​“Tara is such a beautiful healer. In all the Thai Massage sessions I've received from her she has brought such vivid presence, nurturing loving touch and her deep wisdom of the body's healing. She is a wise, gentle soul and is profoundly gifted at what she does. I feel very blessed to have her as a practitioner and would absolutely recommend that if you feel called, you nurture yourself with the gift of her massage.
— K. Anderson, Hornby Island

Traditional Thai Massage 
& Ayurveda Bodywork 

I recommended booking a 90 minute Thai Massage Session to receive the full benefits. 
However 60 minute appointments are also available and can also be amazing! 
 

Ayurveda Consults, please allow 90 minutes for your initial session. These sessions are for those who really want to take their health wellbeing seriously and need extra support, guidance and accountability in navigating their journey and reaching goals.  
​“Tara is amazing! I've traveled throughout Thailand and had some very good Thai massages while there. However, Tara's massage was by far the best! I've never felt so zenned out after a massage in my life! Tara is also very capable with helping to heal any ongoing injuries through her massage practice. 100% would recommend!
— M. Holt, North Vancouver.”
