I’ve been practising acupuncture for over 14 years, with a special interest in helping people get out of pain and back to the things they love.

My style is gentle, practical and easygoing. I want you to feel comfortable, understand what we’re doing, and feel relaxed during treatment. I pay close attention to how your body responds and adjust your treatment along the way.

Hi, I’m Tara.

You don’t always need needles where it hurts.

I use a gentle style of acupuncture that often treats points away from where you’re hurting.

One of the things I love about this approach is that the painful area is left free to move. Many of my patients notice their pain beginning to ease or their movement opening up soon after the needles are placed.

I’ll check your pain or movement while you’re still on the table. If something has changed, that response helps me decide what to do next and tailor the treatment as we go.

Gentle treatment. Changes you can feel.
