Tara began her journey writing a blog for a new business and quickly found herself juggling roles in journalism, social media, and client growth. In 2017, a business owner asked her to teach them her social media secrets and she discovered her true passion: coaching. After facing financial struggles and hitting rock bottom, Tara invested in herself, attended a life-changing coaching retreat in Beverly Hills, and trained in NLP, Hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy. Today, she helps thousands of clients thrive, sells out her retreats, wrote a best-selling book, and built the life of her dreams.
