ABOUT

Our Healing Life was born out of deep and repetitive suffering, gut-wrenching but authentic growth, and ultimate healing. We are all scarred in some way by our traumatic childhoods, painful relationships, or other environmental impacts that have left wounds on our souls. 

I have walked a rocky path and found healing and peace I never thought possible. Like everyone, I still have moments of suffering, of course, but part of living my values means sharing what I’ve learned (and am continuing to learn) along the way. 

One of the things I have found most valuable is community. I’ve learned that life may not be about the things traditional society promotes, so I created a community for like-minded, kind, open-hearted people of all backgrounds looking for authenticity, support, and healing.

MEET TARA

Tara Rio
Personal & Professional Coach

As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in training and a former 20+ year corporate veteran with complex trauma resulting from childhood abuse, I offer a safe environment for healing. Through Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and Mindfulness, I assist clients in uncovering and unburdening themselves from relational and developmental trauma, generational burdens, and rewriting society’s expectations to find authentic peace. 

My work focuses on creating a deeper sense of inner harmony to enable purposeful living. Together, we’ll work on strengthening your relationships, setting healthy boundaries, speaking your truth, and integrating all parts of you.

Whatever your unique journey, I am here to guide you with compassion, care, and a holistic approach that honors your whole being. I respect and support my diverse community!

What to Expect from a Private Session with Tara Rio

Tara’s Online Somatic Support Sessions (via Teams/Zoom) are available to you in your home/office.

Each session is uniquely tailored to what is present as well as the interests and needs of the client, and often moves fluidly between talking and doing body-centered techniques depending on what is appropriate for your situation.

Working together in this way can be just as powerful and engaging as sitting together in person, and in many cases, a more effective way to connect. Given the advantage of meeting from the familiarity and safety your own home, you may find that working together in this way can enable you to open more fully to your truth and find better access to inner resources for healing and transformation.

The benefits of home-based sessions include:

  • An environment that feels safe, comfortable and private.

  • Access to your support resources like pets, view, yard, blankets, etc.

  • No commute or travel needed.
