Tara, the founder of Ohm Wellness, started her yoga journey more than 13 years ago. At the time, she was a busy single mother of her three beautiful children. Her life came to a rapid halt when she found herself hospitalized requiring heart surgery. Quite a big shock! Life delivered her the experience that caused her to really pause and examine the path she was on, for her and her children. It was made quite clear to her that she needed to start to really take care of herself.

She had always wanted to try yoga, but had never found the time. Now was the time!

She found her local community yoga and simply committed to a weekly class. The benefits mentally were amazing. She continued just with a weekly class for years and then after a break when she had her fourth child with her husband, she finally returned and was ready for more.

Tara quickly made plans to get to at least 2 classes a week and gradually increased this to a daily practice. The simple yet profound mantra her teacher said ‘to truly heal, you need to feel’ really resonated with her.

These words really stuck and were the catalyst that lead to Tara’s continued yoga and meditation journey and then onto guiding others on their own path. She is extremely passionate about ones’ ability to take back their own personal power, by using these amazing tools she herself used to overcome her heart disease, depression, anxiety and extremely low energy, to be the person she is today.
