Bookings
Manual Osteopathy is a gentle non-invasive treatment mainly involving soft tissue therapy, joint mobilization and muscle energy techniques. Manual Osteopathy can be used to release restricted ligaments, fascial adhesions. and reduce painful muscle contractions bringing more structural alignment. I may also work with cranial bones and visceral manipulation.
It is not within my scope to diagnose or treat specific illnesses, only to use the many tools of Manual Osteopathy to reduce tension, increase circulation and invite homeostasis. You can think of me as your body mechanic helping you to restore balance. Our goal is to increase function in the areas of concern and begin to understand the large patterns at play.
Please wear thin comfortable clothing that can expose issue areas as needed.
My Mission
Empowered Embodiment! I am inspired to facilitate freedom of movement and stillness, so we may balance the demands and desires of life, pain- free.
My Values
When you direct attention, curiosity and compassion toward yourself, you can be comfortable in your skin and show up for yourself.

I have had a very positive experience with Tara!
After several years of pain and extreme stiffness in one hip, Tara has increased my mobility and reduced my pain. She has done what physio and exercises could not do.
