Testimonials

"My mother suggested that I go and see Tara after she had a massage with her. I had been suffering, depressed, in pain, and miserable for about 4 years...I have suffered with Fibromyalgia now for about 10 years. Within 3 months my depression started to lift to a manageable level, my discomfort decreased also becoming manageable, and for the first time in years I began to have hope. The severe depression and pain that has plagued me for so long has not completely disappeared. Some days are better than others, yet each week I could count on the compassion and expert touch that soothed not only my knotted painful body, but my knotted and painful mind. For over 4 years I was working on healing using Reiki, deep tissue massage, massage cupping, therapeutic aromatherapy massage, and even hypnosis... however of all of these amazing tools, the clear and concise intuition that Tara naturally exhibits was by far the most powerful tool to lead us through the minefield of emotions and physical discomfort I have experienced. Now I have moved out of the area, but just wanted to say how thankful I am that I was able to spend time working with Tara... with all my hard work I got my life back."

"After I moved to Saint Cloud I hurt so badly. I called and called massage places in the area and no one ever returned my call. I tried one more time when I found Inner Balance Bodywork. To my delight Tara called me quickly and made an appointment for me to be seen. You see I have fallen many times in my life, the last time had me unable to walk easily, I had hoped massage therapy would work for me. I received massage therapy on a regular basis for many years in California, and was pleasantly surprised with the skill and compassionate touch that Tara's style exhibited. I found my discomfort decreased and my quality of life increasing as my pain seemed to disappear. I fell again and found that I needed to have a hip replacement. I received massage before and after my surgery to help with my healing. The doctors were impressed with how quickly I healed and so was I! My quality of life has improved since seeing Tara, and when I forget to make an appointment or I go on vacation I know it by the discomfort and decreased ability to move easily. I never knew how important receiving massage could be ~Barbara S. RN Saint Cloud, FL

"I was referred to Tara by another therapist before I moved to Florida from Vancouver Washington. By the time I made an appointment I was in a great deal of discomfort from the move. I was not disappointed with the therapy I received. I prefer deep tissue therapy and required weekly sessions for a month or two. Now I come every two weeks for maintenance. Tara has taught me a lot about my body. The intense pain between my shoulder blades does not stop me from doing my house chores any longer and I am pleasantly surprised each day when the pain does not reappear. The bonus from all of this is that I feel better and I move better AND Tara has taught me techniques for relaxation and educated me on the use of therapeutic grade essential oils which have been a Godsend in my life. I am so thankful that I learned about the oils because I share them with my family and we all feel so much better when we use them. Recently I decided that I wanted to try the therapeutic oil Raindrop Technique. I was impressed with how much better my legs moved, I was even able to run on the treadmill. I can't remember the last time I have ever done that!"

"Tara is one of the most talented intuitive healers and bodyworkers that I have ever worked with. She moves energy easily and works tirelessly to assist me with my healing and physical challenges. Thank you Tara!"

I have been a healthcare professional for 26 years and have seen many changes in the world of medicine. Several years ago I developed an interest in Alternative Medicine and learned there is much more to dis-ease than just the physical. I began reading everything I could find, and realized I could change my life. Having been depressed for many years, I started changing things in my life, and got to feeling better, but was still getting overwhelmed by the stress around me. It was at this point I decided I need Reiki, but did not know where to turn, who in St Cloud would even know what reiki is!! I "coincidentally" saw a ad for Inner Balance Body Work and met with the most compassionate person I know. Tara has worked with me on all levels-spiritual, emotional, and physical. She is very intuitive and has helped me so much. When I leave her office I feel so light, like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. I would highly recommend Tara for energy balancing, reiki, massage, hypnosis, and regression. She is wonderful.

I first heard of Reiki a few years ago. Since I've always been interested in energy healing it sounded like something I wanted to investigate.
Unfortunately the small town where I live had no one who practiced it and my being almost totally housebound for over 8 years from
agoraphobia, panic and anxiety attacks, and inability to be around other people for long periods precluded my going to a larger city.
But Reiki has a way of creating the ideal circumstances if you really want it. My daughter in Florida was due to give birth to her first child,
and my son in the Navy, stationed in Jacksonville was due back from Iraq, so I made the journey. I had planned to stay a month or so to help
my daughter and work my courage up to go through the airports again. During that time I had bought some Reiki books off the internet and I
decided to check again to see if anyone in town taught Reiki. To my surprise I found Inner Balance Bodywork and it was only 3 blocks away.
I went to their website and signed up for the newsletter but put off actually making an appointment. They had weekend classes teaching Reiki
and I wanted to sign up but the thought of spending 2 whole days with an unknown amount of people was more than I could handle.
I kept extending my stay and 3 times they had classes and I so wanted to join in but the very thought put me in a state of panic.
That 3 blocks might as well have been 3 states. Then about 3 months ago I got a newsletter and it said they would give individual classes,
I knew it was my chance. Mustering my courage, and it took a lot of mustering, I sent an email before I could lose my nerve.
When I first met Tara, she seemed like someone I could be around. She didn't seem to suck away my energy.
I took the 1st and 2nd Reiki attunements and during the session Tara also taught me some techniques to help me keep my
energy to myself and replenish it. Those techniques have been a godsend. I don't feel tired all the time or as scattered. My panic and anxiety
attacks have greatly decreased and it's not as draining for me to be around other people now. I still have my bad days, but using Reiki and the
energy techniques make getting through them so much easier. One other thing, I'd read you could use Reiki to help find things, so I used it to
help my son-in-law, who is somewhat memory challenged. He had lost his keys and it was going to cost $75 to get a new one made for his
car so I sent him some Reiki. A day or so later he found his wedding ring (which had been missing for 2 months) in the dryer.
Needless to say, laundry had been done more than once in that time span. Then about a week later (I guess Reiki thought he needed
to learn a lesson and ride with his wife) my daughter and I were going to the store and she saw something on the highway next to the median.
We circled around and it was my son-in-laws keys!! Talk about a needle in a haystack. Reiki and the energy
techniques Tara taught me have changed my life for the better and I can only see the future getting better.
