About your host,
Tanya Perry – Iranzadi
Tanya, your host and guide, grew up on a dairy farm in the lush Bellingen Valley where a deep connection to nature first took root.
Over the past thirty-five years, she has built a successful corporate career, holding executive international roles in Human Resources and working as a management consultant advising CEO’s and Boards on business transformation.
Her work has focused on designing values-led cultures, leadership programs, and transformative learning experiences across a wide range of organisations.
Tanya’s history & experience
Tanya holds a Master of Labour Law and Relations and a Diploma in Training and Development, grounding her work in both insight and experience. She is a published author of the book The War Women Fight…Within, supporting burnout prevention and recovery in women.
But beneath her professional achievements lies a lifelong personal journey of growth, reflection, and deep inner work — the heart of what Journey Back to You is built upon.
One of Tanya’s guiding mottos has long been:
“For the past — no regrets. For the future — no fear. For the present — the courage of my convictions.”
She’ll be the first to admit: living that way isn’t always easy. Years in the corporate world, paired with life’s inevitable personal challenges, eventually led to recurring burnout. She had witnessed women of all ages in the corporate world going through these same patterns. This led to a turning point, as she sought to understand the dynamics and causes of the burnout cycle.
That turning point brought Tanya and her husband from North Shore Sydney to Forster, to nature, gardens, chickens and to a quieter, more connected way of living.
Now, her passion is clear: Supporting women on their journey of personal transformation by creating a nurturing space where women can pause, heal and feel empowered to reconnect with themselves and find clarity and courage to live in alignment with who they truly are and ultimately break their burnout cycle.
“This retreat is more than time away — it’s transformative. And I can’t wait to walk that journey with you.”
