Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy
Healing Through Mind-Body Connection
Welcome to a space where the belief in the profound interconnectedness of Body, Mind & Spirit leads the way.
It’s true, life's complexities can often obstruct our connection to ourselves, leading to inner turmoil and dis-ease. *AND * I believe that within each of us is an innate and ancient wisdom waiting to guide us back to wholeness when given the space to do so.
My therapeutic approach is not about quick fixes; it's about embarking on a journey of self-discovery and lasting transformation. One within which your voice is valued, and your experiences and wisdom are honored. Together, we will co-create a safe and supportive space (as allies!) where trust and mutual understanding thrive. Guided by curiosity and compassion, we will embark on a customized integrative path, shaped by your specific intentions. Utilizing a diverse toolkit of modalities we will dive deep into who you are in order identify and resolve barriers that inhibit your connection to self and your potential for a full and vibrant life.
This space is both a sanctuary for healing and a training ground for personal evolution. Within its sacred confines, you will be held in safety and compassion as you confront your shadows, tend to your wounds, and reclaim your sovereignty. This journey asks for your dedication, willingness and presence, and for you to open to a world within which you do not have to do it alone.
PILLARS OF ORIENTATION
Sanctuary of Safety
Sessions are designed to create a space where you feel safe and supported, empowering you to explore your true self and express your personal truths authentically.
Connection & Wholeness
The priority for our work together is building trust and connection. Through compassionate presence and attentive listening, you are empowered to reconnect with your body and rediscover a sense of wholeness.
Holistic Healing
Together, we weave mindfulness with sincerity. This approach recognizes the deep connection between your body, mind, and spirit, guiding you to explore sensations, emotions, and physical experiences.
Body Wisdom & Regulation
I believe in the inherent wisdom within your body and encourage you to attune to it as a source of insight and healing and in order to cultivate self-awareness and regulation. Together, we’ll explore these experiences to support your emotional stability and well-being.
Organic Growth & Non-Interference
My goal is to create a space where your healing process unfolds naturally, honoring your own pace without external pressures. With respect for the wisdom within your body, we will navigate your unique path with patience, gentleness, and self-acceptance.
Spiritual Evolution & Diversity
Honoring the spiritual aspects of healing and embracing the richness of your unique experiences is at the heart of this work. Together, we will explore and celebrate shifts in your consciousness and perspective, deepening your connection to yourself and the world around you.

Testimonial; In Their Own Words
Since working together I have more access to the somatic experiences that arrive alongside my feelings, thoughts, and internal and external disruptions to my days. Taren revealed ways I can honor my experiences while also not inviting them to overtake/overwhelm me. My experience with Taren has profoundly transformed my journey towards healing and self-integration, and I am deeply grateful for her compassionate and insightful guidance. — Anna S.
Ready to Build a Foundation for Lasting Change and Growth?
Healing Trauma, One Layer at a Time
My personal belief is that trauma happens in layers and must be healed in layers. So does getting to know someone and building a relationship that includes safety and trust. Taking our time and honoring your body’s inherent wisdom is key to the healing process. Because of this, I offer 3-month and 6-month containers to start your journey.
Why a Minimum of 3 Months?
Sustainability requires a solid foundation to move from. I ask for a minimum commitment of 3 months to give us the time to listen to and learn from your body. This allows us to slow down and focus on building the resources, resiliency and adaptability that you need for lasting change.
If you decide this work isn’t for you, we can absolutely discuss the details of how to proceed, though I’m happy to say this hasn’t happened yet! 😉
After 6 Months
Once you complete 6 months of work with me, you’ll have more flexible options. For example, you can purchase one session at a time instead of committing to another 3-month package. We can discuss these options when the time comes.
Ready to Begin?
If you have any questions or are ready to start your healing journey, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to support you.
Testimonial; In Their Own Words
Taren emits a pure magnetism that you can’t help but be drawn to. And if you are, my guess is it’s because there’s something there for you to discover together. The divine masculine and feminine energies are beautifully woven within her presence. She has an intuitive ability to know when to offer a more nurturing, protective presence and when to lovingly nudge you past your comfort zone - both harmoniously helping you to stretch a little more and step into a more expanded version of yourself. Taren’s gentle ferocity is both an inspiration and a mirror - guiding you back to yourself in a way that leaves you feeling empowered and supported. I can’t imagine anyone else I’d rather have in my corner as I navigate the ebbs and flows of life. — Christina
