Hi, I'm Tehnan

Hi, I’m Tehnan! I’m a first-year medical student currently living in Broome. Moving here from Melbourne has been a big change, but I’m loving the pace of regional life and the chance to connect with people on a more personal level. Beyond my studies, I’m a dedicated cat person and someone who believes deeply in the power of shared experience.

I’m passionate about becoming a mentor because I know firsthand how exhausting it can be to navigate health challenges and life transitions without a solid support system. Having spent years managing chronic pelvic pain, IBS, hormonal imbalances (yes, growing hair anywhere but my head is my superpower!)  and the endless cycle of treatments that come with it, I’ve learned that having someone in your corner can make all the difference. I want to help normalise the conversations we often find difficult to have—especially around pain and health—and provide a space where you feel heard and supported.

I’m a warm, open, and approachable person, and I’m here to offer whatever support I can as you navigate your own path towards finding peace with your body. Whether you need a sounding board for your studies or someone who understands the ups and downs of managing long-term health, I’m always happy to chat.
