Zen Coaching

Zen Coaching supports you in coming home to yourself—to your true nature—and explores how you can live your everyday life from a deeper place of connection with your authentic longings and desires.

The Journey Inward

Zen Coaching invites you to move away from the overactive thinking mind and reconnect with the intelligence of your heart and body. It is not about fixing or healing something that is “broken”; instead, it creates a safe, expansive container for deep witnessing and self-discovery. Here, the fullness and power of your true Self can emerge—because all parts of you, even the ones you may have resisted or ignored, finally feel seen and welcomed.

To go deeper on your inner or spiritual journey often means facing moments of discomfort. Zen Coaching offers gentle, supportive guidance to help you navigate these challenges with grace and self-compassion, allowing profound transformation to unfold naturally.

Zen Coaching: Come Home to Yourself

At its core, Zen Coaching is a heart-centred, present-moment approach to life and personal growth. It emphasises presence, empowering you to find your own solutions and embrace your YES to all of life, just as it is.

What is Zen Coaching?

Zen Coaching is rooted in the principles of Zen, mindfulness, and deep self-connection. It integrates a variety of transformative tools and practices, including:

  • Deep Listening: Creating a compassionate and nonjudgmental space to truly hear yourself.
  • Inquiry Questions: Powerful prompts to uncover deeper layers of your truth and wisdom.
  • Focusing and Inner Child Work: Gently reconnecting with vulnerable or neglected parts of yourself.

Influenced by the teachings of mindfulness, non-violent communication, the Diamond Approach, and the principles of modern coaching, Zen Coaching combines traditional wisdom with contemporary practices. Body awareness, emotional presence, and self-compassion are key elements of this approach.

What You Can Expect

A typical Zen Coaching session is about 60 minutes and is tailored to meet you where you are in your journey. Sessions include practices to:

  • Anchor yourself in the present moment.
  • Explore your longings and inner wisdom.
  • Cultivate acceptance for all aspects of yourself.
  • Navigate challenges and transitions with clarity and courage.

I offer packages of 5 or 10 sessions to support you in creating lasting shifts and deeper alignment with your true nature.

The Essence of Zen Coaching

Zen Coaching is about living from your inner truth, in harmony with life as it unfolds. It is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and connect with the infinite well of wisdom and peace within you.

What an amazing woman with patience and an amazing sense of peace around Tara, she is wise and kind and knows what she is doing, she has helped me find the right tools to look after myself and to remind myself the importance of life. Tara is definitely worth it and I'm sure you will be saying the same shortly after your visit with her!

Tara - thank you.  I am in tears again.  Tears springing from the truth and sorrow in your reflection and from the gratitude of being heard, witnessed and held.  Thank you for one of the most precious gifts I have ever received in my life.

Shirley

Wow Tara - beautiful, brought me to tears, thank you for capturing so well the experience I have quite frequently...really helpful.

Denise

Wow Tara, thank you. Feeling so seen. Yes! Thank you, really. 

Nora

A heartfelt thank you Tara for the coaching session yesterday, that "okay, you're allowed to feel like that" had a profound impact. Throughout the day yesterday, whenever I felt the horrible discomfort of anxiety - the knots in my stomach - I heard you saying "Of course you feel that way…" Immediately that I thought it, my mind recalled the way you said it, the slight emphasis on 'course' and your voice intonation…a sense of calm descended on me.
This is a precious gift.
