Her first experience with
the healing power of massage therapy was during her years as a dedicated
violinist. It helped ease her over worked muscles but also had an
affect on her overall energy levels, sleep patterns, and anxiety. Tara
realized that through massage therapy she was able to heal in a more
direct way and on a deeper level.
While studying music education and violin performance at MSU, Tara had
repeated pain associated with holding her instrument and decided to
pursue massage therapy instead so that she could offer healing to
others.
When Tara is not working she is spending time with her family, and is an avid outdoor enthusiast who likes to hike, kayak, and work on her gardens.
