I’ve known the team here at Mindful Times/ We offer Wellness for just shy of 9 months. As the team’s senior journalist, it’s my job to find people to interview, and write stories you as viewers want to read. My role, is to see people, hear people, and tell the stories of those people, so why shouldn’t that extend to the people I work with?
Let me tell you about one of the CCO’s (that stands for Chief Communications Officer if you didn’t know) at We Offer Wellness:
There’s a drum roll in my head, so if you could imagine one in your head too- that would be great.
It’s Tash!
Buckle up, she’s a proper ‘kentish’ girlboss!
So, what can I tell you about Kent’s very own Natasha Tomlin?
Well, Tash is a 33-year-old bubbly, energetic and creative part of the team at We Offer Wellness. Not only is she a devoted partner, mentor, collaborator, and mother- she also effortlessly weaves together creativity, wellness, and lived experience in as bid to support others.
Tash has previously worked very closely with women who have lived with ‘Hypothalamic Amenorrhea’- which, defined by ‘Mayo Clinic Proceedings’ is: the cessation of the menstrual cycle in the absence of anatomic pathology due to the inadequate stimulation or suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis. In layman’s terms, this essentially means that someone stops having their period. Not because of a physical problem per se, but because the brain puts on the hormones that start the cycle on strike.
It usually occurs when the body is under extreme stress, not eating enough, or exercising too much. But other things can bring it on as well- sudden changes in lifestyle or emotional turmoil, can also trigger the brain to say no to the flo- if you will…
Having opened up to me about her own journey with the struggle of infertility, Tash told me that she felt compelled to use her experience in a proactive way, which subsequently led to her finding her calling as a ‘period recovery coach’. Though she no longer actively works in this field, Tash has expressed the importance that women, and people with a uterus, can still benefit from her heart's work. So- she chose to keep her Instagram page up: Whole.Heartedly.Tash.
It’s fair to say I have spent the most 1-1 time working alongside Tash. One thing I’ve picked up from my time spent chatting with her over the course of the year, is that she is a devoted- and extremely proud mother. Perhaps made stronger by her journey with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea. Where she can, she tries to blend motherhood with her job as a Chief Communications Officer. She revealed to me that one of her best ‘hacks’-if you will, is to practice breathwork with her toddler- “breathe in the flowers… and blow out the candle”. We both agree that this should be practiced in schools!
Alongside the many projects and side quests she juggles, Tash also contributes within a school setting, hosts a podcast, and is a qualified breathwork and health coach- further extending her reach. Her work is multifaceted, touching on holistic education, personal development and collective wellbeing, qualities that make her an excellent ‘Manifestor in Human Design’.
You may know Tash from her podcast: ‘Seeking Wellness With Tash’. Here, she covers a multitude of topics, and hosts guests from around the globe, focusing on wellness, spirituality, and ‘practical ways to feel better’.
From aura to ADHD, Seeking Wellness With Tash covers it all. Tash shared with me that her favourite guests to have on her show are the ones with a high energetic field, people that share her passion and curiosity with the world. Is that you? She may want you on her podcast…
Yet, at the heart of it all, Tash remains simply human: grounded, approachable, and very much like the rest of us.
It is this blend of professional expertise and genuine humanity that makes her work so impactful, and her energy so contagious.
