A bit more about me...

I'm Tara Rai, artist, therapist and student of life. It has been my privilege to have spent the majority of my life exploring the meaning of existence through art, various therapeutic modalities and spiritual traditions that have brought me back to life. As a British born Indian, it has been a fascination of mine to explore the meeting of Eastern and Western philosophies into a grounded way of being.

Having experienced a life altering trauma at birth where the nerves of my right arm were severed as a result of getting pulled out too hastily (Erb's Palsy), I have been on a life long journey of healing my body, psyche and soul. Over the past decade I have been lucky enough to have been exposed to some of the most cutting edge healing modalities including Internal Family Systems, Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises and Brainspotting, all of which I offer to individuals also looking for transformation at the core of their being.

I currently live in SE London where I enjoy dancing Five
 Rhythms, finding hidden green gems in the city and exploring my creativity at my art studio once a week.

I work with clients both in person and online.

The Lineage of Tara

My personal history and healing journey required that I explored a variety of modalities from a very young age, all of which have undoubtably shaped my creativity, client work and connection to the greater mysteries of life. The many trainings I've taken listed below are a snapshot of commitments I've made to learn how to heal both my self and others. However, there are so many more elements that have gone into my personal and professional unfolding including over a decade of meditation, personal therapy,  mentorship, plant medicine ceremonies, silent retreats, dance classes, books that have touched me, and friends that have heard me to name but a few elements that are also integral to The Lineage of Me.
