MEET YOUR GUIDE
TAMI HERBST
Metamorphosis Mentor • Radical Self-Advocate • Founder of SolFlo Life
Tami created RETURN to LIFE from her lived experience with breast cancer and the decade-long journey of restoration, self-discovery, and personal transformation that followed.
Her path led her into deeper relationships with nature, sound, nourishment, nervous-system care, creativity, spirituality, self-advocacy, and the everyday practices that help us reconnect with ourselves and feel fully alive.
Today, she brings those elements together at SolFlo Life, her immersive wellness and retreat space in Chicago.
Tami is not here to tell you how your journey should look. She is here to walk beside you, share what she has learned, help you ask meaningful questions, and support you in discovering what RETURN to LIFE means for you.
HEALING, DEFINED DIFFERENTLY
Here, healing means tending to the whole person. It means reconnecting with yourself, strengthening your capacity to make informed choices, creating supportive daily rhythms, and allowing truth, rest, beauty, community, creativity, and joy to remain part of your life.
RETURN to LIFE is an educational, restorative, and complementary experience.
