I was referred to Tara for some nagging muscle soreness while training for a marathon. At my first visit, Tara was easily able to not only locate the source of pain, but to quickly release the tension in the area. This was a MAJOR release for me, and the treatment left me feeling more grounded and at peace with myself.

COME HOME TO YOURSELF
While it can be difficult to address the constellation of clinical manifestations as well as multiple organ systems involved in post-Covid sequelae, as holistic health practitioners, acupuncture and natural medicine can be a missing link for managing chronic manifestations of Covid. Many of the symptoms of long-Covid, such as fatigue, brain fog, irregular menstruation, body aches, headaches, etc. are already things we often treat successfully with acupuncture and herbs in the clinic!
