About Tamara
​Hi, I’m Tamara (pronounced Tamra)
​
I’m from Carlow, in the South East of Ireland, and my journey here has been anything but straightforward. I’m a Master Life Coach, Breathwork and Meditation Teacher, Somatic Healing Practitioner, EFT Practitioner, Reiki Practitioner, and HICAT (Holistic Integrative Creative Art Therapy) Practitioner. But before all that, I spent 21 years in the corporate world as an accountant—quite the contrast, right?
​
In 2021, I found myself in a hospital for nine weeks, wrestling with a complex mental health diagnosis. It felt like everything I had built—my identity, my sense of worth—was crumbling. The heaviness of those days was overwhelming, and every thought seemed to reinforce my worst fears. I thought I was a burden, I thought I was worthless.
​
Leaving the corporate world was like stepping off a cliff. I had spent decades defining myself by my work, and when that was stripped away, I felt lost. But as painful as that experience was, it also gave me clarity. I realised my true mission: to guide others out of that same kind of darkness. If my journey could help even one person reclaim their life, I knew it would all be worth it.
​
Since then, I’ve peeled back the layers, done the therapy, and studied various modalities to understand the mind-body connection. I truly believe this connection is where it all starts and ends. Our thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences are all tied together, and healing needs to address the whole person.
​
As a Master Life Coach, I’ve studied deeply into areas like life purpose, happiness, goal setting, mindfulness, DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy). In a coaching session with me, we’ll use all or a few of these approaches—whether it’s somatic healing, EFT tapping, breathwork, therapeutic art, reiki, or meditation—depending on what works best for you. You don’t need to have it all figured out; we’ll explore together to find what resonates and brings you the most peace and growth.
​
These days, I find peace in the simple things—things I never really appreciated before. I love to crochet, meditate, and spend time in nature. These are my anchors, grounding me in the present and helping me reconnect with myself when life feels overwhelming.
​
When life does get tough, it’s my family that keeps me going. My husband and two teenage sons are my rock, always there to remind me that I’m not navigating life’s ups and downs alone. And then there’s Timmy, our fluffy bundle of joy, who never fails to bring a smile to my face with his playful antics.
So here I am now, not the accountant buried in numbers and deadlines, but someone who’s walked through her own emotional storms and found a way to heal. My life today is woven with love, healing, and a deep commitment to helping others break free from the struggles that weigh them down.
​
If you’ve been feeling like you’re carrying the weight of the world and don’t know where to start, I’ve been there too. And I can tell you—it’s possible to come through the other side. Let’s walk that path together.
