transform mind, body, and soul by weaving in the sacred through creativity and intuition.

Grief as a Portal for Awakening
Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. My practice was born from the belief that grief, pain, and life’s initiations aren’t just moments to survive, but sacred invitations to awaken more deeply to who we truly are. I see healing as a journey of remembering — returning home to the wisdom, strength, and wholeness that already live within you.
My work is rooted in a holistic and spiritual approach to mental and emotional wellbeing. I work with the mind, body, and soul as an integrated system, recognizing that true healing unfolds when all parts of ourselves are seen, honored, and held with compassion. Through a multidimensional framework, we explore not only thoughts and emotions but also the energetic and spiritual layers of your experience.
I weave creativity, intuition, and somatic practices — including movement, dance, and breathwork — to help you process emotions and release what no longer serves you. Together, we engage in shadow work and uncover limiting beliefs, supporting the integration of past pain and trauma so you can feel lighter, freer, and more connected to your authentic self.
In our work, I may incorporate energy healing, tarot, and astrology to deepen self-understanding and connect you with archetypal wisdom that mirrors your soul’s journey. These tools help illuminate patterns, awaken intuition, and remind you of your innate connection to universal life force energy.
At the heart of my practice are the values of sovereignty, empowerment, and liberation. I don’t see myself as someone who fixes or directs your path — rather, I serve as a guide and teacher, holding the torch as you navigate your own transformation. My intention is to offer a compassionate, grounded space where you can safely explore, expand, and reclaim all parts of yourself.
This is a space for those ready to turn toward their emotions with courage, to meet their grief with curiosity, and to live life with greater authenticity and freedom. My role is to support you in developing the tools and trust to move through life with awareness, embodiment, and self-compassion — so you can live a fuller, more vibrant life from the inside out.
If you’re feeling called to begin this journey, I welcome you to connect and see if this work feels aligned for you.
Hello! I am Tara Roland, a trained clinical therapist, guide, and teacher based in Portland, OR. Through the alchemy of grief and awakening, I’ve come to see that mental health is not a single thread but a vast, woven tapestry. My own journey through suffering revealed how our world often keeps us bound to cycles of pain—yet within those cycles lie the seeds of empowerment.
In many ways, I was my first client. “Earth school,” as I’ve come to call it, offers each of us lessons through both beauty and challenge, inviting us to shed what no longer serves and return to the sacred truth of who we are.
In my work, I honor every dimension of the self—body, mind, spirit, and shadow. Healing is not always gentle; it can ask more of us than the numbness we once clung to. But on the other side of that courage waits the profound reward: the reclamation of power and the freedom to truly live.
you are not alone.
social justice statement
The work I do is rooted in sovereignty, and works to actively dismantle systems of oppression through the examination of internalized belief systems. I recognize my identity inherently comes with privilege as a cis, hetero, able-bodied, white, woman. I’m committed to doing my own work, learn from you, and gently invite in feedback. This work is about confronting belief systems that no longer work for us as a collective.
