Hi, I’m Tara

Hi! I’m Tara, a doctorate nurse practitioner, fertility coach, and infertility “warrior”. I’ve spent the past decade pursuing nursing, including a master’s and doctorate degree. Like you, I endured a long road through endometriosis, and miscarriage, followed by infertility treatments and a traumatic pregnancy. I sought professional and medical intervention from two fertility clinics as my medical mind was spinning which led me to google and social media for answers.

I was lonely, confused, overwhelmed from the weight of infertility.

I can't begin to explain how amazing Tara is. She has figured out more for me in my health journey in a few months than previous health professionals did in a lifetime. She takes her time with every visit and I never feel rushed. She answers my questions and checks in with me frequently. Tara's main concern is the patient and her passion and dedication shows with every interaction. The world needs more practitioners like Tara.

Tara is a rarity in a provider. She’s knowledgeable well outside of routine medical practice, not afraid to seek a more holistic route in treating patients, and listens and asks questions to see the larger picture of health. Her passion is clearly healing people, not just treating them. I cannot recommend Tara enough as a provider and seeing her via telemedicine makes it so much easier for those of us with busy schedules and juggling several kids.

Tara is the most caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy medical professionals and individuals. She takes the time to listen, validate, and assist with any and all concerns I have brought to the table. Appointments are super easy to make and offered at convenient times for those that work the typical M-F 8-5 jobs. If you're looking for a medical professional who will go out of their way to make you feel validated while also assisting with your concerns, there is no better option than Tara!

I have spent years trying to get a medical professional to LISTEN to my issues and find a solution outside of "eat better". I had an in passing conversation with Tara in a social setting and in 15 mins felt more understood than I ever had in any professional medical setting. One virtual (EVENING!!) appointment later I had so much new knowledge, a plan, and HOPE. I learned that the "basic blood panels" Id been getting had a low chance of helping diagnose what could be causing my symptoms. Tara is so thorough, so knowledgeable, and so comfortable to be around. She seems like someone who has heard it all and seen it all and can help with ANY "weird" thing going on. She isnt quick to jump to prescription solutions which I appreciate. My journey isn't based in trying to get pregnant but she treated my hormonal struggles the same as someone with a different goal. I am eternally grateful to Tara and the endless wealth of knowledge she has.

it doesn’t have to be this way

After experiencing a long road through infertility, I decided I wanted to help couples in their journey to grow their family. I chose to change paths to provide a full suite of coaching services and support for those struggling to build their family. I am certified through the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), a natural family planner with the Marquette Method and a Certified Hormone Puzzle Fertility Coach.

Why is this Important?

Through my experiences as a healthcare professional and personal struggle with infertility, I recognize there are large gaps of care for women and couples struggling with infertility. Far too many grow frustrated and fall through the cracks. My services help you get unstuck and avoid the common pitfalls of the fertility journey.

When you work with me you receive individualized care, availability to fit your schedule, consistency, evidence-based education, encouragement, and peace of mind.  My work focuses on empowering women and couples to improve their reproductive health care and help to navigate the ups and downs. Together we can break through barriers and take back control of your family’s story.
