About & Testimonials

   Tara Xavier Wellness Coach

Wellness 'The state of being in good health, especially as actively pursued goal.'

Born to Portuguese parents, I grew up with a father who favoured western philosophies and a mother who favoured eastern philosophies. Having insight early in life to both perspectives has been a true asset. Only now looking back, I realise how key their diverse conversations and teachings have been to my current way of thinking and in fact my journey to where I am now.

As a young woman in London I had drive and ambition to achieve a successful career as soon as possible. I accomplished a lucrative career in the Media Advertising industry. After ten years I achieved my financial goals, traveled a lot of the world, had the most wonderful experiences, my life appeared very successful to the outside world but I didn't feel good. I didn't feel fulfilled or even interested  in getting up to go to work.

Feeling ungrateful and guilty that I felt so unsatisfied, I stuck it out for a while until one day moments before signing a permanent contact for the 'dream job' I realised, I did not want that job. I didn't sign the contract. In that moment I decided to make a change. I didn’t want to work twelve, fifteen hours a day, burning myself out for something that never felt quite right for me. I retrained and set up my own business in the health industry, an area I’m hugely passionate about. Years later I've worked with some of the worlds best athletes, people learning to walk again aged eighty, the most inspirational mothers, fathers and children, start up companies, established global banks, law firms, celebrities, experts in their field, every walk of life, ethnicity, and creed. Every person unique and brilliant in their own way. Each has taught me something about myself and helped me become a better coach, trainer and therapist.

I'm inspired daily by the efforts I see, the emotional journeys of self discovery, healing, the promotions, the business growth, the success on every level. There is no greater more fulfilling work than being part of someone’s journey to feeling, healthy, energised, happy and well. I feel honoured. Mostly I'm touched by how people remember me when they achieve something great. I've been privileged to be invited to awards, weddings, launch parties, plays, dinners and homes for a cup of tea! Each so special.

I believe that mental health is equally as important as physical health. I specialise in bespoke coaching looking at your unique circumstances, combining suggestions to help with both areas. I aim to help people find a healthy balance that suits them. We’re all very unique and what we need to feel well differs. My mission is to help people believe in themselves and be themselves. To ignite confidence and inspiration through physical, psychological and soulful wellbeing.

Now it's no bed of roses, the work required is challenging, commitment is required and there may be times of discomfort. Ultimately it’s worth it, the benefits to investing in your complete well-being are abundant. You may only see me for a short time in the scheme of things but the results are life long. I’m there to support you every step of the way. I'm present and committed to you.

I offer, my life experience, my expertise, my full commitment and it's all done whole heartedly. Change, growth, resilience can be challenging but it is possible. If you want to do/be/learn something, there is a way and together we can ignite a healthier, happier more balanced life.

I'm the living example.
