My name is Tara and I am an acupuncturist, placenta specialist and birth worker living and working in East London. I am a proud single mum to four children, aged 15-6 years old, plus a crazy dog, and two of my children are neurodiverse with Autism and ADHD. 

I have been practising Chinese Medicine for the last 15 years and (apart from my kids) it is my absolute passion and joy in life. I am an acupuncture nerd and could talk about it for hours :) I work almost exclusively with women, and work closely with fertility, gyne problems, pregnancy at all stages, the postnatal stage, and I sometimes treat their babies and children too. 

I opened my own clinic, Healing Space Hackney, in Chatsworth Road E5 in March 2021, which was a bold power move as we were just coming out of lockdown. In my clinic I mentor an amazing team of hand picked therapists and also work there almost full time. 

Chinese Medicine for me was a gateway to lifelong learning, and it has led me to study reiki, massage, placenta encapsulation, Chinese Herbs, and I’m currently doing a 2 year rebirthing Breathwork training which I am LOVING. 

I have a wealth of knowledge and experience having had 4 babies of my own and supported so many beautiful women over the years. With pregnancy, I have either lived it, heard about it or treated it and I absolutely love to support women at this amazing stage in their lives.
