More is not always better, especially when it comes to managing prescription medications. As a clinical pharmacist for over 20 years with extensive experience in the diabetes education space, Coach Tara has helped empower hundreds of patients to improve their blood sugar, blood pressure, and weight with lifestyle management practices that are both natural and sustainable.
At Transformations with Tara, we bring wellness into the great outdoors with coaching sessions in green and blue spaces. The mere act of being present in nature has been proven to have a variety of health benefits including reduced blood pressure, improved mood and focus, and reduced stress and inflammation.
We collaborate closely with your healthcare providers, whenever applicable—keeping them updated on your progress and ensuring that any lifestyle recommendations align with your overall care plan. In the end, through combining nature with professional health and wellness guidance, your chances of success with achieving your personal goals soars!

Hi! I'm Coach Tara...
A Doctor of Pharmacy, nationally certified health coach, personal trainer, and diabetes educator with over 20 years in healthcare. After years of helping patients manage health challenges with medications, I’ve seen the transformative power of pairing medical guidance with lifestyle changes rooted in nature.
Through my nature-based lifestyle coaching, I help individuals improve health, reduce stress, and build sustainable habits using mindful eating, personalized fitness, and self-care—guided by the rhythms of nature. From sunrise beach walks to quiet moments under live oaks, Surf City and its surrounding coastal areas offer endless opportunities to reconnect with the natural world while working toward healthier weights, improved lab outcomes, and a better quality of life.
Whether we are walking upon the sand barefoot (grounding), practicing mindfulness by the water, or discussing nutrition goals in the salt air, my coaching meets you where you are to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we use nature as a collaborator to help you live your healthiest, happiest life.
– Dr. Tara Kompare, PharmD, CHC, CPT
My Testimonial:
I know firsthand how powerful nature can be in the healing process. Years ago, while managing an autoimmune condition, I faced fatigue, inflammation, and uncertainty about how to move forward. At the time, I wasn’t living by the ocean, but I found that simply walking outdoors—under the trees, along quiet trails, or in nearby parks—became one of the best medicines. Those daily walks brought physical relief, mental clarity, and moments of peace during challenging days.
Now, living near the coast, I continue to find deep support in nature, especially during flare-ups. Watching the waves roll in, feeling the ocean breeze, and witnessing the sunset over the water remind me of the steadiness and hope nature offers. It’s a reminder that healing is not just about managing symptoms but about nurturing the mind, body, and spirit as a whole.
This personal journey is why I am so passionate about helping others harness the power of Mother Nature to live their best, healthiest, and happiest lives possible. Together, we can discover how nature, movement, and lifestyle choices can support healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of vitality. Let's send you SOARING to your very own happy place!
