About the author
Tanya Valentin
5 books6 followersTanya Valentin is a neuro-affirming family coach, writer, and the founder of From Burnout to Balance, a global community supporting parents of neurodivergent children and teens in burnout.
Her work sits at the intersection of nervous system science, low-demand parenting, and deep, compassionate reflection. She supports parents to move away from pressure, urgency, and self-blame and toward safety, connection, and trust, both within their families and within themselves.
Tanya’s approach is shaped not only by her professional background in education and facilitation but by her lived experience of parenting through profound burnout, grief, and uncertainty.
It was in these seasons that she began to question the cultural stories many of us have inherited about parenting, productivity, and worth, and to gently reimagine what care can look like when we centre our humanity.
She is the author of Tiny Anchors: Small Moments of Care for Parents in Burnout, and the creator of the Tiny Anchors framework, small, steady moments of support designed to meet parents where they are, especially in the long, invisible middle of burnout recovery. Her work has reached thousands of families around the world through her writing, podcasting, workshops, and community spaces, such as her global community, From Burnout to Balance.
At the heart of everything she creates is a simple belief: That parenting was never meant to be carried alone and that healing happens, slowly and safely, in spaces where we are truly held.
Tanya lives in New Zealand with her family, where she continues to write, reflect, and walk alongside parents navigating the complexities of neurodivergent family life.
