Specializations & Modalities
Tara employs a range of advanced therapeutic techniques to help clients regain mobility, reduce pain, and restore muscle function. Her specialized modalities include:
Philosophy & Approach
Tara’s therapy is centered on retraining the body to function optimally by addressing the fundamental aspects of muscle health. She believes that healthy muscles alleviate pressure on joints, release impinged nerves, and relieve spinal tension—ultimately leading to improved posture and reduced inflammation.
Her guiding philosophy aligns with the well-known adage: “A body in motion stays in motion.” She encourages her clients to maintain an active lifestyle, understanding that movement is key to sustained health and longevity.
Beyond Massage Therapy
Outside of her professional practice, Tara is a passionate advocate for a holistic lifestyle. She enjoys growing her own food, woodworking, crafting, and reading. As a mother of two and a devoted wife, she balances her career with her love for family life. Before entering the world of massage therapy, she spent nearly a decade as a professional cook, and she still delights in trying new recipes and baking.
At Massage Alchemy, Tara brings her wealth of experience and compassionate approach to help clients achieve optimal movement, pain relief, and overall well-being. Whether recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or simply seeking to improve physical function, clients can trust Tara’s expertise to guide them on their healing journey.
