Maybe you’re here because …

From the outside, life looks fine. On the inside, you've lost touch with what you actually want.
You keep meeting the same patterns, in yourself or with the people you love.
You understand yourself well by now, and you're tired of understanding without anything changing.
You're ready to stop managing your life and start living it.

If any of this sounds familiar, often, it’s simply a sign that the roots are ready for some tending.

Tend the roots. Let the rest grow.

Hi. I’m Tara.

For more than 20 years, I've walked beside individuals and couples as they find their way back to themselves. My work draws on a master's degree in psychology, research in natural medicine, a four-year meditation teacher training, and a lifetime of my own practice.

I'm also a big fan of karaoke, raging rivers, and very good food. Depth doesn't have to be heavy.

Much love,
