Your Path to Authentic Embodiment and Nervous System Nourishment
✨ Reconnect. Embody. Sparkle. ✨
Welcome to The Sparkly Alien—a global movement and healing space for sensitive souls, deep feelers, and those with beautifully wired brains and bodies that were never meant to fit into narrow boxes.
I’m Tanya Hicks, known as The Sparkly Alien—international speaker, author, and award-winning creator of Authenticity Architecture. My work is for those who feel deeply, notice everything, and carry both the ache and magic of being sensitive in a world that often asks us to harden.
At The Sparkly Alien, we don’t believe you’re too much. We believe you’ve always been just right. You’ve just needed the right support to thrive.

1. The Sparkly Alien Empowerment Series
Books that honour sensitivity, celebrate authenticity, and transform how you meet the world.
Dive into this transformative series where each book is a guide, a companion, and a call to remember who you are beneath the masking, the burnout, and the pressure to be “less.”
📖 Navigate life with confidence – Discover trauma-informed strategies and sensory-aware tools tailored to sensitive, neurodivergent, and deeply feeling bodies and minds.
💡 Empower yourself with knowledge – Build emotional safety, deepen self-trust, and reconnect with your inner spark using evidence-based insights and interactive activities.
🌟 Thrive on your own terms – Explore self-acceptance, identity, and nervous system nourishment in ways that feel joyful, expansive, and true to you.
From creating environments that soothe your system to exploring what makes you light up, these books are your invitation to live with more clarity, compassion, and courage.
✨ You are not a problem to be fixed. You are a story ready to be lived—fully, boldly, and beautifully. ✨
2. The Sparkly Reset: Somatic Embodiment of Nervous System Nourishment + Authenticity Architecture™
The Sparkly Reset is not just a practice—it’s a full-body, soul-deep invitation to reset, regulate, and reconnect with your most authentic self. Rooted in trauma-informed neuroscience, somatic embodiment, and Tanya Hicks’ signature Authenticity Architecture™, this experience is designed for sensitive, neurodivergent, and deep-feeling individuals who are ready to heal without having to mask who they are.
This is not traditional yoga. It’s not about flexibility or aesthetics.
It’s about nervous system nourishment, self-trust, and finding safety in your body again.
🌟 Sparkle in Your Own Way – A sensory-aware, neurodivergent-affirming movement practice that honours your body’s cues, capacities, and unique rhythm.
🧠 Grounded in Neuroscience – Informed by polyvagal theory, somatic trauma research, and body-mind integration to support emotional regulation, safety, and presence.
💫 Accessible for All – Gentle, adaptable, and designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re in burnout, recovery, or simply seeking more ease—this is for you.
Through breath, movement, stillness, and attunement, you'll begin to rewire how you relate to stress, disconnection, and survival-mode living.
✨ Breathe into your brilliance. Move toward self-trust. Sparkle in a body that finally feels like home. ✨
🔄 The Sparkly Reset is here to support you in building real resilience—not by pushing through, but by tuning in.
