my evolving resume
I’m Tash Straker. My route into healing work has wound through sustainable food systems, chronic health disruption, yoga, silence, clay and the long humbling education of learning that a body cannot be bullied into trust.
I’m based in Nairobi and work online too. I’m currently completing advanced clinical training in Ayurvedic medicine having just finished my first year of theory.
