About Tara 

As long as I can remember, I have been a caregiver. My parents tell stories of how, as a child, I would climb onto my great-grandmother’s lap — despite her being nonverbal in the late stages of dementia — simply to sit with her and be present. That quiet instinct to nurture, to witness, and to hold space has shaped both my life and my work.

The birth of my daughter changed me in ways I never could have anticipated. It was a profound threshold — one that revealed just how vulnerable and exposed people can feel during major life transitions. That experience deepened my understanding of how essential it is to feel seen, supported, and held when life or identity is shifting.

My path into nursing and caregiving has unfolded slowly and with intention. Through years of clinical work, tending the land, learning from my ancestors, and studying with my mentor Susan Clearwater, RN, I’ve come to understand care as something that happens in moments — often quiet ones — when someone is standing at the edge of change and needs steady presence more than answers.

I am especially drawn to these threshold moments: times of illness, recovery, caregiving, aging, or uncertainty, when people may feel overwhelmed or unsure of what comes next. My work is shaped by listening deeply — to individuals, to families, and to the needs of my community — and by showing up with steadiness and respect.

In addition to being a Registered Nurse, I have studied herbal medicine, nutritional support, ancestral and spiritual healing, and collective trauma work, including over 50 hours of study with Thomas Hübl. These studies inform how I hold space, but presence and relationship remain at the center of my work.

At the heart of what I offer is simple: to walk beside people during important thresholds in their lives — with care, clarity, and compassion — and to help make those moments feel a little less lonely.
