Hi there!

I’m Tara Jones

Breathwork Facilitator. Transformational Coach. Massage Therapist. Wizard behind Makia Rising. Intuitive Artist. Flower Child. Connection Junkie.

The heart of my work is about guiding people “home” to themselves.

I am so glad you found me.

I believe that transformation starts from a positive frame of mind that "we are not broken." And believe me, the process of coming to this realization has been my life journey…

I wasn’t fully conscious of it, but losing my mother to cancer as a teenager was like losing part of myself. I had a dark hole inside myself that never felt complete. So, I did what all young people do and I tried to fill it with partying and one unavailable relationship after another. My grief was like a hollow pit, and I chased the highs of love to “feel” whole again. I learned to live with my heavy feelings and became very good at hiding behind a smile.

For years I sought different healing modalities from therapy to becoming a devoted meditator. Each placed a path out in front of me, but the DARK feeling lingered because I was still coming from an “I am broken and need to be fixed” perspective…I just didn’t know it yet. And then, years later when my marriage crashed down around me (my one true security blanket), I finally knew my choice was choiceless. I had to bravely look in the mirror…

Then I found Breathwork and worked with a Transformational Coach.

It was then I started penetrating old beliefs and stories I was telling myself. It only required my breath, surrendering control, and the willingness to witness my pain. And a whole lot of bravery and curiosity to dig deep.

Every session I peeled back layers of memory and emotion, shocked at how much grief, anger, and shame was stored in my body.

Slowly, with a lot of work and support, my dark hole started filling in with LOVE and FORGIVENESS and ACCEPTANCE. 

This time though, it wasn’t coming from the outside, but coming from the loving awareness inside myself that had always been there…waiting.

This made all the difference!

My perspective changed from “broken” to WHOLE. Now I have much more patience and compassion to deeply love all the cracks and bruises that I received from this crazy ride we call LIFE. And I love it all! I am no longer afraid of my darkness but have learned to embrace all shades of myself.

This is my gift that I want to share with you.
