ABOUT

Hi, I’m Tara Welcome to Lionheart Therapy!
Having been a therapist for over 20 years, I took a leap of faith after attending the Ashley Black Fascia class and opened my own studio. My journey has been one of resilience and transformation. Having overcome significant trauma in my own life, I understand how our bodies hold onto mental, emotional and physical trauma. My priority is creating a safe and nurturing environment for healing and relaxation as you embark on your own healing journey. With a fun and outgoing personality, I strive to make each session not only therapeutic but also enjoyable. Together, we can work towards restoring balance and wellness in your body.
Outside of work, I spend the majority of my time with my family. Our two older kiddos are off living their best lives and the little one is still at home. Growing up, I played volleyball, basketball, and softball, and to this day, I still enjoy playing softball. Driving up to Tahoe for a midweek pizza, at White Caps is one of my absolute favorite things to do with the family.
I look forward to working with you and supporting you to feel your best!
ExploreDifferent Types of Massage Offered
Swedish Massage
With gentle flowing strokes, a Swedish massage blends relaxation and rejuvenation. Light to medium pressure helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and leave you floating in pure bliss.
Therapeutic Bodywork
A blend of deep tissue, stretching, cupping, and fascia work tailored to your body’s needs. This restorative approach relieves pain, enhances mobility, and brings you back into balance.
Deep Tissue & Cupping
Firm pressure and slow strokes reach deep layers of tension, while cupping boosts circulation and releases stuck fascia. Great for chronic pain, athletic recovery, or stress relief.
A Game-Changer for Deep Healing
What is Fascia and why does it matter?
Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps around your muscles, bones, nerves, and organs, holding your body together. When it’s tight or restricted, it can cause pain, stiffness, and fatigue. At Lionheart Therapy, we use targeted techniques like fascia blasting and cupping to restore healthy movement, boost circulation, and help your body release years of built-up tension.
The result?
It’s like getting 4–6 massages in one - improving flexibility, reducing cellulite, and helping you move with ease. Most clients say they feel lighter, more open, and deeply healed after just one session.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes! While we don’t treat mental health conditions, many clients come for support with the physical symptoms of stress: tension, tightness, fatigue, sleep issues, and overwhelm. Fascia work calms the nervous system and can help your body feel grounded and resilient again.
