"Best Thai massage teacher I could have imagined - making clear that Thai massage is as much body work as a practice of presence. Including all the knowledge and practice of necessary self care in order to be there for others, essentials for starting your own Thai massage business and LOTS of hands-on Thai massage practice of course! Thank you so much Tara for your guidance and spirit! " 💕 - Regina Regenbogen

"It was truly a pleasure learning from Tara! She is an excellent teacher and brings with her a wealth of knowledge that you won't get from just any teacher. This is more than a standard training. Tara has learned from many different teachers and elders in Thailand, and this comes through in her trainings. She honors the tradition in its traditional way which is also so important. I feel so fortunate to have learned from her. - Highly recommend!" Deanna Ishawk
