About Tara

Since 2015 I started working with alternative medicines, like many other herbalists before me, because I was struggling with my own health and wasn't getting much help from western medicine. As a woman, my cycles were imbalanced, I struggled with severe pain, discomfort with sex, frequent UTIs and infections, and complete confusion when my own doctor shrugged her shoulders and said "I think this is just the way things are going to be for you." Learning from my mother to take matters into my own hands, I began studying, researching, learning about my body. I discovered that by changing my diet I could put balance back into my cycle. I learned that certain herbs prevented constant urinary issues. I realized that my health generally improved when I lowered stress, took care of my body, and incorporated plants into my daily routine. I've discovered that my own medicine path has improved by merging East and West, medical and natural, traditional and modern. What began as a journey to help myself has now grown to help others. Through Tuatara, I hope to share an apothecary of plant magik that can improve someone's life. Don't ever think you have to settle for "this is just the way things are going to be." There is always room for growth!
