Services

Natural healing methods, applied precisely.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has a variety of natural healing methods that can help you resolve your health issues - (food as medicine, homeopathics, herbals, acupuncture, and cupping). These forms are ancient and have been used effectively — without harmful side effects — for thousands of years.

TCM Simplified

Knowledge applied

Chinese Medicine is the science and study of HOW the human body works and behind the USE of acupuncture.

Acupuncture is not a stand-alone modality (like dry-needling) and cannot be used without understanding the science behind Traditional Chinese Medicine.

My approach

One appointment, whichever tools the problem needs

Acupuncture, bio-medicine and coaching aren't billed as separate visits here. Tara draws on all of them in the same session, guided by what she finds resonating in your body that day.

Acupuncture

A safe, effective, chemical-free way to promote the body's self-healing abilities through the restoration of balance and blood flow. Used to treat the root of an issue, to prevent and treat disease, relieve pain, balance mood, increase fertility, enhance athletic performance, and improve overall health and wellness.

  • Sterile, single-use needles — always
  • Points selected for both root pattern and today's symptoms
  • Most patients report treatments are relaxing, not painful
  • 20 minutes of quiet rest with needles retained

Healing Touch

The massage techniques Tara uses are spot treatments only, designed to rehabilitate an injured area or muscle. Touch-based therapies like cupping and microcurrent therapy do more than treat symptoms — they restore flow, balance, and energetic alignment. For those navigating chronic illness, emotional stress, or post-operative recovery, touch becomes a bridge between body and mind.

Nutrition foods

Nutrition

Food as a medicine is the foundation of helping our body adjust and heal - simply and quickly. In today's world, there are many misconceptions regarding what is "healthy eating" and it's actually very individual.

  • Proteins act as the core building blocks for your muscles, skin, bones, organs, and hair.
  • Minerals like calcium and phosphorus build and maintain strong bones and teeth.
  • Amino acids from food heal wounds and generate new cells.

Health Coaching & Cellular Health

Our bodies have naturally occurring short amino-chain signals. These signals tell your body to "burn fat", "heal tissue", "produce hormones", or "reduce inflammation". These chains deplete as we age. Cellular medicine encourages the body to do what it's naturally designed to do - just more efficiently. Combined with lifestyle and fitness coaching, this method helps restore balance, improve quality of life, and help you perform at your best.

Stress & Sleep Issues

Treatment isn't only for what already hurts. Acupuncture is well used for balancing mood, improving sleep quality, managing stress load, and helping prevent issues from presenting.

How it works

What to expect, start to finish

No guessing about what happens when. Here is exactly how a course of care runs at the clinic.

Text/Call 303-564-3256 or send a message through the contact form. Tell Tara briefly what's going on — she'll tell you honestly whether this is something acupuncture is well suited to.

02

Complete your intake

Download and print the intake forms before you come, or arrive 20 minutes early to fill them out at the office. Either way, the paperwork happens before your appointment time — not during it.

Before your visit
03

Consultation

The first 15–30 minutes are a one-on-one, TCM health intake and biomedicine scans (when needed) to make sure Tara has a very clear understanding of your health needs and history.

15–30 minutes
04

Your first treatment

Points are selected on the body, limbs and/or head to correct the underlying pattern of disharmony, with additional points added specifically to relieve current symptoms. Once needles are placed, you'll rest quietly for up to 25 minutes.

25 minutes
05

Follow-up treatments

All treatments after the first session last 45 minutes. Each appointment begins with a review of progress since the last session to confirm the focus is still right.

Questions

Frequently asked

If your question isn't here, just call — Tara would rather answer it before you book.

Most patients report that acupuncture treatments are not only relatively painless, but also extremely relaxing. Acupuncture needles are hair-fine and nothing like a hypodermic needle. You may feel a brief dull heaviness or a travelling sensation at a point — that's normal and usually fades within seconds.
60-90 minutes. The first 15–20 minutes are your consultation; the treatment follows. Every appointment after that lasts one hour.
Your completed intake forms (download links are above), a list of any medications or supplements you take, and loose comfortable clothing. Arrive 20 minutes early if you'd rather fill the forms out at the office.
It depends entirely on what you're being treated for and how long it's been going on. Acute issues often respond in a handful of visits; long-standing chronic patterns take longer. Tara will give you an honest estimate after your consultation and will tell you when you no longer need to come in.
Acupuncture is a chemical-free therapy that works well as a complement to conventional care — many patients are referred by their chiropractor or physician. Always keep your prescribing doctor informed, and never stop a prescribed medication without talking to them first.
Anything that is not life-threatining. Pain and injury, stress and sleep, digestive complaints, women's health, immune support, smoking cessation and general preventive wellness, among others.

Not sure which treatment you need? Neither is anyone at first.
