Welcome to Matters Of My Mind!
Hey there, I’m Tanya Vliss, and I’m the creator behind this little corner of the internet. Why did I start Matters Of My Mind?
Well, it all began with a journey that many of you might relate to. A journey filled with frustration, despair, and countless trips to traditional mental health services.
For years, my family and I were caught in the maze of the conventional approach to mental health. We hit rock bottom, and we hit it hard. But as they say, sometimes you have to hit the bottom before you can bounce back up.
That’s exactly what happened to me. In the process, I stumbled upon a much better approach to health and wellness, one that goes beyond the narrow confines of medical treatment and embraces the mind-body-spirit connection.
Matters Of My Mind is my way of paying it forward and helping you avoid the detours and dead ends I faced. I want to empower you, just like I empowered myself, with the information, tools, and support to conquer your health and wellness challenges.

So, what’s Matters Of My Mind all about?
Let’s break it down.
