Welcome to the Conversation
Start the dialogue that transforms.
Olá from Portugal and welcome to the Conversation!
But why should you talk to me?
What my clients take from the sessions is mostly one thing:
 the experience of getting to know themselves better.

They gain clarity about their thoughts, feelings and patterns, and explore their personality.
People come to me who doubt themselves, who cannot find inner stability, or have an attitude directed against themselves.

Interestingly, you can often see the effects of such behavior in the dog.
This is why dogs can sometimes help me to bring people back to themselves.

Our dogs often know us better than we know ourselves because they observe us.
 This is the most important starting point for communication for me.
Sometimes dogs give me a sense of where the conversation needs to go.

I do not help the dog. I let the dog show me that I have worked with the person in the right way.
And my clients confirm this.​​

„I have been working with Tara on and off for a couple of years now with my two hounds. I feel for a while there was a block in me – I saw the brilliance of her approach and applied it, but then fell back into my normal habits – which meant no real change in me or the hounds. As I write this testimonial I recently completed a session with Tara where we walked my dogs together. At the start of the session I was tense, nervous and the dogs were in a similar state! Pretty much immediately I was confronted, and I must say gently, by Tara as to my perceptions about how to correct the dogs – but also it became so obvious that whereas my body seemed to know intuitively what to do, a doubting part of my mind hijacked these actions. This totally confused the dogs and was a perfect representation of the conflict in me. So after this was shown to me my whole demeanor changed – I would confidently correct the dogs when needed, wasn’t fearful about making a mistake – and also found myself not feeding or listening to the doubtful part in me. My dogs are a big feature in my family and my life so to be confident with them and a strong guide is super important – although I would admit I ignored this for some time. Tara’s ability to assist her clients in questioning their habits is rare and through the experiences with the dogs it is a super potent and transformational combination.“
Workshop
Dogs don’t show us a perfect world – they challenge us: to communicate more clearly, to set boundaries, and to take responsibility for ourselves.
I observe what’s happening between you and your dog from the outside and help you uncover what lies beneath the surface.
A monthly workshop, where we’ll question common ideas about dogs – and in doing so, discover valuable insights about ourselves. We’ll learn from one another through shared observation and open, active exchange.

„Working with Tara has been nothing short of transformative. She is deeply knowledgeable and truly embodies everything she teaches. With each session, I feel old layers gently falling away – masks I didn’t even realise I was wearing – and in their place, a quiet, rooted confidence is beginning to shine through. This confidence feels new because it is so rooted it's unshakable.
Tara is a powerful woman – strong, grounded, and yet very relatable, understanding, and deeply caring. I look forward to every session and the breakthroughs that continue to unfold – whether I'm with her alone or in sessions that include my dog. I am extremely grateful for what I have learnt so far and excited to see where this journey back to myself takes me!
Thank you so much.“

„Working with Tara brought me a whole new perspective on some deep patterns I have and did not see them. These were some of the most powerful sessions I had in my life and I’m so glad we did it, as now I can understand what I need to move out of my way to feel and be my best. Tara is incredibly intuitive and an amazing guide to go through very sensitive topics, her knowledge is raw and a true inspiration.
Thank you Tara!“

„When we invited Tara to join us for our puppy Borre, we thought we would learn everything about him. Instead, during her sessions, we primarily learned about ourselves. We learned how we relate to each other within the family and to the world around us, all reflected in our interactions with our dog.
Tara sees and is in close contact with the bigger picture, much like the animals. It's not always comfortable, but incredibly enlightening. Thank you, Tara, for your insights that have brought so much growth and connection within our family. The valuable insights are being reminded daily in our interactions with Borre, they fundamentally changed our lives.
Thank your Tara, I feel blessed to have crossed paths with you.“
Anja
„So far, no dog training has taught me as much as the coaching with Tara. I have learnt a lot about myself and also about what my dog needs from me to become more confident. Finally, walking together is more enjoyable and she is more relaxed staying at home on her own. This is a great relief for me.
Tara has a very special gift for seeing people, assessing them very quickly and understanding dogs. Her questions are to the point and have made me think and rethink.
A big thank you to you, dear Tara.“

„Tara showed me how to understand my dog better and through her, myself. A way of being together. How to own what I truly want and accept that. I will be always grateful for this ever-growing seed she planted.“
