ABOUT TARA
It's taken me a long, long time to figure out why I'm here.
This is one of the reasons my Human Design made me cry when I learned my design.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, a certified Quantum Human Design and Quantum Alignment practitioner, and a 6/2 Emotional Generator who is fully, finally, "off the roof."
Root Your Truth. Unleash Your Radiance.
MY STORY
A quarter of a century in the wrong field.
WORKING IN I.T.
I spent over 25 years in working in the technology field. I was good at it, but it just never felt right. So, I moved from job to job within the field. I eventually ended up working for a school district. I thought that supporting the students and teachers with their IT needs would be more fulfilling.
What I finally learned? I didn't give a shit about their computers. I gave a shit about them.
It was learning Myers-Briggs personality type many years prior that had given me clues for what to do next.
Learning my type (INFJ) blew my mind. It was like I was written down on paper. It was then I realized that I'm not the only one like this! THANK GOD
I enrolled in graduate school and started studying for a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
I cannot fully explain how incredible that experience was.
I'm not the only one like this!!
I worked full-time in IT with a family of four plus two fur babies while I went to school online (thank you Walden University!). Three years later I was a therapist! Oh. My. God. This is amazing!
People are always surprised by my career change. From logical, "cold" IT to "touchy-feely" counseling. Well, I knew that the biggest reason I did well in IT was exactly because I cared first about people. No judgement, but that isn't the first concern for most IT people. 💛
Moving from IT to counseling felt like taking off 4-inch-high heels and putting on the coziest fuzzy slippers. Ahhhhhhhhhhh

BEING A THERAPIST
Being a therapist has been the most rewarding experience of my life. When I started working with people (freaking terrifying in the beginning), I realized that I've been a therapist at heart my entire life.
I've loved every minute.
I first gravitated toward ADHD. I have ADHD. My boys have ADHD. My siblings have ADHD.
I live the ADHD world, and most definitely wanted to support accurate diagnosis and helping with this disorder.
As it turns out, low self-worth was what I wanted to heal the most. Nobody with ADHD escapes having their self-worth take a beating.
I also developed passions for trauma (trained in EMDR) and anxiety. I ended up specializing in all three areas. They will always be areas of passion for me.
Well, in an effort to balance giving you About Me without being too boring, I'll skip ahead to becoming restless.
My first therapy office!
Yep. I got restless. I still felt a deep sense of purpose. But I was also restlessness.
"How can I possibly be restless when I've finally found the right career for me?
Seriously, what is wrong with me?"
Human Design?
h
I hired a business coach with the intention of having her help me focus on building an online course.
The first thing she had me do? Complete my Human Design chart and send it to her. My what?
I got my chart and free report, and I was blown away. It felt like when I discovered Myers-Briggs times 1000!
The feeling was so visceral that within a week I had researched and then signed up for Dr. Karen Parker's Quantum Human Design training.
DOING WHAT I WAS BORN TO DO
It was an exciting discovery like Myers-Briggs had been.
But this was different.
In personality tests, you give them information and then they tell you more information. The only information I provided in HD was my birth date, time, and city. What?
I couldn't fathom how it was even possible for HD to explain WHY things had been the way they've been in my life. WTAF?
The phrase "you just can't make this shit up" became a phrase I couldn't stop saying.
I could quite literally write a book about how learning my human design has changed my life. Dramatically improved my life.
But, fast forward....
It got to the point where it had enough impact that I simply had to introduce human design to my therapy clients. Oy. They didn't come to me for this. They came for therapy. But I just couldn't ignore it. It started to feel unethical(!) not to share it.
I started with clients I knew were into Astrology. The results were exactly what I expected. Profound.
Long story short, I eventually introduced it to those I thought of as logical-hard-science-no-woo kind of people. I told them I would not charge them for the session, and I'd never mention it again if it didn't resonate!! It always resonated. With some more than others, but it resonated.
The result in my practice? FAR fewer therapy sessions. In one specific case, after looking at a new client's chart (prior to the first session), and thinking about why she was coming to me for therapy, I thought shit, she'll be with me for two maybe three sessions. And that is what exactly happened.
I mean, that's good. Really good. But my average sessions were down dramatically. So guess what that means? My income was also down. I needed to branch out!
Fast forward again...
In May 2026, I closed my therapy practice after over eight years and stepped fully into this work. That wasn't a small thing. It was the scariest but most aligned decision I've ever made. Why close my practice? It started to feel like I was doing a sort of bait-and-switch. I wasn't, but new clients wanted therapy, not to dig deep into their human design. So I decided to focus solely on coaching.
This is what I know to be true:
You are not broken. You are not too much or not enough.
You have been using the wrong roadmap.
And there is a version of your life. A deeply visceral, deeply authentic life. One feels right in your soul, waiting on the other side of learning who you actually are.
WHAT I BELIEVE
The things I'll never apologize for believing.
You don't need more information. You need permission to trust what you already know.
You've consumed the content. You have the awareness. What's missing isn't knowledge — it's the lived experience of actually operating from your own inner authority instead of everyone else's.
Transformation is a practice, not a purchase.
No course, book, or reading will change your life on its own. Change happens in the daily choices, the small experiments, the moments you catch the old pattern and choose differently.
It is amazing. But, you were truly designed with intention. Conforming is the problem, not you.
Every pattern you've been trying to "fix" makes complete sense in the context of who you actually are. What I do isn't try to make you better. It's to help you stop working against yourself.
The right guide has walked the road they're showing you.
I'm not teaching Human Design from the outside. I've lived it, wrestled with it, tested it in my marriage, with my kids, my siblings, and my own complete career reinvention. I'm a Wayshower*, not a guru.
* A Wayshower is one who demonstrates a path through embodied living rather than instruction.
