Meet Tamela: Your guide to self-love and inner peace
Discover the woman behind The Holistic Weaver Tamela and understand the journey that shaped her mission to empower women to rediscover their authentic selves.
My journey: From recovery to purpose
Tamela's work is deeply rooted in lived experience. She spent 18 years in addiction and the last 10 years in recovery — a journey that completely transformed how she related to herself, her emotions and life. Recovery didn’t just change her habits; it rebuilt her identity and taught her how to truly come back to herself.
That lived experience is the foundation of her work as a Somatic Mind-Body Coach, Kundalini yoga instructor, author, and women’s advocate. She is the creator of the short film, It’s My Recovery. Author of, Your Self Love Romance Starts Her with You and The Good Girl Unlearning - Let Her Rest is where she shares her healing journey and the truth of what it means to rebuild a life from the inside out.
Today, she helps women who feel stuck in self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, and inconsistency learn how to build self-trust, emotional confidence, and real self-love habits that last. Her mission is simple: To help women stop abandoning themselves and start living in alignment with who they truly are.
Beyond the work: My heartfelt passions
Beyond my work, I am deeply passionate about supporting women in remembering who they are beneath the conditioning, expectations, and self-doubt. I care about growth in its most honest form — the kind that asks you to be real with yourself, to heal what’s been avoided, and to choose yourself consistently, even in small ways.
Self-love is at the center of everything I do, not as a concept, but as a daily practice of self-trust, emotional awareness, and alignment. I’m also passionate about creating spaces where women feel safe to be seen, to release what they’ve carried, and to rebuild a relationship with themselves that feels grounded, loving, and sustainable.
Transforming lives: The change I inspire
I hope to help women create a deeper connection with themselves so they can feel more emotionally grounded, self-aware, and aligned in their daily lives. My intention is for them to experience more fulfillment—not just in their goals and dreams, but in how they show up for themselves and their relationships.
When women begin to trust themselves again, they start building lives that feel more intentional, balanced, and meaningful. They communicate better, set healthier boundaries, reconnect with their families in a more present way, and move forward with their dreams from a place of clarity instead of self-doubt.
The change is internal first—and then it naturally transforms how they live, love, and lead their lives.
