About Me

This is my invitation to YOU
— to explore a path of transformation through the power of presence, touch, and your body’s innate wisdom.

Follow the sound of my voice, the rhythm of my words, the beat of my heart, and the energy of my nervous system.

Where are we going, you might ask?
There is no outward destination, no goal, no agenda, no trying to fix or heal. Together, we return to the stillness and passion within you — a place of deep wisdom, rest, and aliveness.

I am Tara Rose, a Tantra practitioner, poet, and energy & bodywork specialist based in Cape Town, South Africa. My work blends ancient wisdom, trauma-informed bodywork, and meditation to guide you toward your authentic self. Whether through in-person sessions or online coaching, my approach is deeply grounded in presence, curiosity, and respect.

Tara Rose Profile 01

I have been a "seeker" for most of my adult life. Only to stumble across the fact that I am - I always was - what I was looking for. Since 1996, I have been on the path of meditation.

I am a student of Life - with incredibly curiosity and a love of learning. One of my strengths, that I honed as a freelance magazine writer, is that I love to gather information - you will often find me buried in a book, podcast or webinar.

More importantly, I know how to distill information and communicate it to others effectively. Currently I am immersed in body-oriented approaches to the healing of trauma in oneself and in relationship.

Your Journey with Me

The body can regulate and integrate what our minds cannot. My work honors the wisdom of the body as the most powerful tool in healing and transformation. Together, we pierce through the veils to see what is needed in each moment of our process, drawing on tools and teachings from the following influences:

  • Trauma Healing: Inspired by Peter Levine, Gabor Maté, and Bessel van der Kolk
  • Self-Discovery & Meditation: Vipassana Meditation, Zen Coaching, Isaac Shapiro, Almaas, and Jeff Foster
  • Attachment & Relationship Theory: Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, and Internal Family Systems

I am deeply grateful to my many teachers: Kåre Langfald, Richard Higgins, Zendrik van der Merwe, Liza Kimble, Keith Moore, Andrew Barnes, Valentina Leo, Kali Widd.
