Personal Message from Tamara:

Hello Beautiful Soul! I’m delighted you dropped by. It’s been my experience that we all have to answer FOUR SACRED QUESTIONS: Who am I, really, beyond and beneath the projections – the hopes, fears, dreams, and “curses” – of my family and others?  Who am I? What am I doing here, and how is my life unfolding? Where is life taking me: am I still on the path of my purpose? Who will come with me: who can I count amongst my allies to help me meet this purpose, and who must I let go of?  My passion is to draw out whatever is most authentic in each being and ignite a fire that will spark a revolution in his or her life towards DEEP FULFILLMENT. I help perfectionistic misfits and mystics who trip themselves up with anxiety and comparisons, whether just internally or in their relationships with lovers.

Why work with me?

As a rebel, visionary, and self-identified purple sheep, I love working with clients who have a low threshold for small talk and anything that feels like bul$%&.  Those who like to go deep and can’t stand settling for the mundane. Not surprisingly then, even as a natural nurturer, I have come to be known for my “out-of-the-box” and “tell it like it is” approach at times.  This means I’ll go where you want to and I won’t ever placate you. I offer sessions both in person at our downtown Pensacola offices or ONLINE so you can take me wherever you go!
