About Tiga-Rose

Hello! I'm Tiga-Rose Nercessian (she/her)

Raised by posh hippies, as I child I was endlessly fascinated by almost everything, especially people and why they did the things they do. I was cheerful, introspective, and relentlessly curious (not much has changed!).

Now snuggled into my 40's, I am proud to say I’m a mixed race, queer, kinky, non-monogamous, multi-neurodivergent person (AuDHD with PDA, synaesthesia, and hyperphantasia).

I lead an introverted, quietly subversive life. I’m an ‘and’ person more than an ‘or’ person. I an pro-science and pro-spirituality. I consume science like most people enjoy art, I still go raving, and my happy place is my garden. 

I’m British and live in my dream home in a rural French village, with my earnest, adoring rescue dog, Laniakea, and Entropy, my heterochromatic, Angora cat.

This is the life terrain I have navigated to find my own path to walk, and clearings to rest in. These aspects of who I am form and inform me and my practice. 

My Story: The Long Way Home

Throughout my 20s and 30s, I lived with the persistent, quiet ache of feeling fundamentally lost. I spent those years slowly, and often painfully, trying to put words to feelings that didn't seem to have a place in the world around me.

In my intimate relationships, I knew I wanted something different and unconventional, but I didn't know what to call it, let alone how to ask for it.

For a long time, no matter how hard I tried to fit into the standard boxes of loving and relating, I remained an outsider. Those years were a million trial-and-error experiments in the laboratory of human intimacy.

I eventually realised that I wasn’t "broken" - I was simply trying to follow maps that weren’t drawn for a heart, or mind, like mine. The path I needed didn’t exist yet; I had to forge it myself.

I don’t just offer a way out of the woods; I offer the tools and the companionship to help you forge a unique path that finally feels like home.
