About

Gina Tarara, L.Ac., MAOM

Acupuncturist, Massage Therapist, Herbalist, Energy Worker

Life takes us on numerous paths and I'm forever thankful mine led me to this work. Ever-learning and evolving, I am currently an acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist, massage therapist, cranio-sacral therapist, energy worker and developing intuitive. I listen to the body and work to create change wherever change is needed, whether it be mind, body or soul. The scope of the session can be as narrow or wide as you wish - one of the many reasons I find my workday so interesting and fulfilling.

I am blessed to be able to do this work and am honored to serve each and every client. We are all on our own unique journey and to be able to accompany another on their path, even just for an hour, is a gift. So thank you!
