Meet Dr Tanya Hartz R.Ac, TCMD, ADS
The Fire Within takes men and women alike on a journey of Self-discovery: "Who am I, Why am I here, and What is my Inner Calling?" They help client's rediscover and connect with the deepest parts of themselves in a unique and powerful way. Client's will heal themselves with guidance and become empowered from the Inner strength they've achieved to the path of enlightenment and Self-fulfillment.
"My favorite part of owning a business is watching the art of transformation. Imagine a flower growing; its growth is slow but steady. Nature challenges its growth - hail pours down, winds prevail and branches may break. All the while the flower keeps growing onward and upward remaining rooted. One day Nature surprises, and the flower is in full bloom. Beauty becomes noticed - This is how I "see" client's growth. Their family and friends will notice how great they feel every day. They will no longer worry about the storms in their lives or what they cannot control. This presence of deep healing is profound."
~ Love, Tanya

Trees
"A special part of your spirit you have given me
has been entwined with mine.
The threads of this are woven into a gentle togetherness,
While separately we stand as individuals
As individual trees deeply rooted into their own plot of this earth
While in the sky our branches join and caress
Creating a beautiful interplay
of light and shadows
against the sunrises and sunsets
and all the skies of our lives."
~Judith Todd McNichol
