Our Team

Tanya Lynne

I’m the founder of Emerald Goddess, a creative sanctuary for women rooted in authenticity, storytelling, and reclamation.

My background spans academic research, creative writing, and years of personal and professional work alongside women navigating transition, grief, and reinvention. After completing advanced doctoral studies, I made the choice to step away from institutions that required disconnection from the body, intuition, and emotional truth.

Emerald Goddess grew from that decision — from the belief that creativity is not a luxury, but a vital language of healing and resistance. Today, I facilitate retreats, writing circles, and embodied creative spaces for women who are ready to reconnect with their voice and live with greater truth and presence.

Leaving what asked me to be smaller.
Leaving what taught me to overlook my own knowing.
Leaving what mistook endurance for belonging.

The ocean became my teacher.
Stillness became my language.
Creativity became my way back.

Emerald Goddess is my offering now — a place for women to rest, unravel, and return to themselves. It’s for those who carry deep stories, quiet courage, and a longing for something more honest than survival.

If you’re here, I believe your becoming has already begun.
