“I initially met Tara at a conference in Portland, Oregon in January 2015. I was drawn to her immediately, as she has a stunning presence both inside and out. After getting to know her further and working with her over the ensuing months, it quickly became apparent that Tara is incredibly spiritually tapped in.

The depth and breadth of her own personal experiences have fostered an extremely high level of empathy in Tara. She also has a wonderful, wicked sense of humor to boot. And although she delivers her wisdom and love with the gentleness of an angel, she is simultaneously fiercely strong. She listens deeply, and allows me to be totally authentic in a safe space.

She also is able to reframe seeming problems in a new light, which encourages me to see potential solutions that I hadn’t before. Maybe most importantly, Tara has helped me get comfortable with being seen in the world. All in all, Tara has been a joy to work with, and I would highly recommend her beautiful approach to others!”

After years of ignoring my body and its needs my body said enough. When everything I had tried had failed, I reached out to Tara. Tara helped me to come to peace with my body. Her love, trust, insight, and knowledge enabled me to be present and accepting of where my body was now. She helped me find my inner beauty.

She allowed me time but gently prodded me to reenter my life and live it from a place of authenticity. If that was all Tara did it would have been more than enough. Tara didn’t stop there, she helped me create space in my home that was uniquely mine. A place where I could go and find peace. A place that represented everything I am and do.

If you are looking to find peace with your body and create a place of peace in your home, look no further than Tara. Get ready to be seen and heard in a way you never have been before. Your life will be changed in the best ways possible.

I love working with Tara. When I need to talk with someone who can see the whole picture, who can accurately sense what is not being spoken and can intuit what needs to happen, Tara is my go-to person.
Her gifts in navigating the world of design are easy to see and beautiful through and through. Tara is able to feel what the client needs and translate that into a space that is beautiful, aligned and delicious. But her true gifts lay in the magic.

Tara has the rare ability to create and hold space for people to feel safe, loved and alive and do with their inner lives, what she does in her design work with external lives. When you work with Tara, you will experience a comforting, nurturing, completely liberating place that allows for true inspiration. If you have a chance to work with Tara, grab it. She has helped me more than she’ll ever know.

My husband and I purchased what we thought was our home away from home in July of 2014. It was a furnished condo steps from the ocean with a fabulous view, however the condo was straight out of the 80s. The walls were donned with every shade of pink imaginable. The furniture was large, bulky, plush and pastel. The dining chairs were not only on wheels, but actually reclined. As a second home, we felt we could live with the decor and take our time updating the place. However, that is not what the universe had in store for us.

We were at a place in our lives where we needed a fresh start and a place of healing.

My husband had been previously diagnosed with a terminal illness and by October 2014, we realized we needed a place where we could enjoy life and be happy again. He retired, I quit my job, and we decided to move into our beach oasis full time. The only problem was the condo was far from an oasis. That is when I met Tara with Starlight Life. As I explained my situation, likes, dislikes, and desires of what the condo would be like, Tara took in every word. I had a terminally ill husband and a 4 year-old; I was in the process of moving from Nevada to Oregon; and I was just launching my career in Real Estate all at the same time.

To say I needed flexibility is an understatement. Tara was able to design our entire condo, remotely and over the internet using Pinterest. She put everything together from the paint on the walls to the entire kitchen remodel. She helped us pick and place furniture and artwork. She also helped us remove and rearrange walls to help with the overall flow to effectively maximize every square inch of the condo.

I feel like Tara’s understanding of what we needed went deeper than just decorations and paint colors. She understood what we needed to make our home functional and comfortable. She was reliable, but most importantly she took our ideas, embraced them and made them better. She never tried to change our mind or stick to a pre-conceived plan she had. Because of Tara, we have our oasis and our place of healing and happiness. So many wonderful memories have been made over the past year and we look forward to making many more. —
