6 week Therapy Accelerator Program

YOU’RE HERE BECAUSE…

• You have gathered your courage and you are READY to take a big step forward in your growth, development and healing
• You want to take the steps you need to move towards feeling less anxious, exhausted and hopeless and you are going to clear the time it takes to make it happen.
• But you are not sure which direction to focus your attention for your highest healing and to take a big leap forward. 
• You know you have a history of childhood trauma or neglect and may even have experienced additional traumatic events in your adult life, maybe even at work, but you haven’t found a way to clear the roots of this trauma so that you can live your life with more freedom and joy.
• You have been dragging yourself through your day and you are tired of low energy, poor mood and feeling depleted no matter what you do. 
• You feel tired but wired, but you want to feel grounded and energized
• Your relationships with family, with friends and colleagues are suffering
• You want tools you can use NOW to give your healing journey a head start and lead you in the right direction FOR YOU
• You have tried everything but nothing seems to stick….

LET ME GUESS…

You are finding that your work or home environment is causing or adding to the overwhelm you feel inside of you, and every day you feel like you are just hanging on.

It is getting harder and harder to maintain your composure – you may have even lost it once or twice in front of a colleague, client, friend or family member, ending up in a puddle of tears or full of shame.

Perhaps you have considered or chosen to take a leave from work to see if taking time for you can help get a handle on what you are feeling.

If so, you are not alone. I get it. I’ve had clients come to me after years of taking care of everyone, everything and still never feeling like they are enough.

Many clients come to me saying, “I feel so tired and so anxious. I’m so overwhelmed. I’m working as hard as I can, and I’m just not getting anywhere”. They want to know what direction to move so they can start to feel better, but they just don’t know where to turn.

Maybe you are confused because you’ve tried all the online yoga classes, meditations, and read all the books,  but none of these things seemed to make a dent. You are still exhausted, anxious and overwhelmed. You want to focus your energy in a direction that will result in some payoff.

In this 6-week program, From Exhaustion to Vitality: Healing Trauma, Cultivating Peace, and Remembering Your Worth, I’m going to show you exactly how to answer yes to each of those questions. I know it’s possible. I’ve worked with motivated but exhausted clients to guide them to move from feeling unworthy to developing lives they are proud of and energy that sustains them. I have watched them step into their lives with wonder and a greater capacity for joy where before they felt so lonely, lost, depleted, worried and afraid.

But you don’t change your life by just wanting it. You change your life by consistently engaging the inner technologies that all of us have, but most of us have forgotten. When practiced with specificity to you, these techniques affect change in your whole body, your whole being, your multifaceted, multidimensional Self. But, you need a strategy tailored to you that works with all the layers of your being and in the direction you want to go.

TESTIMONIALS

“I did Tara’s intensive, having no idea what to expect. On the most basic level, it was a nurturing week in a safe environment that left me feeling connected and inspired. This in and of itself was amazing. It truly felt like a gift to myself. It was also, however, deeply and mysteriously transformative, in a way that continues to surprise, astonish and intrigue me 3 months later. The retreat facilitated shifts that I only hoped might be possible and revealed and attended to areas I didn’t even know needed to be healed.  The gift of holding space for others, and for allowing myself the courage to be vulnerable in front of others while healing, was also extremely meaningful and enriching, even more so than if I were to do this process privately, I think. I left thinking it was the best-kept magic secret in this small town.  And I have traveled the world seeking out healing transformative experiences!”

“The process of “Re-membering” provided a deep sense of clarity & understanding of the self. I left feeling empowered to continue to do the work and trust the process, developed a strong connection to self, the earth and all who inhabit it, while gaining a newfound love for yoga. Life-changing experience!”
