Your heart-centered guide in growth & healing
Tara Lynn Carlson, (MS CCC-SLP)
T L C is a heart-centered Holistic Practitioner who uses Integrative Bodywork & Soul Retrievals to help re-wire the nervous system & re-parent any of the body’s dysfunctional safety systems.
Tara has over 75 hours of direct training in MNRI® in addition to her certifications in Applied Kinesiology & Advanced Healing Arts. In these arts, Tara focuses on Heart Math & Compassionate-Mindfulness practices rooted in Shamanism. Tara also uses her neurological understanding of communication via her Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology to help her patients re-wire their patterns of self-talk. In all of these methodologies, Tara offers guidance to patients of all ages, including pediatric.
In her podcast, “Letters to Yourself”, Tara reads her personal journal entries & shares letters written to past versions of herself as a prime example of how to re-pattern the stories we tell ourselves. It is both a personal exploration and safe-space for her patients or anyone curious about her work. In addition to these works, she is a passionate guide & teacher in meditative practices, a host of women’s circles & a playful facilitator of ecstatic dance.

How can MNRI® help you?
During the MNRI® courses that Tara attended, it was not uncommon for one of the adult practitioner participants to have sudden and profound moments of processing within their emotional regulatory systems. Tara began seeing a friend also specializing in MNRI® for regular bodywork sessions to treat her own chronic anxiety & attention deficits. Within a few months, Tara felt her nervous system shift & remain at ease for weeks on end without needing to use all of her many tools that she had acquired over the years. Since this shift, Tara has been integrating MNRI® into the work she does with her clients to deepen her understanding of the nervous system. This work is unique & often doesn’t do well explaining itself via written word because of the melding of science & spirituality (sometimes referred to as energy kinesiology).
Allow T L C to take your nervous system to a place of safety while it learns how to stay there.
Tara’s ideal clients are adults looking to deeper their connection to their protective functions & take their nervous system out of its “on high alert” state permanently. She also works with children on the autism spectrum or similar sensory processing disorders, who preferably are in or have been in speech, occupational &/or physical therapy already. Tara sees children of all ages with moderate to severe deficits in social communication, feeding, attention & focus &/or language.
