Tara’s Bio
Tara Elise Thomas was born in Massachusetts. She studied cognitive studies at Vanderbilt University and received a Bachelor of Arts in English from Boston College. After college, she moved to San Francisco, where her life changed forever.
At age 17, Tara was diagnosed with Lupus, an inflammatory autoimmune disease that many struggle with long-term. She suffered from the illness until age 22, when while living in San Francisco, a friend told her, “You don’t have to have this disease.” This simple statement resonated with Tara and helped her discover her ability to “let go” of Lupus. It also inspired her quest to study and master a wide array of healing modalities, to cultivate her innate intuitive abilities, and to hone her manifestation skills.
Tara’s life reached new heights. She let go of the illness like it was old baggage, eradicating its presence and symptoms from her life. While she already had exposure to healing—her mother taught her early on to meditate, visualize and work with the power of Angels—this was the catalyst for a dedicated, lifelong journey.
Tara lived in Italy for nine years, where she worked as a spiritual coach, medium and actress. When she returned to America, she studied Clinical Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California It is here that she received her Master’s degree, and then became a licensed marriage and family therapist.
These early lessons prompted Tara to begin her lifelong journey studying and working with healing arts and modalities, both Eastern and Western. This was amplified by her Lupus diagnosis, which inspired her to explore forms of healing ranging from self-expression through acting and learning to understand and intuit illness to her immersion in therapy and studying clinical psychology in graduate school. Tara also lived abroad, traveled and stayed with Amma, The Hugging Saint, at her ashram in India for four months. These experiences contributed to her expansive knowledge and spiritual growth.
BOOK
In graduate school, Tara published her thesis on the divine, astrology, and love as modalities to heal and awaken the soul. This led to writing a book, Live Your Best Life: Guidance for Healing and Reclaiming All Parts of You, an extension of her thesis that delves into her life and outlines how the various healing modalities she explored helped her heal. These same practices will help readers of all ages to heal and become their most authentic selves.
