Hi Friends!

​

I’m Coach Tara—a nature-loving pharmacist, health coach, and personal trainer with over 20 years in healthcare including extensive experience in the diabetes education arena.

​​

Raised on the shores of Virginia Beach, I was a hippie child, running barefoot on the beaches and splashing in the waves without a care in the world. The great outdoors was liberating to me then and still is today. Nature is my grounding force. My partner who has never once left my side, and who reminds me how connected we all are, not just with fellow humans, but with all living things. 

​​

My hopes are to share those important nuggets of wisdom that I have soaked in over the years in my books, journals, and patient stories and pair that with one of the strongest forever partners you can have-nature. And when you really know how to tap into her powers, you will finally be able to exhale and shed whatever is weighing you down and soar in ways you never thought imaginable. 

​

Nature has been my steady companion and teacher through life’s chapters, from motherhood’s joys, to overcoming the guilt of a divorce, to managing my exhausting journey battling an autoimmune disease. Whether you are experiencing joy or suffering, nature rocks! (No pun intended ;)) And, when you pair nature experiences with nourishing foods, fun fitness, and spiritual nourishment, you have a winning recipe for life. 

​

Now a Surf City local, I bring these Nature Transformations to the beautiful coastal and woodland spaces of Surf City, Holly Ridge, Sneads Ferry, and Hampstead. These nature-rich settings provide the perfect backdrop for conversations and reflective walks that inspire clarity, peace, and progress.​ Whether we are walking along the coast, pausing under the shade of an oak, or finding a moment of reflection with the sunrise, nature becomes our co-coach, offering grounding and inspiration on your path to wellness.

​

Let's SOAR my friends!!!

​

Wishing you Smiles & Sunshine,

Coach Tara Kompare (Aka "Dr. T.")
