Hi, I’m Tara!

✱ Herbalist, twin momma & obsessed with healing our bodies without medications.

All of our illnesses are from nutrient depletion. It’s time to nourish your cup so you can live life fully.

I wasn’t always this calm…

Opening two businesses and having twins in the same year was not the best start to motherhood.

With a deep gut knowing that I wouldn’t be able to take medications, I set out to understand why so many of us struggle after childbirth.

✔ I battled insomnia, night terrors, heart palpitations, and constant crying
✔ I was determined to get to the root cause, not just manage symptoms
✔ I trusted that my body could heal—and that something important was being missed

A decade later, we now understand much more.

Those of us with the MTHFR gene and poor methylation often struggle with taking medications and chronic symptoms—not because we’re broken, but because our bodies need better support for detoxification and drainage pathways.

So my gut was right all along.
I couldn’t tolerate the meds—it just took ten years to learn why.

And now, I help other mothers avoid that long, painful detour.

"I can't say enough great things about Tara! She is an expert in the postpartum field and is truly advocating for women to feel GOOD again after having a baby. I was searching for answers postpartum and she got right down to the heart of things. She is so knowledgable, kind, and down to earth. If you're looking for a holistic approach to bringing hormones back to normal, The Present Momma course is the way to go. Every woman postpartum needs this course."

Lindsay Oppler
"Tara was so knowledgeable and helped give me so many pointers when it came to my postpartum brain fog and anxiety. She has so much knowledge about herbs and led me to some great blends. She helped with much more than just herb blend recommendations though, she was thorough and tried to brake down all my symptoms. She gave me many resources and set me up to succeed. She actually listened and would follow up with me. I will definitely be using her again for her knowledge and compassion."

-Caroline Boxell
"Tara is extremely supportive and knowledgeable- she is an incredible wealth of knowledge on postpartum support. Her course on PPD/PP Anxiety has been so helpful, and it's given me so many tools to use as I navigate the newborn phrase and beyond. It's also SO wonderful to know which herbs are safe to use while breastfeeding. So thankful I found Tara - I highly recommend her to new moms going through it. I'm a mom of two, and I wish I had had these resources when I had my first baby. Thank you Tara!!"

Why work with me

Herbal & Homeopathic Remedies

Discover how to use natural remedies and choose the right ones based on your unique symptoms.

Heal Your Gut

“All illnesses begin in the gut”. -Hippocrates

When you learn how to heal and seal your gut - many symptoms will disappear.

Nervous System Regulation

Calming your nervous system is key to healing insomnia, anxiety, depression, rage, and more.

Fill In The Gap

Most of our symptoms are due to a deficiency in vitamins and minerals. When we “fill the gap” - our bodies heal.

How did this all begin?

As an herbalist, I wanted to use little to no medications during childbirth and then with my infants.

But I didn’t anticipate the insomnia, anxiety, rage, and depression that would follow having twins. I knew I didn’t want to take medications, as they had never really worked for me; so I enrolled to become a certified women’s herbal educator with Dr. Aviva Romm, all while raising twins and running a business!!!

2013 - We had twins!

2015 Pelvic Pow-HER was Created

As a STOTT PILATES instructor trainer and owner of a Pilates studio, I began teaching mothers how to strengthen their core and pelvic floor with my signature course, Pelvic Pow-HER.

I started to realize so many moms struggled with incontinence, losing body weight, and feeling overwhelmed. I offered health consultations to my clients to introduce them to herbal medicine. Clients started coming off SSRIs and using herbs to feel calm.

In 2017, I chose to close my beloved Pilates studio to care for my twins. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made.

I began sharing herbal remedies to help moms heal depression, anxiety, insomnia, and rage with my online course, The Present Momma.

2017 The Present Momma Was Created

2020, my husband passed away in front of me.

We moved into a house with mold, the pandemic hit, and then my husband passed away in front of me. I took time away from teaching to heal.

This pause and ability to heal taught me about nervous system regulation, the MTHFR gene, and how our environment impacts our health, our digestion, and our nervous system.

I now offer private consultations for women of all ages and online herbal medicine education.

As an herbalist, I look at your full health history, current symptoms, and as an investigator, I connect your symptoms to your health history and create a customized, personalized health plan for your unique needs.

My online mini-courses are an affordable way to work with me.

These Days…

✔ We're a lively bunch of four, counting our energized boxer, Chase, who's become the heart and soul of our family since my husband's passing in 2020.

✔ When I'm not immersed in work, you'll often catch me lost in the pages of my Kindle, concocting herbal tinctures in my makeshift lab (aka kitchen), tending to my little slice of paradise in the garden, or embarking on hikes in the Hudson Valley.

✔ I specialize in Health Consultations with remedies for women’s health from menarche to menopause.

✔ I offer Pelvic Pow-HER to our community in the Cold Spring, NY area for moms to connect to their center again.

✔ The Present Momma is an online support and community for moms who want to get to the root cause of their postpartum symptoms, like anxiety, depression, rage, and insomnia, and are determined to heal naturally with herbal medicine and holistic strategies. Even if your children are older, even if you’re breastfeeding.

Please join me in sharing this information. No other mother should suffer for decades after having children.
