanced lab testing, nutrition and lifestyle support, and evidence- based treatment plans, she helps patients take control of their health and improve their long-term outcomes. Her care philosophy is simple: health is not just the absence of disease; it’s the ability to thrive holistically. Outside of work, Tanya enjoys spending time with loved ones, cooking, gardening, yoga, hiking, traveling, and continuous learning.
