I wanted to write about what an incredible and intuitive practitioner Tara is. I have seen Tara for treatment on both my TMJ and my neck due to whiplash. In only a few visits she has corrected my bite, relieved my headaches, and reduced the tension on my neck. I am so impressed with Tara's skills and refer her as both a patient and as a Dental Hygienist who works with many people with oral facial issues. Tara is an amazing woman with a warm smile, and an impressive bio. She greatly understands the human body and genuinely offers healing on many levels. Thank you Tara!
-Kathleen Mitchell
Tara is the most intuitive massage therapist I have ever had the privilege of working with. After spending thousands of dollars on a dental orthotic that didn't help my TMJD, I wanted to try a different approach and found Tara. I no longer wake up with headaches every morning and have found so much peace and relief through working with her.
-Danielle Street
Tara is a miracle worker and anyone that is fortunate enough to be given her name should race to book a coveted spot.
She is extraordinarily knowledgeable, understands how the body works and importantly, how it heals. She is powerfully gentle , finds every painful spot, and provides such relief that with every visit I leave more and more convinced that I will heal and not have to live with chronic pain anymore.
She is incredible!
-Lisa Nelson
I've been working with Tara for the last two months. She's played a significant role in my healing process. For over a decade I've suffered from pelvic pain, along with neck/shoulder issues. With Tara's help and wide depth of knowledge, I've been able to eliminate a lot of this pain. I highly recommend her services, you'll be heard, supported, and cared for!!
-Jessica Schuller
Finding Tara has been one of the best things to happen to my self care routine. I've suffered for quite sometime with chronic jaw, neck and head pain. Everytime I leave a session I feel like a whole new person. She has educated me on why I have pain where I do and how we can treat it appropriately. She has magic hands and a wealth of knowledge!
-Jenny Babb
Wonderful and thoughtful practitioner for jaw pain and tightness.
-Alina Black
My experience with Tara has been wonderful! I am a younger women with bad TMJ issues. Before listening to other providers and going along with botox, I decided to give the natural approach a try and I am so glad I did. Her technique is amazing! She goes beyond the hour session, and I feel like other aspects of my life are improving, or getting attention I didn't think needed. I look forward to my hour with her! My jaw issues are getting so much better, I even forget to wear my night guard sometimes. I 100% recommend going to see this lovely woman!

I highly recommend Tara! She is very skilled at addressing jaw and neck tightness. I feel so much better after each visit!
-Dr. Jennifer Watson
My friend recommended Tara to help with my headaches. Since going there I have not had a headache. Prior to going I was getting at least 2 headaches a month. The first time I want I actually had a headache. I left her office free of a headache which would have normally left me in bed all day. I have since recommended her to many of my friends.
-Angela Fisher
Tara has a beautiful work space that is calming, soothing and healing. I’m grateful to have found her! She helped my neck and jaw move into a more relaxed state and offered realistic solutions for at home care to maintain it. I highly recommend Tara!! 🧡
-Dustina Daniels
So happy I found Tara! I had a bad flare up for my TMJ and even had some swelling on the side of my face so I really needed some relief. Tara is incredibly knowledgeable about the anatomy of all the muscles in the face and how they connect to the rest of the body so even just in our first session alone, she was able to treat stored tension that I’ve probably had for years. She also focused on my neck which is an area I’ve normalized that tension for decades and the way she’s started to treat that area too has been life changing. Tara is a true healer! Thank you for all that you do!
-Cristina Sosa
Tara really knows what she's doing. My neck and shoulders were injured in a car accident just before the pandemic shut down the world [stopping my treatment/rehabilitation in its tracks]. Years later, Tara is now skillfully helping me soothe/shift/heal my injuries "frozen in time." Her approach is targeted and direct and it's clear that she's got an expert understanding of the human body. After only a few sessions, I'm starting to see improvement and more mobility than I've had in years. If you need a massage therapist you can trust - go see Tara.
-Jamie Phillips
I went in to see Tara for TMJ body work after struggling with chronic pain caused by severe tension and clenching for a better part of a year. After my first session it was the best I had felt in over a year. As a mom of 2 littles this body work has been life changing for me! Being able to feel well and have the energy to love my kiddos with all that I have is the greatest gift. So thankful for Tara!
-Noelle Koski
I found Tara through these reviews, looking for support with my TMJ and tight upper neck/jaw/head - she has done fantastic work with me, and over a period of a few months, I can feel a real difference. During our time, she has been able to help me identify other areas to focus on, and her gentle, kind approach is warm and welcoming. I'd highly recommend working with her!
-Jordan O'Brien
Tara is the TMJ QUEEN! I have had this jaw tightness for a while and of everything I have tried my sessions with Tara have given me the most lasting pain relief. When I first came to Tara my jaw was locking sporadically. At its worst, opening wide enough for a small bite of food was challenging which is when I reached out to Tara.
I left our first session with my jaw feeling WAY better and my symptoms have only decreased since then - my chiropractor has even mentioned that my jaw is tracking better. I really feel like we are getting to the root of my dysfunctions and undoing them.
It took me a few tries before I found someone who could address my TMJ issues like Tara has and I’m so happy to have found her! I love everything about her approach - the pressure, the technique, the intuitiveness. She really understands the body. If you are struggling with TMJ pain I highly recommend booking a session with Tara!
-Rachel Knighton
I experience jaw, neck, and head pain from a high-stress job, and Tara’s massages have been the only ones that have ever touched it in a meaningful way and given me lasting relief. I am also pregnant, and her massage for my SI joint, hips, and back have helped me be pain-free. I so look forward to my time with her and I’ve never had such an effective massage therapist and healer. She’s really amazing! Give yourself this gift!
-Sara McClure
I can't recommend Tara highly enough! After of struggling with TMJ, her expert touch and deep understanding has brought me incredible relief. She has a personalized and compassionate approach by educating me about my symptoms motivating me to adjust my daily habits.
Thank you Tara!! :)
-Antionette Reyna
Tara has been working on my jaw and neck from where I constantly clench and hold all of my tension. I have tried mouth guards, massage, and chiropractor work with poor results but she has managed to release the tension so I don’t have constant jaw pain. I would highly recommend her treatment for your pain.
-Melaine Kelly
Tara is an incredibly gifted massage therapist. She is a perfect balance of equal parts knowledge and compassion. She is non-judgmental and a fantastic listener, and seems sincerely invested in my healing and well being. As a person with hyper mobility issues and a twice reconstructed shoulder, I have worked with numerous health care practitioners over the years and have rarely met anyone in the medical field with her breadth of technique knowledge, strong interpersonal communication skills and empathy. I have seen significant improvements in my mobility and an incredible decrease in my pain level since seeing her for massages. She has also worked on my young son and helped him significantly with neck tension issues. She is professional, her office is very comfortable and clean, and each time I see her I leave feeling calm, centered and grateful to have her as a partner in my healing.
-Hillary Jones Dames
I started seeing Tara over a year ago for TMJ massages and can't recommend her enough. I did a series of massages at first to get in a good place with my jaw tension and now go back for regular tune-ups. She also provides tips to manage the tension at home in between sessions. Her technique is wonderful and she provides a relaxing, welcoming environment.
-MaryJane Manesfeild
Was really impressed with Tara and her knowledge. Originally scheduled the appointment for jaw pain and after one session, felt immediate relief. I've continued to see Tara and have been pain free for over two months.
-Megan Forell
Tara Lee is magic! I’ve been working with her for a few months now and I am so excited about how much of a difference her care has made for me. I’ve been looking for over a year for a provider who would really address my TMJ and neck pain / tension and she’s exactly what I’ve been hoping for. She is confident, inspiring, and very good at what she does. I’ve been pain free from TMJ for the first time in over a year because of her therapy. I’m an on-call midwife and a mom to two young kids and I hold a lot of tension in my jaw and neck and it’s been such a relief to work with a therapist who consistently knows how to help me feel better. I highly recommend her care for any and all women who experience TMJ, are living with pain in their neck or jaw, or really anywhere in their body. I’ve already referred my business partner to her and we’re both so relieved to be in her care. If you’re considering scheduling with her, do it! You won’t find a better body worker!
-Charli Zarosinski
Tara is kind, intuitive, and effective. Tara’s experience and strength are exactly what I have been searching for and it is easy to relax in her new beautiful space. I am grateful for her!
-Sara Pope
I was having jaw issues and have always struggled with headaches. I was doing some research about massage and other ways to help the issues without medication. I came across Tara and booked with her immediately for an intraoral massage.
I have seen her multiple times now and have seen amazing improvements. I have told everyone to try this style of massage and to book with Tara.
Truly life changing!!
-Meagan Bowers
Tara is truly amazing! I had pretty severe jaw pain for quite some time and after only 2 visits the pain was gone and I could close my mouth again. She has started working on my shoulder that has been bothering me for years and again after only 2 visits the amount of improvement is absolutely incredible. I have tried many different natural modalities to work on this and nothing has touched it until now. Thank you Tara!!
-Melissa Gray
Tara was welcoming, kind, and helpful in explaining how she was going to help with my TMJ pain. I appreciated her checking in with me throughout the massage, to ensure the pressure was to my liking. The massage was the “hurt so good” experience I was hoping for; enough pressure to make a difference and provide some relief. In the days after my massage, my jaw has felt relaxed and stretched. I plan to return to Tara semi-regularly!
-Erin Ruthe
Tara is a true healer! She has greatly helped relieve my chronic headaches. Highly recommend!
-Alison Sachet
Tara is intuitive, gentle, and most importantly, very effective. My issue is (was) TMJ pain but she does other treatments; I highly recommend her!
-Mary Gregorie
Living with vertigo is very difficult. I found Tara and after one treatment my vertigo and headaches were improved. I’ve seen her 3x and so grateful for her knowledge and experience.
She is great!
-Kathy T
Tara is great to work with! She has done so much for my TMJ and jaw pain! I would recommend her over and over again.
-Ryan Cook
I had a wonderful TMJ massage experience! Tara was informative and put me at ease, guiding through the process. She was warm and sensitive to what felt comfortable for me. I was able to feel significant relief from just one session… the jaw, neck, and spine.I Look forward to more work!
-Erin Fagan
Working with Tara for pelvic floor therapy has been a really positive experience. I actually worked with other pelvic floor therapists in the past and have never had the success, care, candor or patience that Tara offers. Not only that but she does all kinds of body work to help heal. I really appreciated some of the visual techniques she used to work through the process. I've had seven sessions and signed up for a few more for continued progress and plan to see her occasionally for body work after. The space is lovely and given the nature of pelvic floor therapy work she is always good at making me feel as comfortable and safe as possible. Highly recommend!
-Kate Willie
Tara's work on the jaw for my chronic TMJ has been such a wonderful component of my healing that I'm so grateful for. She really takes time to get to know you and how to help you, and is extremely calming to be around. I'll continue seeing her as no other bodywork has come even remotely close to the healing she provides. Thank you!
-Rose Grace
I can’t say enough good things about Tara, she is amazing at what she does. I had seen on several different occasions, after a car accident, sciatic nerve pain and general neck/shoulder issues and every time the relief I felt was incredible! I have had plenty of massages elsewhere, but none quite got to the source like she does. I wish I lived closer so I could continue to be treated by her. So yes, I highly recommend her!!!
-Jenny Bailey
Tara is a true healer and with her, I have made much progress with my TMJ. She is very skilled, intuitive and compassionate. I highly recommend!
-Emily Evertte
Tara is amazing for TMJ work - she's a true healer and gets into all the right spots in the jaw, neck, and shoulders. And she makes you feel super safe and calm and cared for. I'll definitely be going to her for a while!!
-Mihal Freinquel
Tara has helped me so much with learning how to relax and decrease tension and pain in my jaw. She is kind and patient. She makes me feel listened to and that she truly wants to help me feel better.
-Sherri Jaster
I have been seeing Tara for a couple months now for a long term chronic pelvic pain issue. A friend recommended I check her out and I’m so glad that I did! As I’ve had the issue for nearly 20 years, I was not expecting overnight miracles, but I can absolutely say that I feel optimism for the first time in a long time. With her knowledgeable guidance I believe I am on the right track to helping my body.
-Whitney Staples
This is serious quality physical medicine, not 'just' a massage (nothing against typical massage) but this was way better, different, and innovative than any other body work I've had done. Tara directed me on how to engage with the work as it progressed, with guidance on breathing, mental focus, etc. You know how one problem with 'modern medicine' is that the physical body and symptoms are regarded as something that can be 'dealt with' separately? This was the opposite, treating the body as integrated with the mind and thoughts, breath, etc. Super good. If we ever have Universal Health Care in America, and we all got to have this kind of physical medicine regularly, we'd have way less problems in society overall!
-Toast Tajiri
Tara is absolutely fabulous. I have severe neck issues and I look forward to seeing her every time. She’s very professional. The setting is clean, peaceful, and so relaxing. She has the magic touch that takes the pain away. Definitely recommend!!
-Rachel Palmer
Tara's ability to connect with an individual is immediate and honest, I instantly was calmed and peaceful allowing her to go to work as she is so well-trained to do. Giving space for someone to explore and work out the innate "kinks" in our body is not always an easy thing to do... I found myself settling into a fully relaxed state from the moment she began, allowing her to release the many aches and pains I had been unknowingly storing up and holding onto. Simply put, she is magical.

-Molly Moore
My doctor referred me to Tara for pelvic floor therapy. Now I knew this was going to be powerful work but it was even more profound than I anticipated. I have a history of childhood sexual trauma and abuse and I knew that taking this on was going to be beyond any kind of therapeutic method I had tried before. Tara made me feel incredibly safe. It was so easy to trust her from the start (not usual for me). Her space is also so inviting. What I especially love is how she meets you where you're at. She's not pushing you to go beyond yet she definitely facilitates what she can sense you're ready for. I released so much grief and anger in this first session. I'm excited for the continued work as I'll be booking the 6 sessions with Tara. Tara holds such Sacred Space for your full healing. I'd call her a "healer for healers." I'm grateful to have finally found this work and wish I had found it sooner!
-Siena L.
This was my first time with Tara and jaw work. I felt so welcomed and comfortable with her preparation for what to expect. I always appreciate practitioners who not only do the work, but are teachers of their work, sharing the effects on the body and mind. I also love the way her passion shined through and what she does, and believes/knows that her work makes a difference. I could see how the tightness in my jaw also translates into my life and my desire to create more space. If you’re looking for a holistic experience, and needing relief, I highly recommend Tara.
-Leanna Meier
I came to Tara about 10 years ago after I developed a painful twitch in my jaw. It had been happening for about 6 months and was effecting me daily. After 1 jaw session with her not only did the twitch and pain stop, but it never came back! Now I see her for pelvic floor work, (which I didn't even know that was a thing) and it has completely changed my life. I was in constant pain and didn't even realize it.
Along with muscle work, she showed me breathing and visualization techniques that I now use when I get menstrual cramps. She has taught me more about my body than anyone and I can't thank her enough for the incredible work that she has done for me.
She truly has changed my life for the better.
-DB
I cannot say enough positive about Tara.
She was able to help me with bladder issues resulting from surgery that no other therapist could. She is kind and sensitive and has intuition and knowledge to approach issues that are amazing and so helpful. I feel so fortunate to have found her and will continue to have her on my team!
-Carolyn Kopca
To say Tara changed my life, would be an understatement. I came to her after struggling with health conditions (a tight jaw, a tight neck, and chronic pain) for years. I was also working through trauma and anxiety that had taken hold of my musculoskeletal system. She is truly a healer. I mean that, she understands the anatomy and physiology of a women's body and is able to provide massage, stretching, and maneuvers that helped me start to get better. Once my muscles began relaxing, I noticed positive changes in my mental health. I can not recommend her enough! Do no hesitate to book a session with her today!
-Ariel Hawks-Feldman
Tara is an amazingly intuitive therapist and has done some really great work on me. I came to her with a very stiff neck, issues with TMJ and shoulder pain and mobility problems. Her deep tissue and very targeted work have been a great help. I love that she specializes in issues that commonly afflict females. Highly recommend Tara!
-Jean Marshburn
Tara was incredibly welcoming and her work on my neck and jaw was amazing! She was able to find the problem areas right away and release them. Absolutely recommend and plan on returning😊
-Dr. Raleigh Sekulic
Tara provides amazing bodywork. I choose the word bodywork versus massage because the focus of my sessions from Tara for my chronic neck, jaw, and shoulder pain were not about relaxation or pampering but rather, were for treatment or therapy...they were for healing. Tara hands down is the best bodywork specialist I've ever had and I wish desperately that she still worked in Bend.
-Cari Press
Tara's work is fantastic! I've had serious neck spasms for years and she relieved the pain better than any other therapy. Highly recommended!
-Leslie Bloom
In 60 minutes Tara recognized my body’s stress pattern and was working on all the tension areas without me describing anything ahead of time! I get weekly wellness chiropractic adjustments that help me manage stress in life. Tara showed me that her focused massage therapy is a great addition to caring for my body because it can help unlock those stress patterns that keep the same symptoms returning. Go to her if you want longer-lasting relief rather than just relaxation. She talked me through areas that she expected to be more sensitive like my jaw area and afterward my body didn’t want to clench down any longer! She walked me through breath focus while she found the areas that trigger tension headaches. She recognized my entire left side has a tension pattern and she gave recommendations for me to help my body at home too! Very impressed with my results from her expertise!
- Dr. McCartney Goff
My MD referred me to Tara after she was able to avoid shoulder surgery using Tara's services. Tara is a truly gifted manual therapist and masseuse. Her knowledge and ability are phenomenal, she is the best massage therapist I have ever been to. She doesn't treat just the tissue, she treats the whole person. I always leave sessions with Tara feeling that everything will be alright and feeling right in my being.
- Kate Chamberlin LPN
What I liked the most about my treatment from Tara is that she not only listened to me but also listened to my body. She adeptly honed in on the tissues that needed support and followed the lead my muscles gave her. She didn't "strong arm" them into submission, yet was very effective in her work. Her ability to read and respect what my body needed at that time gave me with a lot of confidence and comfort, and, of course, I left feeling very relaxed and pain free! Thank you, Tara!
- Dr. Jessica Evans Naturopathic Doctor
Tara is incredibly talented & so good at what she does. I am so grateful I found her! On my first visit with Tara as soon as I walked through the door she was able to tell me just by looking at me what it took an x-ray to show. That I had a loss of cervical curvature. She worked specifically with different techniques for my neck and jaw and I had immediate relief. She is working with me to help restore my curvature and helping me restore my upper body back to health. She is a miracle worker and so kind!
- Melissa Babasin
Tara is amazing! Not only did she get me on the same day when I was in desperate need of help for my jaw (pain due to clenching), but I have seen her every week (for about 5 weeks) since to maintain being pain-free and without symptoms -- literally no pain since our first session! She is not only lovely and very personable, but she knows what she is doing!! I am so relieved and thankful to have found her...Thanks Tara!
- Adrienne Bush LPC
I recommend Tara to any woman who desires lasting results from their bodywork sessions. As a licensed physical therapist with a specialty in women's pelvic health and as a woman who experienced her own healing journey with pelvic pain, I ONLY choose to work with practitioners who I sense and feel have the heart and soul desire to help plus, the technical skills! Tara truly has both. I feel very cared for in my sessions as she tends to a variety of the senses with essential oils, a warming heat pack on my belly, and reminds me to focus on my breath and go inward for guidance- all while she is working her magic on my neck, jaw, and back. We are starting with focused work on my neck, jaw, and upper body area however, I intend to continue working with her long-term (every other week) to work our way down to the diaphragm, belly, and pelvic bowl. I can tell she intuitively senses which parts of my body are calling for her to address that day and at the moment. I feel very grateful to have found Tara locally! I highly recommend her to any woman who needs healing at the root cause level. She will help remove the layers of imbalance and restore your innate well-being.
- Kelly Bradly PT
Tara is pure magic! I'm so grateful that I found her. She can navigate and find any tensions that you might have without you even telling her what's wrong. Every time I've left a session, I feel amazing. I highly recommend booking her!
- Lauren Guzman
I have had many therapeutic massages from different providers and Tara is hands down THE BEST at bodywork. She really listens to me when I tell her about my body pain, but most importantly she intuitively just knows what needs to be done. I suffered from severe lower back pain a few years ago and she helped me get back to 100% quickly and with no medication. I can't recommend her enough and I'm excited to have her help me with some complicated digestive issues that no one has been able to solve.
- Dana Hamilton
Tara is the real deal. I have had many many massages in my day, and Tara knows the body and what areas to focus on like very few. I have a chronic neck injury and am very particular about who touches my neck. After one session with her, I felt amazing. Her specialized care, especially for women, is filling a need here in the community. We are lucky to have her so close.
- Tania James
There are massage therapists and there are massage therapists like Tara. Tara is in a special class of bodyworkers who have a special healing touch, an intuitive sense of what each client's body needs, and the most gentle soul. I can't recommend her healing hands enough to anyone experiencing injury or chronic pain. She will listen to your story with energy and compassion and will be with you on your healing journey.
- Rebecca Falls
Tara had a level of expertise that I have never experienced before. She specializes in several areas of the body, and my session focused specifically on neck and jaw tension. I walked away from my appointment feeling not only relaxed but also that she had made long-term improvements in my chronic muscle tension. I had lasting benefits from just one session and I look forward to using her services again in the future. Highly recommend!
- Rachel Hendricks
Tara was so great, she helped me feel so relaxed and comfortable with the treatment. She was extremely knowledgeable about the pelvic floor and how to creating healing. I would highly recommend her for women seeking guidance and healing around pelvic issues. - Wah Khalsa
Tara's expertise and healing hands has been a life-changing experience. I am happily in awe of how my body has responded. In the past, after bodywork, chiropractic care, or massages I was very sore for days and couldn't do much. Sometimes after neck work, I wouldn't be able to turn my head for up to 4 days or drive, but Tara has such a special touch and way with the neck, I do not lose mobility at all post-treatments! I gain mobility and am able to move in ways I haven't been able to for many years. Even after years of physical therapy & chiropractic care. After my appointments with Tara, I woke up feeling great in the days following. I am 32 and thought I was destined to live in pain forever. I felt hope after one appointment. And after having a few more appointments I now know I am healing so much. Not only does she heal your body physically Tara also helps the body to heal socially/emotionally & spiritually. I'm so thankful to feel pain-free after many years! Each and every day has been better since I made the choice to work with Tara! Highly recommended!
- Hannah E
For years I've been looking for a massage therapist that focuses on the jaw and neck muscles. I've had chronic pain for 5+ years, with TMJ issues and daily morning headaches. I was so excited to come across Tara's site, that specifically mentions head/neck/jaw has been her specialty for many years.
After seeing her, I can say that her work is exactly what I was looking for! She is very professional, listens to the body, doesn't force, but has enough deep pressure to feel serious release! The space is inviting and she uses essential oils to heighten the overall experience of relaxation and healing.
She'll be my go to massage therapist for all shoulder-up issues! Thanks Tara. See you soon!
- Dr. Haylee Nye
Tara's knowledge of myofacial release is top. She released stress in my neck and head I did not even realize was there. Highly recommend!
- Debi Panning
I have been getting massage for years to hold off headaches, but I feel like I am finally getting deep into the areas of need & truly hoping for extended relief! Tara is not only skilled at her art, but also professional, communicative, caring.
- Christy Shaver
Tara is a warm and caring practitioner. She is working on my neck and jaw after many years of TMJ problems. My husband always comments on how relaxed my face looks after a session. I highly recommend her for effective TMJ treatment and pain relief.
- Barbara Murray
After a year of chronic headaches and jaw pain, I finally found the solution with TMJ treatment with Tara. The specific way she’s massaged my jaw and neck has been life changing. She has such a gentle and sweet demeanor and effective treatment, I have recommended her to everyone I know that is in need of this or for the other types of massage she offers.

I had a wonderful TMJ massage experience! Tara was informative and put me at ease, guiding through the process. She was warm and sensitive to what felt comfortable for me. I was able to feel significant relief from just one session… the jaw, neck, and spine.I Look forward to more work!
- Erin Fagan
Tara Lee Clasen is brilliant at what she does! Getting a massage from her is eye opening and so beautifully therapeutic. Stress is ever present in my life and my body. Just taking the time to visit and experience how healing her practice is totally worth it! I am for sure going to continue my life long journey with Tara helping all the way.
- Liz Hayden
I highly recommend the skilled and intuitive physical healing work of Tara Lee Clasen. She has quickly identified and addressed the imbalances in my body. In working with her I've experienced immediate pain relief of issues that have affected me for years! I feel blessed to have found her, as I've tried numerous other healing modalities, without results.
- Belladonna Sanctuary
Highly recommended getting a massage from Tara. I regularly receive massages but this was on a whole other level and was an incredible healing experience. Tara is able to pinpoint the areas that need treatment and make a noticeable difference even within your first session!
- Britt Mara
I have had the pleasure of seeing Tara over the past couple of months. Tara was extremely thorough and took the time to explain each step of the process. She listened attentively to my concerns and tailored the massage to address my specific needs. I appreciated her professionalism and expertise and could tell she truly cared about helping me find relief from my TMJ pain. After each massage, I felt significantly less tension in my jaw and had a noticeable decrease in my TMJ-related headaches. I also slept much more soundly at night, which was a welcome change from the usual discomfort I experience. Overall, I highly recommend Tara for anyone seeking relief from TMJ or other muscle tension related issues. She is truly skilled at what she does and provides a welcoming and relaxing environment for her clients. I will definitely be returning in the future for more treatments.

-Cari Press
Tara is an amazing intuitive healer. She is able to tap into the source of her patients ailments and treat the core from the inside out. The result is that the healing is complete as she is not merely treating the symptoms that are presented. Tara identifies the root of the problem and engages the patient to participate in their own recovery. Over the years Tara has increased her knowledge and understanding of the human body and its optimal performance. She is a proficient Massage Therapist, also specializing in Ayurvedic treatments. Recently she has been specializing in Pelvic Floor manipulation. No matter where Tara puts her healing energy I am certain that she is the best in her field. She truly cares and connects with her patients in every way possible. If you have the opportunity go see Tara. You will be amazed at how through and holistic your treatment is and how positively your body will respond to her work.

Tara is an amazingly intuitive therapist and has done some really great work on me. I came to her with a very stiff neck, issues with TMJ and shoulder pain and mobility problems. Her deep tissue and very targeted work have been a great help. I love that she specializes in issues that commonly afflict females. Highly recommend Tara!
-Jean Marshburn
I'm grateful to have found Tara, who is intuitive and compassionate when treating my chronic TMJ and neck issues. She is a true holistic healer and her manual therapy has been very effective. She has also helped me calm my anxious mind by helping me breathe deeply when we're in session. I leave her office feeling lighter in my jaw and neck, but also calmer in my mind. I feel so grateful to have found Tara and can't recommend her more highly to other women looking to address their jaw, neck and pelvic issues.

Tara truly is the best massage therapist I've ever seen. Her focus on neck and shoulders has helped to improve my tension and vestibular issues. Tara's ability to target the areas of the neck and shoulders has resulted in significant improvements.

I experience chronic migraines and have tried various approaches for relief (acupuncture, massage, supplements, elimination diet, working with a naturopath and neurologist) and thought I'd see if working with Tara could help me find relief. Even during our initial interactions, I found myself feeling hopeful for the first time in a long time. Tara is warm, nurturing, and incredibly grounding. After my first visit, I was migraine free for a longer time than I had been in years. We are working on my pelvic floor, neck and jaw....helping my mind, body and spirit all find relief. Tara helps me feel comfortable and attends to my trauma history in empowering ways. As a psychologist myself who has done years of my own therapy, I appreciated her attentiveness, intuitive wisdom, ability to listen to me (both my words and my body) and attune to what I needed. Her voice, touch, emotional attunement and knowledge all bring me comfort, peaceful energy and open up by body to benefit from her manual therapy. Tara was quickly able to note structural aspects to my neck that were likely contributing to my migraines and has connected me with other providers to address various other aspects to my health that will support relief. Even after the first appointment, I thought if she did the exact same thing each time...I would feel amazing. Yet, each visit feels different and more beneficial as she attends to what my body is needing that specific time. My jaw is relaxing and I am even beginning to notice benefits to my facial structure, feeling more beautiful and like myself. Tara has been such a gift to me and I genuinely look forward to our time together. Her therapy is both energizing and relaxing. I feel like I am finally headed toward a journey of healing and plan to continue seeing Tara for as long as I can. We have identified both short and long-term goals and I am incredibly grateful to have already experienced relief and look forward to continuing to heal and learn from Tara. My body, nervous system and soul are feeling restored.

I found Tara online when I was looking for someone that focused mainly on the jaw. My work environment and overall stress levels are fairly high, and have always carried stress/tension in my jaw, neck and shoulders. Over the years, this created a lot of discomfort and growing limited mobility. In the first session, Tara was able to bring relaxation and relief into my jaw that I didn’t know was possible, and really took a holistic approach when coming up with a plan. Her energy is calm and inviting, I genuinely feel that this is Tara’s true passion! I’ve been to a few sessions now and plan to continue to see Tara on a regular basis. Don’t hesitate!!!
