Meet Tara
I am a loving, compassionate, intuitive, light-hearted & caring facilitator, teacher & medicine woman.
It all started when...
I almost died from a misdiagnosis by three different doctors in 1996, which left me with little support, relief, or cure. I was suffering from endometriosis, which led me to a near-death experience and losing an ovary.
I then embarked on a journey to heal myself by using alternative healing methods, including aromatherapy, massage, energetic therapy, shamanic healing, rebirthing, movement, diet, traditional Chinese medicine, sound, and body-mind connection. This led me down an amazing rabbit hole, and I have never looked back.
I realized this was much more than just a physical disease. My traumatic life experiences had led me to manifest it in my body. I realized it was also mental, emotional, and Spiritual as well.
So I went in search of how I could take full responsibility for what I had created and how to cure. I was brought up a catholic, my parents divorced at a young age, I lost my virginity by rape, more sexual trauma, bulimia, became a stripper at a young age, and just knew there was all kinds of mixed up in me.
I did just that and the self inquiry hasn't stopped.
I have been enriched, healed, opened, burned in the soul fire and enlivened to live a happy, fulfilling, joyful Life. I say YES to it all and it has been so worth it. I swear I have experienced more joy and blissful moments due to it all. I am so grateful for it ALL.
It has changed me to the very core of my being and I would love to walk beside you so you can have the same joyful magic in your life.
THIS IS MY MISSION.
I wanted to be happy & started the quest to heal

I embody the work that I teach
I embody the work that I teach as I have journeyed deeply through my own transformational awakening using the tools that I share. I am a learning nerd and love to keep learning to cultivate more tools to help myself and others on this crazy ride. My current obsession is studying attachment theory and vagal toning.
I will enable you to move forward in your life with a sense of calm, joy and purpose. I am one of the creators of Sydney Tantra Temple and I Am Woman Global since 2012. I currently run monthly events and ceremonies, as well as, collaborative events, retreats and festivals. I have lead women's circles and ceremonial rituals for the past 16 years all across Australia.
Testimonials
“During my struggle with cancer I look inward for healing, not just physical but emotional and spiritual as well. I traveled the world seeking answers in Ashrams and Seminars. I attended events with motivational speakers and gurus.
I met Tara in August of 2016, and attended a spiritual retreat where she was the facilitator. Since then I have attended a half dozen events with her as the leader and have seen her in private sessions. She is without a doubt the most caring facilitator I have met. She doesn’t coddle you or provide a shield from the demons we must face on life’s journey, but she does walk with you.
Every other group I saw – every speaker I heard all did the same thing, upsell to the next events or course. I felt as if I was getting on a merry-go-round of personal development and self-healing. I was left anxious at the end of many of them wondering if I needed more “Fixing”.
Tara never did this, it has always been just to move further along the path on this thing called life.”

Diana Richardson, Betty Martin, Brene Brown, Byron Katies and Ester Perel are huge inspirations for me. I love all of their work, their message to the world and what they stand for.
All pioneers in their field and in Life. I watch and read their stuff often to keep me on track and inspired.
