ABOUT TARA
​My career in the healthcare industry began as a pharmacy technician in a local women and children’s hospital. From there, it bloomed into a Doctorate of Pharmacy Degree in 2002 and I was handed my diploma when I was almost 9 months pregnant with my first baby girl. My second daughter was born 3 years later and, while she is now a super happy young lady, when she was an infant, she developed colic. And that, my friends, turned my world upside down. The inconsolable crying fits and guilt of not being able to figure out how to soothe my baby was devastating. But, like all mothers do, we get through it, and I ended up turning to writing as therapy. This led to the national publication of my self-help book, “The Colic Chronicles: A Mother’s Survival Guide to Calming Your Baby While Keeping Your Cool” (Hachette Book Group ).
IN THE BEGINNING...
I’m super excited to meet you and would love to share my personal journey with you!
​
...Now fast forward to when my girls were 6 and 3, And, for some unknown reason, my health started to decline drastically. I felt like I had the flu for a period of many years, most days of the week. After multiple doctors, specialists, etc, I finally received my autoimmune disease diagnosis. I was prescribed some pretty powerful medications but still was not feeling that great. I realized that I had to do something more. I could not let the lack of energy keep me down. This is where my health and fitness journey exploded. I ate better, I moved better, I felt better, and I loved stronger. (And, I am determined to get you there too.)

​
My career background includes over 20 years of experience as a healthcare professional which has included extensive work in the diabetes self-management and education space. Through my interaction with patients, and constant quest for educational growth, I have learned how to empower and motivate others to overcome the many challenges life may throw our way especially when it comes to healthy choices and self-care practices. I also obtained my national certification in health coaching which perfectly complemented the work I was already performing. Although I am a registered and practicing pharmacist, my role as health coach is purely just that…your personal health and wellness partner.​
MY HEALTHCARE EXPERIENCE
YOUR PERSONAL JOURNEY
​This program incorporates my secret-sauce for success, “The Positive Feedback Frenzy.” Similar to the concept of “Pay if Forward,” where one small act of kindness creates a cascading chain of events that can help countless others, this is YOUR act of kindness paid to YOURSELF. Utilizing my 4 keys for success, we will explore your biggest strengths, motivations, and potential barriers so that you can determine what baby steps you can make today, to help create impactful, sustainable results. Together, we will propel you into your very own, personal positive feedback frenzy! And, once you get to that point my friends, the real transformation begins. Not only are you happier and healthier, but all of that self-love and confidence soaks into all of your loved ones around you, creating a network of positive vibes!
Get ready, get set, let’s fly!!!!!!!!!
With love and gratitude,
