Hi! I am Teacher Tamara. I am a mother, wife, development coach, artist, life-long-student and educator! I have a BA in Psychology and Spanish with a myriad of post graduate classes in education. I have been in the field of education for over 10 years.
Helping others is my greatest God given talent and also my passion. As a teacher and student of life, I am in love with the process of learning. Everyday we have an option to learn something new thus having the ability to change our lives and the lives of those around us. That, to me, is a blessing! In my coaching sessions, workshops and presentations I develop new techniques to help break down difficult concepts and make them more easily applied to daily living.
As a certified personal development/life coach and educator, my desire is to reach out to world wide community and make the greatest impact I can in my small lifetime. Each one, reach one, teach one and learning is a lifetime commitment are two sayings that help to keep me focused on what I feel Allah has chosen me to do.
Life coaching gives me the greatest joy by helping others succeed in attaining their goals and dreams. To me supporting sisterhood is supporting success. My 1-1 personal sessions are only available for women due to an intimate relationship that develops between a coach and client. However, I do conduct mixed gender seminars and workshops upon request.
Email me at sistershinelifecoaching@gmail.com for more information on 1-1 personal development coaching, teaching, workshops, seminars and inspirational or motivational speaking requests. Make the first step to taking yourself or your organization to the next level!
Check back VERY SOON for updates on my new coaching website!
3/4/o9 My website has been launched!! Please visit at www.sistershinelifecoaching.com! Don’t forget to sign the guestbook!
Shining Out!
Commit to a Lifetime of Learning!

salaam’alaykum, as much as the discoverulife certification is amazing, its so expensive for those unable to afford it,
Wa laykum Salam Sis. Sister
,
I agree the certification at discoverulife is AMAZING! As far as coaching certification pricing, when I investigated other companies and compared pricing discoverulife was on the lower end of the spectrum.
As an option to consider, I offer individualized 1-on-1 personal coaching sessions that may be more affordable to you at this time.
For more information email me directly at teachertamara4life@yahoo.com and we can further discuss
InshaAllah we can find a happy medium to meet all of your needs!
Jazak Allahu khair for asking this question. May Allah give you what you need and want. Amin

WOW Tamara! You have the same name as my ministry, Sister Shine!!! My Jesus inspired me with that name. Your Allah must have inspired you with the same name. I love sunflowers too!!
How ironic!!
hey tamara, just out of curiousity, how did you come up with the name Sister Shine? I have been using that name for about 4 years now. I am not trying to prejudge and it seems that you are a woman of God so I don’t want to accuse you of anything. The concept Sister Shine means a lot to me and that is why I am asking. If God (Allah) truly inspired you with the same name then I respect that but if not then I believe you should be honest with God, yourself, and your clients. I hope that I am not offending you in anyway. I think as a mother and woman of God you should understand my concern. Seems like you have a heart to help others and I commend you for that. Looking forward to hearing your response.
Hi Sis Shine,
Thanks for popping by. Responding in short, I love sunflowers and butterflies and all things beautifully and masterfully created by Our Creator.
Creativity in all sort is an inspiration from Him and it is wonderful!
Thank You for giving me the benefit of the doubt I fully understand how it feels to think someone has taken what you feel is yours. But that is not that case here sis.
In the future if you want to have a more direct and intimate communication with me please contact me at sistershinelifecoaching@gmail.com or teachertamara4life@yahoo.com .

Ya Teacher Tamara ~ I’m SO diggin the new look! I love how the dark background frames your writings like pieces of art, and how the other colors pop too. It’s an excellent choice from the artist in you to us visually-oriented folk.
Here’s to Teacher Tamara: Teaching the Art of Success, Coaching Living by Design
Jazak Allahu Khair HibahMac! I like the analogy to art I never really looked at it like that but I felt a new look was in order. I’m glad you like it.
“Teacher Tamara: Teaching the Art of Success, Coaching Living by Design” I love it!
