What clients have to say…….
"There are certain times in life when people are put in place at the exact moment that you need them. Tamara has been one of those people for me. When I met Tamara, I had not been able to string together any days of sobriety in spite of my best efforts. She is compassionate, caring and empathetic and is able to hold you accountable in a kind manner that gets through to you in a way that other people can’t. She has taken the time to get to know me and to understand what works best for me and my journey in sobriety. She has helped me get through cravings that I thought would never pass, encouraged me when tears flowed as I cried broken and baffled on yet another day 1, talked me through how to deal with every emotion. She genuinely cares about me as a person. I don’t know where I would have been had I not met Tamara. She is someone you will only meet once in a lifetime and I am forever grateful for her and the work that she does."

Thankfully, I reached out to Tamara in one of my darkest, soul crushing hours in a moment I knew that I had to change or I was going to destroy my life. She has been a huge support for me from the moment I called and has been a steady light on the path ever since. I knew right away that Tamara is gifted with a keen sense of seeing to the heart of aspects of my childhood trauma, my limiting beliefs, and my attachments with a refreshing honesty and in a short amount of time. She assisted me with having the courage to take the action steps I needed to take to heal. Her generosity, intuition, and dedication to healing are contagious and beautiful. I am deeply grateful to have found such gifted healer.

“I am so grateful to have your help and guidance with my emotional well being over the past year. I felt a trusted connection with you from the very beginning. You were compassionate yet firm. You listened and heard what I was saying and translated so I could understand and see my truth. Recently we worked together using EFT. This has been such a great tool for me to use. Using it to bring down anxiety in times of overwhelm is so helpful, but tapping has benefited me the most in writing the life story I want to have. Those doors are opening. I am worthy.”

Coaching Packages
Intensive coaching acts as a lifeline during the tumultuous waters of addiction recovery—an exhilarating yet precarious journey where every step feels like a leap of faith. As you embark on this transformative phase, the winds of change can be fierce, and that’s why you need unwavering support to help you reshape those automatic responses that have held you captive for so long. Each coaching package is like having a trusted compass in your pocket, offering you twenty-four-hour access to Tamara via a messaging app, empowering you with weekly 1:1 counseling sessions, and providing the camaraderie of group coaching calls that spark connection and insight.
Imagine peeling back the layers of your life, revealing the tangled roots of your addiction. Continuous and long-term coaching serves as a powerful tool, shining a spotlight on the hidden corners of your psyche where unresolved trauma, irrational beliefs, and financial anxieties lurk. It’s a brave expedition into self-discovery, where you will confront those destructive behavioral patterns that have been holding you back. This vital exploration paves the way for true, lasting recovery. Without skilled guidance, those blind spots can remain like shadows, manipulating your impulses from the dark.
Having a coach isn’t just a support system; it’s a partnership in healing. Your willingness to embrace this journey and accept the sometimes humbling feedback from your coach can be the key that unlocks the door to profound transformation. It’s about stepping into the light and seeing the parts of yourself that have been obscured for far too long.
The subconscious can be a mischievous trickster, fueling our reactive, impulsive, and addictive behaviors. That’s why one of the primary goals of recovery coaching is to unearth those hidden areas of your life that you’ve yet to confront. With an experienced coach by your side, you’ll embark on an adventure toward the vibrant life that awaits you on the other side—a life filled with possibilities, freedom, and the joy of rediscovering who you truly are!

There is something truly amazing about sharing together through group coaching. Listening to the challenges of one another can help us not to feel alone in what we are experiencing. Such a major part of suffering is feeling alone without support & companionship. We can be uniquely beneficial to others by also sharing, together, how we are overcoming the challenges we face. We can share the tools that we are learning & applying in our daily lives, as well as, receive guidance from Tamara.
