Tarra is a practitioner deeply committed to creating a safe, thoughtful, and collaborative space where those she works with feel supported and confident in their body’s innate capacity to heal.
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, her approach recognizes the body as a dynamic and intelligent system capable of returning to balance when given the right support. Rather than chasing symptoms, Tarra identifies underlying patterns and works alongside the body, offering targeted support so that it can recalibrate and restore harmony from within.
Whether someone is navigating pain, digestive concerns, stress, hormonal shifts, or seeking a boost in aesthetic confidence, her goal remains the same: to support meaningful, sustainable change in a way that feels empowering and lasting.
Tarra is a Registered Acupuncturist in British Columbia, a Doctoral Candidate in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a member of the ATCMA. Her relationship with this medicine began at age twelve, when acupuncture helped resolve chronic injuries from competitive gymnastics after other approaches had failed. That experience sparked a lasting respect for the quiet efficacy of traditional medicine and a deep curiosity about how the body restores equilibrium when supported through time-tested principles.
Committed to a lifetime of learning, she continues to deepen her clinical knowledge and refine her approach through ongoing study. Traditional Chinese Medicine offers a depth that reveals new layers the more closely it is explored, inviting both humility and sustained curiosity. Drawing from classical foundations and contemporary clinical insight, she thoughtfully integrates this evolving understanding into her practice.
Tarra divides her time between the vibrancy of Vancouver and the quiet of Pemberton. When not in clinic, she can often be found walking along the river with her partner and their dog, collecting stones and enjoying a sweet treat from the local bakery. Slower rhythms and small rituals are the magic that helps keep her anchored in this beautiful and wild world.
