About Tara Gallagher

ICF and CPD Accredited Somatic Trauma Informed Coach   Nervous System & Trauma Coaching

After realising she was repeating patterns from her dysfunctional childhood Tara, went on a mission to break the cycle so that the dysfunctional patterns stopped with her.    

Her children had already been experiencing anxiety, attachment issues and both had been unfortunate enough to have experienced health issues that left scars both physically and emotionally.    

Tara decided enough was enough and set out firstly on a meditation journey. This led her to becoming a meditation and breathwork coach. When she was going deeper on her journey it was clear for her to see that her childhood trauma was behind so many things, her behaviours, her beliefs and even her autoimmune diseases.    

So, she started to search for answers to her personal childhood traumas and she boarded the ‘trauma train’ and never got off.      

Tara has since gained training / certifications / accreditations in the following    
Meditation & Breathwork Coaching  
Mindfulness Activities and Interventions for Children and Families  
Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching  
Positive Psychology
Brainspotting phase 1 & 2  
Inner Child Healing
Gaslighting  
Somatic Trauma Therapy
And is even a Narcissistic Abuse Specialist  

Tara is now on a mission to help others feel safe in their own skin by processing and releasing their past traumas and by teaching nervous system regulation.      

Tara wants to help other parents stop the patterns of dysfunction rippling down to their children. By working through their own traumas and learning how to regulate themselves at nervous system level, these cycle breaker / change maker parents can show up and be that parent they needed when they were younger. This helps their children by creating a balance in both their internal and external worlds and with their new emotional intelligence, they can show them how to FEEL rather than have them numb out to their uncomfortable feelings.      

Tara runs classes, workshops and also works 1-1 both in person and online.  
Using a holistic approach incorporating all of her modalities creates a powerful and highly effective way of healing past traumas at root cause.  

Her approach to healing through coaching starts with nervous system regulation and rebuilding that mind body connection. This increases coping capacity and emotional flexibility so that trauma processing and release through her SELF Elevation methods is not so overwhelming. Afterwards what slots in perfectly is some science based positive psychology interventions to map out the future empowering clients to thrive and go on to live the life that they long for.  

Tara is also very spiritual and brings this to her work to really awaken the spirit within and enhance the journey of self discovery.
