I'm a Chippewa Valley native who has found her way back home after 15 years of living in different parts of the U.S. including Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, and Minnesota. Following the birth of my daughter (Audrey) in 2019, I decided to relocate back to our family-friendly city to raise her and establish Eau Claire Acupuncture. When I was a child my parents were business owners here (U.S. Vinyl) and it's a special privilege to now establish my practice in our community.

I have over 10 years of experience in the healthcare field and found my passion for acupuncture when I was a student in nursing school. After receiving a diagnosis of PCOS at the age of 19 I suffered from many side effects, some permanent, from typical treatment. I sought out acupuncture as an alternative option and it changed my quality of life significantly.  Since graduating from acupuncture school I have worked on integrative care teams in Minneapolis and have experience treating a wide range of patients and conditions from NFL athletes to pre-teens, stroke recovery, and fertility. I am grateful and appreciative of the opportunity to help patients with whatever their condition may be, but women's health is my true passion.

​

Tara is a long time resident of the Eau Claire Community and has a background in the traditional medical field. 

In 2013 Tara started living a "toxic-free life" after her first son was born. Seeing the amount of harmful chemicals in everyday household items scared her as a parent. 

​

Tara and her husband have two sons and two dogs. She loves to try new recipes, travel, do puzzles, thrifting, and has successfully made it through 2 seasons of gardening!

I graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN with a B.S. in Human Biology and Masters in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I am currently working towards becoming licensed and board certified for acupuncture and Chinese medicine in Wisconsin. 

 

I used to struggle with constant migraines, mental health and menstrual issues before I found acupuncture. I had tried so many western therapies and approaches, but none truly got to the root of my problems. I decided to give acupuncture a try and it changed my life. After multiple treatments, my anxiety/mental health was manageable, my migraines had almost completely gone away, and my menstrual issues had significantly decreased. I was absolutely amazed and knew that acupuncture was the medicine and art that I wanted to practice. 

 

I knew through acupuncture, I could help many people achieve their goals of a healthier and happier life. I am passionate about helping people and I’m excited to start helping the Chippewa Valley community.
