ABOUT MANA MOM
Energy, science, and heart—woven together.
Mana Mom was created to provide a safe, supportive space for people seeking relief from stress, anxiety, trauma, and life’s transitions. Our mission is to blend evidence‑aware energy practices with compassion, so you can feel lighter, calmer, and more resilient.
Our Story
The name Mana Mom comes from two roots:
Mana – a word found across cultures, meaning life force or energy.
Mom – the nurturing presence that provides safety, comfort, and care.
Together, Mana Mom means Mother of Energy a safe space where healing and guidance flow.
Our vision is to make holistic, gentle care accessible for everyday people—whether you’re navigating illness, burnout, or simply curious about energy work. We serve clients in the Des Moines, Iowa area, and virtually around the world.

My STORY
Hi, I’m Tamara Tan—founder of Mana Mom. My healing journey began more than two decades ago. Growing up in Croatia during the war gave me deep insight into human emotions, resilience, and the importance of safe spaces for healing.
Since 2005, I’ve begun serving clients professionally—supporting people through life’s most challenging transitions.
My Approach
I blend multiple approaches to meet each person’s unique needs. Every story shapes the healing journey, so I take time to listen deeply.
Sometimes that means Reiki for calm, EFT to release beliefs, or a mix of practices. I honor your body’s pace and personal story.
My focus is creating safe, supportive spaces where trust can grow and healing unfolds naturally.
