Meet Tia Tomashek
“The soft, quiet voice with the feeling of ease and love is your inner knowing. Your guide. Your truth.”
So honored to introduce Tia. She is the one creating our custom guided meditations releasing soon, and also makes delicious functional recipes for us to share. She is going to be involved with Deeper a lot, and I know you will be as inspired by her as I am.
Tell us a little about yourself and how you got into the space of being a holistic practitioner and meditation teacher?
My name is Tia and I am a holistic practitioner and meditation teacher. I currently reside in Arizona, however I grew up in Wisconsin surrounded by so much lush nature, which I feel plays a huge part in how I feel so deeply connected to it. I got into the holistic and meditation space from my own darkness, dealing with depression and intense anxiety most of my life. I tried the more “mainstream” ways of healing and it didn’t work for me, as my goal wasn’t to numb these feelings, but get to the root cause of them. The holistic approach takes in consideration of all the aspects of life when solving the issue at hand, seeing how they could be interconnected from the root cause. I feel once you find the root(s), many of the problems naturally heal themselves. Meditation creates the awareness, the stillness, and the space you need to make the longterm changes happen. Without the awareness of your pattern, you will keep running into the same situations over and over, expecting a different outcome. My first time I started meditating I joined someone’s 21 day meditation journey and just kept meditating after that, it has now been almost 5 years of meditating ritually. It’s opened my heart, mind, and soul in so many ways and has shifted my experiences in life for the better — I desire to help others feel the same.
What are some of the things you do for yourself that light you up?
Many things! However, no matter how I am feeling I know that if I cook something healthy, light some candles, and listen to some music I will feel at peace. I also know that creating ignites my soul, and nature walks and yoga will always release, transform, and bring in light energy.
What are the rituals you like to incorporate into your self-care routines? Also is there one Bätn-ē product you resonate with the most?
Anything to slow down and become more present. A cleansing shower, oils massaged onto the skin, meditation, a deep yin yoga stretch, and a warm herbal tea. The Bätn-ē product that I resonate most with is Immortelle. Immortelle feels extra special after a long day. A beautiful reminder to live with an open heart, be intentional, and rest deeply. Rest is much overlooked.
If you could give your younger self any piece of advice, what would it be?
To do the inner work and meditate daily. Get to know yourself, love yourself fully, slow down, and eat real foods from the earth. Follow what opens your heart because what your intuition is telling you is true — trust it and don’t let fear be in the drivers seat. Your path will be uniquely yours!
I’ve always been very intuitive and can also feel what other people are experiencing without words, I wish I built more self trust and validation around this gift sooner in life.
We are so excited to launch the guided meditations you created for Bätn-ē, can you dig deeper into your creative process?
I am beyond excited and grateful to share these meditations! My intention is that they bring more inner peace and healing. So much of what happens on the surface of our bodies, reflects the season of life we are moving through. When I created these meditations the words intuitively moved through me, as I was encapsulated by the sensory experience of each oil. I usually see visualizations play out, and go into a flow state of mind. I write down whatever comes through, and connect everything with nature, as I am deeply inspired by all that it teaches and shows us. The power deep belly breathing, visualization, and being in touch with oneself can move mountains.
What’s your sun, moon, and rising?
Sun in scorpio, moon in gemini, and virgo rising!
