Tamara de Resendes
Founder - AKA Mama Sparrow
Tamara de Resendes, lovingly known as Mama Sparrow, is the founder of Holy Pierogy and the gentle guiding heart behind Sparrow’s Nest. After facing her own season of burnout, health challenges—both physical and emotional—and years of giving to everyone but herself, Tamara turned inward, discovering the healing power of journaling, creative expression, and radical self-care.
With a background in health and safety, and a deep desire to create spaces where people feel emotionally held and heard, she transformed her lived experience into something greater: a warm, quirky, grace-filled community for women, caregivers, and wild-hearted souls who are ready to reclaim their peace—one journal page, one breath, one self-love practice at a time.
Whether she’s guiding others through a gentle journaling journey, brewing comfort in words and courses, or cheering from the sidelines with a pot of tea in hand, Tamara believes in one simple truth: you are worthy of rest, reflection, and ridiculously tender love. And she's here to help you believe it too.

We’re all a little like pierogies—handmade, tender, and filled with stories waiting to be shared. Welcome to our table!
