I'm Tara Rai, an artist, healing practitioner and avid student of life. It has been my privilege to have spent the majority of my time 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 digestible, everyday 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, I have been on a life long journey of healing my nervous system, psyche and soul. I have been lucky enough to have been exposed to some of the most cutting edge healing modalities including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) and Brainspotting, all of which I deliver to individuals also looking for healing at the core of their being.
It is my belief that we all have an innate capacity to overcome the most challenging experiences otherwise we as a species would not still be here. It is also my belief that life is the greatest art that requires our deep engagement and curiosity to keep it flowing.
I currently live in South East London and see clients both in person and online.
The Lineage of Me
My own personal healing journey has required that I explore a variety of modalities, 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 many more elements that have gone into my personal and professional unfolding including over a decade of meditation, personal therapy, creativity 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.
