Hello loves,
I’m Tamsin, an embodiment educator, womb healing practitioner, Feminine mystic, activist and founder of Zami Healing.
​
How was Zami Healing birthed?
I want to start by making it known that I feel so deeply passionate about liberating all from patriarchal systems and being in service to women, queers and those from the global majority. This truly is my life's work and the foundation to all that I offer.
On a personal level as a queer woman of colour, with a lived experience of patriarchal violence, I have seen, felt, and experienced firsthand the way this system is failing us. This lived experience has lit a fire in me for as long as I can remember. Prior to creating Zami Healing, I got myself a Law degree with the aim of working in social justice and human rights, which lead to working within the violence against women and girls sector. From this, I have further witnessed how many women and LGBTQ+ people in our communities are being exploited, abused, and forgotten. I truly know how vital this work is.
​
This work has given me a deep understanding of trauma and honestly shaped my life in many ways. It has only spurred me on to do and be more for those that are in need. However, working in this way I found myself at a loss, my heart yearned for more than what I was able to offer. Firefighting every day, up against the beast that is capitalism, sticking plasters over deep wounds. We cannot heal from these deep-rooted, genuine, patriarchal pains within a patriarchal cage. By patriarchal cage, I’m referring to services that are stretched above capacity, completing tick-box referrals, and unable to provide the much-needed support that women & LGBTQ+ people deserve. This system is not only failing those in need of support but also draining the life out of and crushing the spirits of the (incredible) overworked support workers. The services in place are severely underfunded, drowning in bureaucracy, bursting at the seams and therefore lacking what we are all in need of right now; soul.
So these last few years I opened myself up to a whole new world, completing further training in body-based healing modalities in order to provide the work that I do now. I’ve studied (& continue to) movement and energetic practices, the nervous system, the womb space, and the healing capacity of Mother Nature. This study has been a truly embodied one, meaning I have experienced all that I now offer; I know what this journey takes deep in my bones.
I am here now to provide care and support to women and people affected by the patriarchy in a more:
-
heart & womb centred
-
slow
-
embodied
-
Soulful
-
Rooted
-
Earthly
-
Feminine way
This is now what lights me up; bringing this soul-led, Feminine work to people and into spaces that I know need it the most. I do this through my 1-1 offerings, workshops and bespoke training packages providing support not only to those affected by the patriarchy but to those who are also actively trying to dismantle it. I'm so happy you are here joining me on this journey.

With so much love,
