"Kim helped me with multiple issues; trauma, work and relationships. She was easy to talk with, no nonsense. Kim helped me get to the root of issues that have held me back. She gave me my confidence back and tools that will help me in the future." -K.P."

I’ve been with Kim for about 4yrs. The impact she has had on my healing journey is astronomical. I will only work with her. She makes me feel heard, understood and challenges me to dig deep. I would not be where I’m at today without her. I look forward to our sessions even if I know it’ll be hard; she has a way of making me feel at ease at the end of the session. She has been flexible and supportive; I highly recommend her to anyone." -J.S.

"I truly believe Kim changed my life with EMDR.I started working my dream job a month ago, have been happy in my relationship, and just feel so happy and grateful!"-I.B.

As an athlete, I often deal with muscle soreness and injuries. Seeking an alternative to over-the-counter pain relievers, I consulted Tara for help. Tara not only understood my specific needs but also had a deep knowledge of herbs and their properties. She recommended a combination of herbal remedies to reduce inflammation and support muscle recovery. I was amazed at how well her herbal treatments worked for me. Not only did I experience relief from pain and swelling, but I also noticed improved overall athletic performance.

The expertise and guidance provided by Tara have been invaluable in helping me maintain my physical well-being.

I had been experiencing hormonal imbalances that were causing a range of distressing symptoms. Traditional medicine didn't offer many solutions beyond hormone replacement therapy, which I wasn't comfortable with. Desperate for an alternative, I sought the help of Tara. She took the time to understand my concerns and developed a comprehensive herbal protocol to address my hormonal issues. Over time, I noticed a remarkable improvement in my symptoms, from mood swings to irregular periods.

Tara's knowledge and guidance helped me regain hormonal balance in a gentle and natural way. I highly recommend her expertise to anyone seeking a holistic approach to hormonal health.
