About Tanis Day, PhD

Hi! I'm Tanis.

I've been an energy healer and spiritual teacher for almost 30 years in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. I learned energy awareness and esoteric skills at a variety of schools in the 1990s. In 2000 I completed a four year program to become a Certified Advanced Energy Healer (CAEH). I absolutely love my work! .

Before I became a healer, I was a feminist professor of economics, go figure! In the 80s I helped develop the economics of gender, worked at the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women, and was best known for pioneering research measuring the costs of violence against women and children.

My grounding in education, with a PhD in economics and 20 years of university teaching prepared me to teach esoteric material in a practical, accessible way. My work is grounded, light-hearted and straightforward.

At age 38, I went through a major life transition and left my second bad marriage. I was a mess, carrying wounds from childhood and the residue of many bad decisions. I needed to walk my own path and find my own way. So I set out as a single mom to become who I am today. It has been a fascinating journey of healing, transformation and enlightenment, and I wouldn't change a thing!

Regarding perception of energies, people often ask how I 'see' what I 'see'. I have learned to perceive energy through both vision and sensing with my hands. Because the energies are there, it is possible to perceive them. But the energies are complex so it takes time to become accurate in deciphering them.

Sensing is both a natural talent and a learned skill. Like learning to play a musical instrument, anyone can learn the basics, but some people have natural talent as well. And the more any person practices, the better they get. It's the same with perceiving energy. There are skills I have learned, developed and taught, but I also have been blessed with a natural talent. Then, through using these skills and talents daily for over 25 years, I have developed a keen intuition and accuracy. Sometimes it seems uncanny, but it's really just the way energy and consciousness work! (If you would like to know more about how I became a healer, I've written a story called The Turning Point. You can find it and other true stories from my learning journey on the Writings page.)

These days I am semi-retired and have downsized to a simple life. All my kids are happy, successful adults living around the world, and I have six beloved grand-children. I am a friendly nature girl, camper, dog lover, knitter, writer, and a bit of a vagabond. I love nothing better than a good road trip.

About the School of Energy Enlightenment

Some students and me from through the years!

From early on in my learning of energy and esoteric knowledge, I knew I wanted to teach the material. I knew how valuable the information was and how much people needed to hear it, and I felt called to share it. I began in 1998 with a monthly workshop series and from there developed a wide variety of courses, workshops and seminars that I taught throughout Canada. There were weekly groups, monthly series, and week-long intensives. But each course was a stand-alone topic, which meant I repeated the basics in every course and couldn't get into advanced material except with my weekly groups. In 2010 I decided I was ready to combine everything I knew into one full program and the School of Energy Enlightenment was conceived.

I launched in the fall of 2010 and taught continuously until the covid pandemic lockdown.

The school program included 288 hours of in-class time over two years, followed by an additional 144 hours of advanced material over another two years for those who wanted more. The entire body of knowledge is extensive. You can find it here.

In early 2020, as a result of the covid pandemic, I had to shut my doors to in-person teaching. As life came back on-stream afterwards, I found I was no longer called to teach groups, so I have become an on-line teacher only. However, one-on-one learning is rich and valuable, so I invite you to read the Body of Knowledge and contact me for one-on-one teaching if there are topics you would like to learn. I also offer healing sessions by zoom in which I make use of all I know.

I hope you can enjoy learning and benefiting from this wonderful material too!
