About

Dr. Tamara

Welcome! I am so happy you found your way to my website. My mission is to create a wellness community that revolutionizes us as individuals, finding our way back to and awakening our true and authentic selves. Finding freedom from physical and emotional suffering so that we can show up in our lives and world and make a difference.  Finding a compassionate and competent professional and community to support you on your journey to wellness can bring more ease and efficiency to a process that can at times feel overwhelming. Look around my site and if you feel like we might be a good fit, I would love to talk to about the possibility of working together and supporting you on your wellness journey!

 

A little about me: 

​

COMPASSIONATE CARE:

I believe in the right of all people to receive compassionate care and support, something that we all need in times of struggle. All of my work is founded on the principles of honoring and respecting the person you are and what has led you to a place where you are seeking support. It takes immense courage to seek support and to share private and personal details of your story and I believe in honoring that in all that I do by providing a nurturing, nonjudgmental environment. 

​

FINDING FREEDOM:

I began working with individuals who had experienced trauma over 20 years ago and developed a deep awe for the resiliency of the human spirit. This initiated my avid seeking and learning about the human mind, the physiological parallels of emotional themes, and the ways that stress, life experiences, and our environment shape us that at first glance may not seem to make sense.  All of us develop ways of being and coping that are necessary to survive and function in certain environments, but when we are no longer in that environment can become a prison of its own. I am passionate about helping others find freedom from strategies that are no longer serving them and in many cases, contribute to their suffering. 

​

FINDING ROOT CAUSE OF STRUGGLES:

My mission is to empower and support you in becoming the best person you can be through a holistic framework, staying abreast of the latest research, and cutting edge technology. There is a complex interweaving and interdependency of mind, body and spirit and together we can be partners in exploring all elements of your current struggles in order to understand the root cause of your challenges.  I view symptoms as important clues you are receiving to provide guidance to what is needed for optimal health, balance and the ability to thrive- a roadmap to understanding and transformation. Research now supports the understanding that there is a synergistic relationship between our mind and body and that a holistic approach honoring this interconnection is a powerful agent for optimal well being.

 

OVERCOMING RECURRING, SELF LIMITING PATTERNS:

I believe in the importance of your inner wisdom and in removing any/all blocks to that wisdom on the path to finding optimal wellness and embracing your highest potential.  We often know what to do, but too often fail to do it, unconsciously sabotaging change we desire and then shaming ourselves for our lack of change as we repeat self-limiting patterns in our lives.  Together we will identify these patterns, honor the reason for them, identify the obstacles blocking progress, and increase the resources needed to make changes to clear the path to you embodying the woman you want to be. It is my belief that we all have a divine purpose in this life and that in living up to this purpose, in fulfilling our potential, we are capable of living a life of joy and love beyond our imagination that inspires and impacts others in beautiful ways.

The irony is that we attempt to disown our difficult stories to appear more whole, but our wholeness, even our wholeheartedness, actually depends on the integration of all of our experiences.

Education

I love learning and am an avid pursuer of knowledge of all kinds and am continually reading, going to conferences, and advancing my knowledge to stay up to date on the latest research and on the leading edge of holistic wellness approaches. I invest in expanding my knowledge and skills so that I can be the best coach I can be.

​

Equally important, I believe the person is as important as the degrees and education and invest in my own personal development on an ongoing basis as well. I have been where you are- seeking support when I was overwhelmed or unable to see the truth through the clouds of my habitual ways of being. Truly, it is in doing our own work and in being "in the arena" that we develop deeper compassion for the courage it takes to do the deep transformative work of personal growth. I have been blessed by so many compassionate and wise souls that have walked with me (and continue to do so) on my journey. However, through this process I also discovered there are often less than helpful, sometimes harmful practices out there. Above all I believe in doing no harm and if I feel that I am not a good fit as a practitioner for you, I will let you know and help you find someone who is.
 
Doing this work is a gift and I am honored you are considering inviting me to walk alongside of you on your journey.
