Why the Dandelion?
The humble dandelion is more than just my business name —it’s a powerful symbol of the journey we take in life.
Dandelions are known for thriving in tough conditions. They grow through cracks in the pavement and bloom in places many other plants can’t—just like we can grow and rise through life’s challenges. Their strength lies in their ability to adapt, endure, and continue reaching for the light.
These are qualities I often see in women, and often they are unable to recognise themselves.
The dandelion also represents transformation and growth. As it shifts from a bright yellow flower to a puffball of seeds, it reminds us that change, though sometimes messy or uncertain, is part of a natural and beautiful process. When the wind blows, those seeds scatter—and from that moment of letting go, something new begins.
Dandelion Growth Space
At Dandelion Growth Space is about supporting women who are navigating the deep, often complex terrain of midlife—a time of transition, awakening, and powerful transformation. Essentially, walking alongside women who are coming back to themselves and aligning with their truth.
Dandelion Growth Space is everything I love about working with people, with my own personal and professional expreience thrown in.
I am a coach and workshop facilitator who works from both a therapeutic and spiritual lens, Dandelion Growth Space is a place where midlife is seen not as a crisis, but as a calling—an invitation to shed old layers, reconnect with your inner truth, and step into the most authentic version of yourself.
Much like the dandelion—resilient, rooted, and able to thrive in unexpected places—women in midlife carry untapped wisdom and strength, even as they face shifting identities, changing roles, and emotional crossroads. This space was created to honour that journey.
I offer coaching, workshops, and holistic support tailored to the unique needs of women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. Our approach blends Identity exploration and alignment with intuitive guidance, helping you to heal old patterns, rediscover your truth, and create a life aligned with your values, purpose, and soul.
This is a space for self-discovery, spiritual growth, and deep personal renewal.
“Welcome to Dandelion Growth Space—where midlife is honoured as a sacred season of rediscovery, healing, and transformation.”
About Tamara
Identity Coach
I’m Tamara, the founder of Dandelion Growth Space—a space created to support women navigating the deep, transformative journey of midlife with compassion, clarity, and purpose.
I am someone who loves adventure, learning new things, exploring, hiking, nature, travel, trying new foods, and photography.
However, my life has not always been about fun and adventure. I, like many women, have been on this roller coaster called life and have had my own journey with anxiety, depression, burnout, poor body image, low self-esteem, negative self-talk and a plethora of unhealthy ways of coping with feelings.
I have a bucket list I am slowly working through, inspired by my friend Margot, who passed away from cancer last year. I was planning an adventurous trip and she made a comment that struck me to the core - “I will never be well enough to do everything on my bucket list”. I immediately wrote a bucket list and started ticking things off. Life is short and we do not want to spend it living a life that we have settled for and doesn’t make our inner light shine.
I have challenged myself by completing the Everest Base Camp trek, which was the hardest thing i have ever done, but it taught me that we can do anything if we put our minds to it. Since then, I have been on other adventures, most recently visiting Antarctica and spending my 50th birthday at Machu Picchu. It is my dream to bring other women on my adventures and feed their souls with the beautiful sights of the world, just like travel has done for me. Watch this space!
I have a loving and supportive husband that supports my crazy adventures and ideas, and at times finds himself dragged along. I am the mum of 2 adult sons that have grown into amazing young men, considering we had out kids young and had no idea what we were doing.
As for my professional career, I hold a Bachelor of Psychological Science and have worked as a counsellor in both government and non-government organisations, supporting clients through a wide range of life challenges. With a strong foundation in human behaviour and emotional wellbeing, my approach blends psychological insight with a spiritual lens, recognising that we are both human and spiritual beings seeking connection, healing, and growth.
I work from a person-centred, trauma-informed perspective, offering a grounded, empathetic space where your story is honoured. My work is not only informed by my education and professional background but also by my own lived experience. I’ve faced many of the same challenges my clients bring into the room, which allows me to meet you with genuine understanding and compassion.
Outside of my work, I’m inspired by photography, travel, hiking, exploring new places, and being in nature. I love learning, pushing my edges, and stepping outside my comfort zone—because that’s where growth truly happens.
After years of personal inner work, discovering my own true identity and working on aligning with my true self, I’m finally in a place where I love my life, and my greatest joy is helping other women get to that place too. You don’t have to walk this path alone. I’m here to walk beside you as you rediscover your strength, reconnect with your spirit, and begin to truly thrive.
I am excited to take this journey with you!
