“The REAL reason people come here is for Tara. She is not only a skilled integrative massage and bodyworker, she’s also beautifully intuitive, and warm. What really sets Tara apart is her ability to help you help yourself. Her integrative approach helps to bring mind, body, and spirit into alignment, allowing you to strengthen and align not only your body but also your energetic boundaries.  I’ve been a massage and energy work client of hers for well over a decade and it’s consistently one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.”
