Tanya Paluso’s journey to become a wellness expert began when she won the Thomson Corporation Community Champion Award in 2006, and realized she wanted to start a charity to bring yoga into intercity schools.  She began studying with internationally renowned holistic health practitioners at Institute for Integrative Nutrition that year. She began to use techniques from school and yoga to heal traumatic leg and back injuries as well as digestive issues. Tanya has been a full-time health counselor since 2007 coaching hundreds of people and giving corporate workshops around the country. Tanya is a columnist for Rancho Magazine and has written for countless other publications.  She founded the bicoastal non-profit Play 4 Life Inc to educate hundreds of children on the importance of nutrition and exercise. Tanya has combined her business savvy skills with holistic health healing to launch the company Women 4 Wellness in January 2009, which hosts seminars to empower women around the world to lead healthy, purposeful and prosperous lives.
