Hello
I’m Tanya Bonner, founder of MindsetShift Coaching, and my journey into this work is deeply personal.
I’ve lived through seasons of heartbreak, grief, and moments where I lost sight of my worth.
Those challenges didn’t just test me — they reshaped me. In learning how to rebuild from the inside out, I discovered the power of mindset shifts: the moments when changing how you see yourself changes everything.
With over 20 years of coaching, community work, and trauma-informed practice, I’ve supported women, families, and communities through some of life’s toughest transitions.
Combining that experience with my own transformation, I created the EMPOWER Framework to guide women in recognising when change is needed and why it matters.
Today, I help women move from feeling stuck and unseen to standing in their strength with clarity, confidence, and unshakable self-worth because your story isn’t over, and your next chapter can be your most powerful yet.

The Heart of My Work
Becoming a mother at 22 shaped me in ways nothing else could. Raising four children has been one of my greatest teachers expanding my patience, resilience, capacity, and love.
Motherhood taught me how to lead with presence, compassion, and strength. I love being a mother; it is the most fulfilling role I have ever held.
It’s also the foundation of my values showing my children what it means to rise, rebuild, and choose yourself with courage. Everything I teach, I live first. They are my why.
My children are not the reason
l lost myself.

They are the reason l found
who l was meant to become...
