Dearest followers, it has been in my heart for some time to take a step forward into the next evolution of my offerings to you all, and now is the time to finally share what’s to come from here on out…

As some you of know, I have had one foot in somatics and another in the creative arts (as a musician, painter and poet). For a long time I felt the need to separate my self in two, because I thought this would create clarity for my audiences. However, as my two businesses have taught me over the years, integration of all of our parts is what assists in the solidification of wholeness.

Moving forward I will be combining my trauma informed work of somatics with creativity support spanning between vocal activation workshops, sound healing, group mark-making sessions, 1:1 creativity coaching, poetry gatherings to name but a few new exciting offerings next year.

Whether you’re an artist feeling inspired to find more breadth of expression, or a city worker that hasn’t yet found a way back into playful creativity since childhood, this new body of work is curated to guide into a grounded flow state so you can continually fuel the fire of creation and healing simultaneously.

You’ll be able to find me and my new offerings over for future reference. Come and follow me over there if you haven’t already.

Love, Tara 🙏🏽🖤🌚

The reality of this statement may seem overly simplified, but the truth is that we’re extremely good at making healing seem overly complicated when we come at it from the intellect alone.

The patterns showing up in your life be it in relationship, sense of purpose, or access to life force is a mirror of how much your body feels safe, seen and free.

When we try to micro manage the individual topics in our lives we want to bring into coherence, it is likely that these changes will not stick long term by action alone. Because we need to go one step deeper, into the subtler realm of body signals that can speak of pre verbal past memories that could not be fully processed at the time, nor make logical sense to the prefrontal cortex of the brain. This is where lasting healing can occur. From the bottom up.

So if you’re feeling a bit stuck today take a scan of your inner sensations and discover where might be feeling stuck in the body. Offer this part of your body some breath and compassion. If it feels challenging to feel what’s happening inside know that this is usual when there’s some overwhelm in the system.

If you need support learning how to feel and reveal these deeper layers, l’m so here to walk alongside your journey of discovery 🙏🏽

The extent to which we can inhabit our body is the extent to which we can exist fully in this lifetime. Though we have been taught through the ages that the mind is the ultimate gateway into existence: ‘I think therefore I am’, we have been gravely undersold the full story which is the story of your body as another potent threshold into life. Whether you relate to your body through breathing or shaking, we are in desperate need as a civilisation of coming back into our bodies to discover a wisdom that is beyond the mental constructs of our conditioned reality…

Feel free to drop in the comments below what other body practices help you exist more fully in your life?

It never fails to surprise me how much teaching embodiment practices can transform the atmosphere of an inner and outer space. Thanking all 12 bodies that showed up yesterday to rediscover their internal healing compass. If you’d like to come to the final workshop of the year I’ll be back at the gorgeous on the 14th December. Booking link in bio 🙏🏽

You do NOT need to earn the right to feel good in your own skin. No matter what size or shape you are, no matter how many scars or ‘symptoms’ you carry, your body always deserves love.

So many human beings today struggle to accept the skin they live in despite their body being incredible at keeping them going in the face of adversity. I have known this story too well and am relieved to say that this story now belongs to my past.

Know that it’s never your fault if you don’t feel in relationship with your body because there are so many reasons that make it very hard to do so. And know that there are ways you can learn to inhabit and appreciate the amazing work your body does for you in any given moment. Like how your heart is managing to pump blood around your entire body right now without you needing to ask it to?

If you’re looking to learn how to truly come into a more harmonious relationship with your body let’s chat about how we can get you on the road to recovery. DM ‘recovery’ to find out how to work with me today 🙏🏽

One of the realities of walking alongside individuals on their healing journey is that there will never be a one size fits all approach for anyone. I accept and embrace that I will forever be learning new ways to be in relationship with every human being. Luckily this knowing fills me with humility and aliveness which I am heartened to know these clients have felt this whilst working with me.

Having been on the receiving end of so many therapies, I have a deep appreciation for the trust it takes to allow another person to witness and untangle your inner workings. And, I don’t believe we can heal as deeply until we take this leap of faith of vulnerability be it with a safe friendship, family member or highly skilled trauma practitioner such as my self.

If you’re unsure whether you’re ready to take the leap, book in a free discovery call today via the Calendly link in bio and ask me anything you want about the Tension Freedom process 🙏🏽

I know this might feel contrary to your deep desire for a fast way out of tension symptoms. However, if we want to get to the root of why your body is carrying uncomfortable symptoms then we need to work slooow and steady to ensure that we aren’t overloading the body with extra stress by trying to get the job done asap. If you’re feeling some impatience remember that slow is the most sustainable and safe way through the pain…

If you want to learn more about how to work slow and steady with your tension symptoms feel free to book in a free discovery call via the link in booking 🙏🏽
