Over the years I’ve collected some very nice things people have said about their experiences working with me. The work is more about you than it is about me, however trust between us is crucial. My hope is that after reading some of these nice things you will have a better idea of what it’d be like to work with me.


Trauma Release Exercise (Tre®)

I recently had two very helpful TRE sessions with Tara. Tara was so kind, skilled, and knowledgeable! Her calm and accepting presence immediately put me at ease. She took plenty of time to let me express exactly what I was hoping to achieve with the exercises. I had been doing the TRE exercises on my own for a couple months prior to our first appointment. Even though I already knew the basics, Tara had so many beneficial observations, insights, and suggestions that I feel like she really helped me move past some blocks and get to a new level with the exercises. I’m very happy with the progress I’ve made so far and highly recommend Tara for anyone who is healing from trauma.

I came to Tara wanting some more tools in my “tool box” because I had tried traditional therapy, but wanted to really connect my mind and body. Together we decided that TRE therapy would be a great fit. The incredible depth of energetic vibration and healing that TRE can bring about truly helped me connect better with my body. Instead of being concerned about the “whys” of things, I learned to just feel with my body. Tara always listened with a gentle heart and truly helps individuals find their own strength. Tara always conducted our sessions with compassion, care, and attention to an individual’s needs. TRE has enhanced my somatic awareness and has become an integral part of my healing journey!

Tara’s body work has been such a blessing to me. It’s complemented other work I’m doing in regards to getting healthier. I’ve also done TRE training with her and it’s quite powerful. She is a wonderful listener and her energy is calming. She’s very skilled in finding and working with the areas of your body that need attention. I highly recommend her!

“TRE with Tara was amazing. I have never done anything like this before. Learning about the natural way the body releases when allowed is both inspiring and joyful.”

Massage + CranioSacral Therapy 

“I feel so grateful to have the privilege of working with Tara. The support she has offered my physical well-being has been extremely beneficial, but the work she does surrounding my emotional well-being is what consistently stands out. The empathy and kindness she offers each session is unmatched. Tara is so incredibly in tune with the body and makes it easy to trust her during moments that feel very vulnerable. She goes above and beyond during each appointment with the care she provides. She is extremely knowledgeable and has taught me so much about how to care for my body. I appreciate that she encourages me to explore and listen to what my body is saying, while also supporting me through it. She has created a safe space that allows for authentic healing to take place. She and her skill are truly a gift.”

Tara is amazing! She has kept me upright and mobile for the past 4 years. She has a calm quiet manner that pairs well with her healing touch. I greatly appreciate her knowledge, her empathy and her sense of humor. If you want a great massage, I highly recommend her!”

“Phenomenal! For overall wellness/immune system, I have read that a massage/month is recommended. With Terra Massage & Wellness, I know that I located the perfect location. Tara has this superpower, where she seems to know – intuitively – where the massage is most needed. Truly the perfect massage; therefore, reserve! Become a client (best of all for you: a regular client).”

-A.G.

“I used to think that massage was a luxury, now I fully understand it to be a critical part of my self-care regimen. I hike, bike, and do yoga, and Tara’s therapeutic massage enhances my ability to continue. I believe Tara has the gift of healing touch, it’s not just “massage.” She’s intuitive and connected, which adds a special element to the whole experience. Her energy is healing, and comforting. I feel safe in her care, and I’ve learned how to receive more deeply. I’m more open to how therapeutic massage can bring emotional as well as physical healing. How she uses essential oils is a treat. Should we not all care for ourselves in this way? :)”

“The first time I had a massage with Tara, it was a wonderful experience.  In fact, it was so good that I signed up for a massage with Tara twice a month.  It has helped my body and spirit immensely!”

Somato-Emotional Release

Working with Terra Wellness is changing my life. It is providing me with a sense of meaning, clarity, and direction to the things held in my body and mind. Each session, we explore, while Tara holds a space where I feel both safe and honored. She asks questions, checks for consent, and we gradually unlock what is there. And it turns out that change and healing is possible.
