Meet Tara

 

My biggest value that I bring to every table is authenticity, and it is important that my clients feel that they can bring their full selves into the treatment room with ease.

​

I am curious, compassionate, and always eager to learn and grow. I have always held an interest in anatomy and movement. While not an athlete, I've enjoyed various forms of exercise included powerlifting, flow arts, dance, yoga, and roller skating. I'm a firm believer in doing what brings you joy, in whatever capacity that may be, and that continues to lead me to try new things.

​

I am a big advocate for mental health, with my own understanding of that experience. My hope is that this understanding lends to the support I can provide through my massage practice.

​

My favourite way to wind down is listening to music and immersing myself into an art project, or curling up with my cat and reading a book.

Why Massage Therapy?

 

My interest in massage therapy spans pretty far back, but it wasn't until I had to re-evaluate how I felt about eclipsing a 10 year anniversary at my office job that I decided to really pursue it as a career.

 

Growing up my step mom was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and since then more of my family members have been diagnosed with chronic pain conditions. As a kid I would give her massages, and while I had a lot less education at the time, it has given me some perspective on the importance of manual therapy as a tool to help manage symptoms both physically and mentally.

 

Massage therapy offers this benefit of time spent with a patient that we don't often see in health care. That time provides important insight into the needs of the people we are helping, and  it really is an opportunity that I don't take for granted.
