Trained by the Canada Coach Academy, Tara is a certified Life and Wellness Coach. She holds an ACC accreditation with the International Coaching Federation. She has been working since 2018 as a Leadership Coach with the Health Policy Research Scholars Program and has experience coaching clients using the Clifton Strengths Finder assessment. Her own top StrengthsFinder signature themes are: Connectedness, Empathy, Developer, Input and Relator, which when woven together, happen to be a powerful dynamic for co-active coaching for change.
Tara’s vision for coaching is to embody a peaceful and positive presence and create a trustworthy space for clients to be their true selves so that they feel inspired and encouraged to live their full potential in service to the world. Her practice is rooted in her values of generous listening, awareness, and clean questions that expand thinking. In coaching sessions with Tara, clients can expect to feel heard, validated and honored for their lived experience and the unique gifts they bring, without critique. Tara’s coaching sessions offer a counter-cultural space where clients are invited to seek solutions from their own inner teacher, as opposed to external authorities; to slow down and rest amidst the urgency of the world’s needs; and to embrace wholeness and integrity as additional measures of success beyond those of statusizing, performance and perfectionism.

Testimonials
My sessions with Tara were very enjoyable and helpful. In her gentle, grounded presence I felt both welcome and safe to explore whatever was arising for me. Her insightful open questions invited me to see things from new perspectives, helping me shift old patterns and make room for new energy and ideas. In each session, Tara's warmth, compassion and skill shone through. I am so grateful for the time we shared together. --Heidi Kalyani, Mindfulness and Inner Transformation Guide
Tara was the first coach I have worked with, and I am so grateful that I had this unique opportunity to work with someone who was so attentive and kind during a very stressful time of my life. Her support has been invaluable during the process of my dissertation, and I only wished we would have met sooner. Thank you, Tara, for listening and grounding me when I needed it most. Our conversations allowed me to reflect and center my intentions for why I was developing my research and continue to hold the greater vision in moments when I was feeling lost. Even through zoom, I felt your warmth and openness and found it easy to connect with you from anywhere in the world. You are exceptional at holding space that feels safe to be vulnerable, and that is such a rare gift in this often chaotic world. Thank you!!!! -Laurent Reyes, PhD
