About Tara
I provide specialized yoga classes and childbirth support that draws on my intuitive approach to support each client's unique journey. I design my classes based on life experiences, specific goals for progression, and how you feel both on and off the mat.
My hands-on approach to birth support includes both education, spiritual practices, and nervous system support because of my own traumatic experience with birth.
I believe that yoga, both directly and indirectly, can support us through various life changes, including those related to pregnancy, parenting, and aging.
CALM & CONFIDENT BIRTH DOULA SUPPORT
I specialize in supporting women and couples who want a calm, confident, and as-natural-as-possible birth, but who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.
Whether you’re preparing for your first baby, hoping for a VBAC after a previous C-section, or wanting to heal from a difficult birth experience, you deserve support that helps you feel informed, steady, and truly cared for.
"I am forever grateful that Tara was a part of our birth experience. She guided me through the pain and the entire birth experience with so much confidence and grace. My husband and I have talked about the experience countless times, and both of us agree that Tara played a major role in the beautiful birth experience I had. I will forever be grateful to have had her by my side during our daughter’s birth. She will always hold a special place in one of our family's greatest life events. I can’t recommend her enough."

"I joined Tara's yoga for men class in October. If you sit behind a desk for 30 plus years things start to seize up. I was definitely not flexible and a bit apprehensive about joining yoga. Tara is welcoming and supportive, and it's a great environment for beginners. I still got a long ways to go but I feel encouraged with the results and I will definitely be signing up for my third set of sessions in March. Nameste."

Kind Words From My Clients:
‹
"We had a calm, safe, and empowering birth experience thanks largely to Tara"
-Robyn & Gary (Doula clients)
"Tara was always a step ahead in preparing us for what's coming next. Even when my birth changed to a c-section, I chose to have Tara meet us in recovery, and she was able to help us with breastfeeding and making sure I was comfortable! "
-First time parents (doula clients)
"Amazing instructor. Class is well structured, fun, and I always look forward to Thursday nights. Has helped my flexibility greatly."

"Tara is such a sweet and gentle soul and was the perfect support that my husband I were looking for. She provided us with lots of valuable information and helped us feel confident and informed when it came to the pregnancy and the birth."
-Sam F. (doula client)
"Tara is very supportive and offers different options for poses to match your skill level. If you want to try yoga in a no judgement environment this is the perfect place. All the excuses why you can't start are probably the reasons you should start. The men's class is great, we all struggle to find the moves but Tara has lots of patience, and we have a few laughs"
