PRIVATE SESSIONS
Work with me
DEAR TRAVELER,
Thank you for visiting this space, I am honored to meet and delighted to hold space for you.
Walking the human journey towards becoming the essence of your unique embodied Self is a lifetime continuum of inquiry and practice. If we are truly doing the work, the meeting of our authentic selves requires constant updating to clarify our capacity, and to navigate the treacherous terrain both inside and outside that emerges in the course of our experience.
This is work that happens relationally. It requires support along the way. Navigating the vastness of the human body/mind terrain whilst engaging in the rapid pace of the modern world is a far trickier landscape. Relationships, jobs, family, and changing global environment, acknowledgement of individual and collective traumas all present challenges that invite us to adapt and grow.
Your capacity to anchor in the bedrock of your own SELF energy, to melt psychological and physical blocks is a gorgeous quest of unlocking yourself. If you desire to amplify your clarity and ground through your whole body, heal past traumas, and discover how to actualize your most intrinsic longings, then I would love to work with you!
WAYS TO WORK WITH ME
Every one of us is unique and my offerings reflect that. No matter if you are looking for short-term support with a specific topic, a true in-depth recalibration of your ground of being, or mentoring as a teacher to unpack your unique gifts - there are ways that we can work together to unpack your unprecedented individual authentic Self.
Private Sessions - available as single sessions or long-term bundles
Teacher Mentoring - Add depth, dimension, and intention to your knowledge of Somatics, philosophy, meditation, and business

PRIVATE SESSIONS
Together we will use both inquiry and somatic techniques in order to rediscover the felt sense of your authentic ground and own embodied sense of well being. My role is to hold a safe and loving space as we unpack the emotions, feelings and sensations that may be obfuscating your access to your home within. By drawing on your natural strengths and discovering access to territories where the body/mind may feel stuck or unaware, we will then work to find increasing ways to inhabit, practice and expand into your core self.
Over time we will work to uncover the gifts and talents you may have buried, finding the aspects of body/mind that may have become blocked, diminished or forgotten, to help bring you into flow. The aim of these sessions is to develop your inner resource for more choice, adaptability and resilience to thrive in your life.
TEACHER MENTORING
The art of teaching yoga is a lifelong pursuit of cultivating tools to listen. Facilitating yoga space asks that the conductor knows how to hold space, use theirher voice, and to create containers that allow students to discover their own innate sense of wholeness. The best teachers use their own curiosity and passion to direct their increasing repertoire of knowledge and skill. In order to do that, we as facilitators must endlessly refine our instrument. One of my passions is to hone the natural strengths in this realm by assisting in the cultivation of a widening bank of greater tools and resources. Whether you are a new or experienced teacher looking for ways to expand, the path of teaching yoga compels us all to keep growing.
These sessions will help you develop skills ranging from class theming, to crafting workshops and retreats. We will work on your own unique expression: How to hold and conduct space, use body language and presence, enhance use of language and theming skills so you can curate meaningful journeys for students.
Other mentoring topics covered include: business of yoga, dealing with challenging student/teacher dynamics, yoga therapeutics, philosophy, sequencing, and career development.
UNLOCKING YOU
Often the threshold of great change arises in the times of deepest conflict or confusion. If you can see the obstacle is the doorway - It is time. You are ready to commit to a transformational journey lovingly tended to with a comprehensive support system. As you work to reframe and uplevel your body/mind system, I am here as an empathic guide to help you lead with your own innate wisdom. This 3-month program offers continual support to help unlock the unknown and to step into your own agency. Are you ready to start unlocking you?
WHY WORK WITH ME
My greatest passion …
… is to witness humans becoming the clearest embodiment of their own authentic Self. Like watching a musician in the pocket, or an athlete in the zone there is a resonance that ripples through the collective when a human becomes whole in themselves. A human who resides in the fundamental unblocked “I amness” of their living essence, is what makes me tick.
Obsessed with the body/mind since the earliest age, I have made it my life’s mission to understand what stands in the way of that agency. First for my own healing, and then for others. I have had many guides along the way and have learned that the journey towards becoming clear, empowered, adaptable, and free happens through relationship.
In this capacity, I have worked 1:1 with clients for over 20 years in Yoga, somatic movement therapy, counseling, spiritual inquiry, and somatic psychology, and mentorship. My studies over the last 30 years have included yoga, meditation, theater arts, Body-Mind Centering®, somatic psychology, tantric philosophy, Internal Family Systems, and Body-Mind Psychotherapy.
My deepest desire is to hold a safe and loving ground to listen and offer support as you untangle the mystery of your innate Self. It is my sincere belief that this is the greatest work we can do to make our collective whole.
As an Registered Professional Member of the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association (ISMETA), I meet the high Standards of Practice and uphold the Code of Ethics.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
“Working with Tara has, in a very literal sense, changed my life. She deeply understands what it means to carve your own path in the world. She know how to navigate the complexity of self and how to discern the deeply rooted wisdom we all carry from the many competing narratives and influences that shape our thoughts and perspectives. She held compassionate space for me at a time when I was struggling on many fronts. She helped me to move through issues and blocks that felt intractable, work with the feelings that were arising in an embodied way, find resources to nourish myself and crucially find new perspectives.
Her understanding, guidance and encouragement were instrumental in helping me find the courage to leave a job that was no longer serving me and create the conditions in my life to let my own creativity flourish. I am incredibilty grateful to her.
”
“LIFECHANGING! That is the short version of how I would describe what the private sessions with Tara is about. I have had a few mentors over the years in different areas but never experienced anything like this before. It feels so complete! How Tara holds the space so beautifully no matter what, where you feel 100% safe, seen & supported and how she through her experience and amazing intuition just exactly knows what’s needed in every session in every moment. For me the feeling of being safe and supported is a big key to dare to be curious, to explore, dare to challenge myself and push the limits outside my comfort zone. After every session I feel something more opened up or got more clear or I got a new insight.
I have never before in my life felt so empowered, confident, creative, filled with inspiration and how I for every session feel I am growing, evolving and getting closer and closer to me, the core self of me, the authentic me. ”
