With one foot in magic, the other in hard evidence. I invite you to heal.
With its mysterious blend of sweetness and struggle, life is far from easy. One moment, we're soaring high on the thrill of success or the warmth of love, and the next, we're plummeting into the abyss of challenges and setbacks.
My purpose here seems to include a natural ability and passion to remind people of who they are - underneath it all, there is humanity in all of us that deserves, love and respect and compassion, and I will work with you until you find it, and connect with it again.

"My proudest work is with leaders who soften and strengthen at the very same time.
It's a testament to the true alchemy of transformation that flows through each of our unique journeys."

Empowering Journeys: Genuine Coaching for a Brighter Path
"Transformation is possible for everyone. At any moment in any situation, the possibility of going from a helpless, stuck state to a powerful, joyful state is just one perspective shy of reality. This moment is what I live for and drives the passion in me to continue helping people transform their lives for the better."
​
True as it is, I don't ask people to accept this blindly. Having been a coach for over a decade, I understand how frustrating it can be to sift the salt from the sand and find someone who can truly be helpful to you in a lasting way. But I also know the incredible power of this work first-hand. It's why I invite you to meet with me before you commit to anything and make a call based on your own initial experience with me.
​
My passion for this work, along with a desire to be as integral as possible, has led me to weaving the threads of professional coaching and holistic health, intertwining it with the results based work of neuro-science and quantum theory. Grounded in research and evidence, yet dancing in the realms of energy and spirit, I walk the path of the known and the unknown with equal reverence. The results my clients achieve speak for themselves.
​​
I work with strong, motivated people who are wise enough to recognize when an outside view may help to guide them forward and who believe that with a little - or sometimes a radical - shift in themselves they can create a shift in the core fabric of their lives.
3 TRUTHS that are the beating heart of my success as a coach:​
​
1 - Life is messy and noisy, often distracting us away from what matters. Clarity of our values & beliefs are what create our resilience, our peace and our joy;​
2 - Nobody has problems that are unsolvable - though they always feel that way at first;​
3 - No matter how hard life can be, compassion infused humor fortifies our healing.
True personal growth blossoms from the heart, nourished by authenticity and watered by experiences
"Working with Tara has been incredibly helpful in both my personal and professional life. Not only is Tara highly insightful and skilled but she also brings humour and a huge amount of empathy to her coaching.
The tools that Tara uses (primarily NLP and Core Transformations) are incredibly effective and unlike talk therapy, you never have to talk about anything traumatic if you don't want to. Plus the changes stick! them trust you.”
