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 they give me a sense of where the conversation needs to go. 

I don’t help the dog directly. The dog itself demonstrates that I have worked with the person in the right way. And my clients confirm this.

Ani with Alva

Tara didn’t just help me communicate better with my dog, but also with the people around me. I would never have thought that working with her would bring so much change and hope into my life.

My dog used to attack everything that moved. With Tara’s help, I was able to recognize the underlying root conflicts behind this behavior. This not only improved my connection with my dog, but also with the people around me.

I am incredibly grateful to you, Tara, for doing what you love and for being your true self. I can feel in everything you do that you are fully devoted with all your heart.

We shape our relationships through communication.

This is reflected in how we relate to ourselves and our environment and determines how we experience relationships. It doesn’t matter whether we are interacting with a person or a dog. What matters is that we can express ourselves.

I help people look at their own communication and break free from patterns that limit their expression and unconsciously influence their relationships. These patterns come from our own experiences and upbringing. They shape who we are, how we relate to ourselves and communicate.

If we do not express ourselves freely, we lose touch with ourselves and our communication becomes blocked.

Those who learn to express themselves clearly, take responsibility in relationships and communicate openly, gain clarity, stability and self-confidence.

Working with me, creates a space where these unconscious communication patterns become visible. This allows you to better understand yourself and your dog, recognise old patterns, and learn to express yourself more clearly.

Communication is much more than just words. It helps us understand ourselves, grow, and face challenges.

So, what role do dogs play here?

In my experience, problems with dogs arise from the way we communicate.

Dogs respond immediately to inconsistencies, gaps, or mistakes in our communication, and show this through their behaviour.

I also used to follow a certain method to get my dogs to behave the way I wanted. Fortunately, my dogs never really went along with it, and I realised that I was failing with them in the same ways as I did in human relationships.

The crucial insight was that it is neither simply the dog nor the human, but with the way we communicate.

I began to look more closely at my own communication and realised that my inner conflicts shape the dynamics of my relationships.

For me, communication is the key to self-efficacy and freedom.

Monthly

Workshop

Social Walk

We have one thing in common with dogs above all: we are social beings, and we connect through communication.

In dog training, this connection is lost. Methods and commands replace genuine interaction.
In this workshop, I help you regain clear and reliable communication- confident in your presence, clear in your expression, with both people and dogs.

Through conversations, I open a new perspective and show you how your dog perceives you.

For anyone with challenges with their dog, looking to better understand themselves and their dog, and strengthen their communication.

I contacted Tara with nothing less than the aim to heal my trauma with dogs. Actually I was convinced that there was no cure for the typical ´freeze´ in my body I experienced when being near barking, growling, jumping dogs. With Tara I should quickly learn that this is not true: In a very thorough, detective-like interview she figured out the main reasons of my fears, always applying a gentle sensitivity and an authentic behearted compassion. In the subsequent walk with me and her dog she managed to place THE icebreaker: With her empowering and supportive attitude, she awoke again my ability of clearly expresssing my personal boundaries to the dog. For somebody who experiences fierce anxieties, this is a major step. That first session had a groundbreaking and long-lasting effect. I am now able to approach dogs with more self-confidence and clear the way for my connection to them. Honestly: I would want her to be my mentor for many more sessions
