Author, Poet and Blogger Tamara Thompson

Tamara Thompson grew up in Mississauga, ON.  She is a published children's author and poet, with books written for families about mental health, healing and recovery. Her books are seen as ground-breaking by many. With titles that include Before You Were Born, Happy Birthday Jack, Busy With Bee and Poems of a Codependent. She speaks at schools, hospitals and libraries giving a heartfelt account of her own journey through healing and creativity.   She successfully developed i. Blog The Your Business, formerly called The Healthy Way in 2010 which is seen around the world with a vast number of readers. Her marketing speciality is in her story-telling, focusing on her client's journey and marketing their success stories. 

After years of blogging, working as a social media assistant and promotional consultant seemed to be the next step. When people ask her why she has delved into social media education and promotion, her answer is; "If I can advocate and write for mental health, giving a voice to children and youth, I can definitely advocate and market your business"  Her passion is in her writing, but her love is of people, putting these two together seems a natural for this talented writer.

She is noted to be an illustrative writer, where her craft has become a cathartic experience, through many years of journaling, blog writing, writing short stories and poetry; somehow these words magically transit off of the page, transcending into a true life form.  As an illustrative writer, she knows this is a true found gift, writing for herself and many who still struggle with mental health. 

Tamara has seen a lot of success in her freelance career, where even her first book Before You Were Born, a story about a frog who once felt sad lonely, has been a true source in healing for her own recovery. In a fabricated sense, the author mysteriously has been known to foretell many of her own life's events as well as other's through her writing. With the birth of her son that came to be, after writing about him five years prior in her first book Before You Were Born. She realised that there was more to her writing when she first understood. 

 The author once thought that her books were God's way of blessing her with talent instead of a family or a book instead of a boy. When the author's fairy tale came to be, she knew that her biggest miracle was conquering mental illness, in doing so all of her personal dreams came true.

As a mental health advocate, she speaks to those who are facing battles with healing. Offering them a means into healing, with a ready heart that allows acceptance. If nothing else she encourages communication. She strives for adventure, joy and tranquil moments. Living in a loving home leaving the anguishes of mental health aside. Her family is her closest circle who without them she would never have survived.  Every day she is thankful for their love and presence.
