Born to artists in Berkeley, California — a Filipino father and American mother — Tara was immersed in a world of creativity and possibility from the beginning. At just four years old, her parents took her to Burning Man, imprinting her with the sense that life could be lived as both art and freedom.

She graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas at 21, with a major in Film and minors in Mathematics and Business, before answering a deeper call. At 24, she moved to Hawai’i with only $1111 and a car, landing at Quepasana Meditation Foundation. There, she devoted herself to silence, sitting over 200 days in meditation — ten days each month — and evolved into the role of facilitator and creative director for this high-demand experience.

Tara later established her private meditation and coaching practice in San Francisco, creating a six-figure business within her first year. Along the way, she was shaped by mystical encounters: she was present during Ram Dass’s passing, received an astrological blessing from the priest of Bali, studied with Sadhguru, and experienced visions at Ramana Maharshi’s ashram in India.

Her journey has also carried her through shadow and healing. An overdose became a threshold — a sacred doorway into sobriety, renewal, and deeper study. From this initiation, she cultivated a devoted practice of the Akashic Records, and deepened her studies in Human Design, Western and Vedic Astrology through the paradigm of Geometry of Grace.

In 2025, she published her first book, Infinite Love in Finite Forms, which became an #1 Amazon Bestseller in 3 different categories of Poetry — affirming her devotion to bridging the mystical and the human through both language and leadership.

Today, Tara walks beside founders, artists, and visionaries as they weave soul with maps of consciousness — awakening them to the living art of life, and all that lives beyond.
