Bio

Tara's journey into the world of healing began with her own search for effective remedies for health challenges, including digestive, skin, and hormonal imbalances. This personal quest led her to the transformative power of Chinese Medicine, which she now integrates with contemporary coaching practices to offer a comprehensive approach to achieving optimal health and a purposeful life.

Tara is a graduate of the Acupuncture Foundation in Dublin and holds a postgraduate Licentiate from Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine in China. She completed advanced acupuncture training at the Hanoi National Hospital of Traditional Medicine in Vietnam and studied Classical Chinese Herbal Medicine with the Jing Fang Classics Institute ENG, where she serves as co-founder and coordinator. A dedicated lifelong learner, Tara continually deepens her knowledge in Chinese medicine. She is also professionally trained in personal, business, and executive coaching through the Irish Life Coaching Institute, expanding her approach to client care.

In her practice, Tara combines person-centered coaching with Chinese herbal medicine, dietary recommendations, and lifestyle adjustments to empower individuals to enhance their overall well-being. Whether clients are looking to overcome health challenges, build emotional resilience, or achieve specific personal goals, Tara offers guidance tailored to their unique needs.

Through her years of experience, Tara has come to deeply understand what Chinese medicine has always emphasised; that the mind and body are deeply interconnected. By addressing physical health concerns—such as imbalances that can be resolved through herbal treatments, nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments—clients often experience profound shifts in their emotional and mental well-being. As they learn to better care for their physical health, they naturally gain clarity, purpose, and the capacity to make positive changes in their lives.

Conversely, Tara recognises that unresolved emotional stress, trauma, and mental imbalance can manifest as physical ailments, creating a vicious cycle that is often difficult to break. Her approach addresses the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—fostering a space where clients can regain balance, reclaim their well-being, and cultivate long-term resilience.

Tara offers online consultations to meet the needs of clients worldwide. Whether individuals seek to heal physically, build emotional resilience, or create a more fulfilling life, Tara is there to support them every step of the way. Together, they work to empower clients to step into a healthier, more purposeful, and self-sufficient version of themselves.
