My Story

Hi, I'm Tanisha, and honestly? I never planned to become a thyroid health coach.  

But when you're working at your desk at 3pm on a Tuesday, too exhausted to do anything on your to do list, wondering if this is just your life now, something has to change.  

That was me a few years ago. Despite being on thyroid medication, I was:  

• Constantly exhausted  
• Gaining weight I couldn't explain  
• Struggling through brain fog at work  
• Pushing myself harder because I thought I just needed to "try harder"  

Sound familiar? 

I realized that managing hypothyroidism wasn't just about taking a pill every morning. It was about understanding how my  nutrition, stress levels, sleep, and hormones all worked together (or against each other).  

So I dove deep. I got my Level 6 Diploma in Health Coaching and Nutritional Therapy. I learned about the thyroid-gut  connection, the stress-hormone-thyroid cycle, and why women with our condition burn out faster, especially in demanding  careers.  

And most importantly? I figured out how to actually feel good again.  

That's why I created Optithy. Because you deserve someone who not only has the professional knowledge but who's also  been exactly where you are - frustrated, tired, and ready for real answers.  

My Mission  

I'm here to help you do more than just "manage" your hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's.  

My mission is to empower you to thrive even with a thyroid condition. Through personalized coaching that addresses your nutrition, stress, hormones, and lifestyle, I'll guide you toward:  

• Weight that stabilizes (finally)  
• Energy that lasts all day  
• Sleep that actually restores you  
• Mental clarity that helps you show up as your best self  
• Confidence in your body again Because you deserve to feel amazing, not just "okay."  

Why Optithy is Different  

This isn't cookie-cutter wellness coaching.  

• Lived Experience + Professional Expertise I'm not just certified, I live with hypothyroidism too. I understand the  unique challenges you face, especially if you're in a high-stress role where burnout hits differently.  
• Personalized to YOU Your body, your life, your goals. We'll create a plan that works for your specific needs, not some  generic protocol. 
• Holistic, Not Restrictive Forget extreme diets and impossible rules. I believe in a sustainable, nourishing approach that  supports your thyroid without making you miserable.   
• Built for High-Achievers If you're juggling a demanding career, family, and trying to take care of your health - I get it.  My approach is designed for women who need results without spending hours meal prepping or living in the gym.  
• A Real Support System This isn't just weekly sessions and goodbye. You'll have ongoing messaging support and a coach who genuinely cares about your progress.  

What We'll Work On Together  

When you work with me, we address the complete picture:  

• Nutrition that Supports Your Thyroid Not just "avoid gluten", real, practical nutrition strategies that optimize thyroid function, support gut health, and stabilize your energy.  
• Stress Management for Real Life Because pushing through isn't working. Learn how to manage stress in a way that  protects your thyroid and prevents burnout.  
• Hormone Balance Your thyroid doesn't work in isolation. We'll address your complete hormonal picture, including  cycle regulation and liver support.   
• Sleep & Recovery Quality sleep isn't a luxury—it's essential for thyroid health. We'll optimize your sleep so you  actually wake up feeling refreshed.    
• Movement that Helps, Not Harms Exercise that supports your thyroid rather than depleting your already limited  energy reserves.
