Testimonials
“As I sit here on the eve of the eve of my life-long dream, I’m quite convinced that if it weren’t for Tara I probably would have chickened out at the thought of quitting my dream job to travel the world last year. Instead, I have a one-way ticket to Lima in 36 hours and for the next several months, or years, of my life I will be joining the “tribe” of vagabonds and traveling the world solo. Simply put – Tara is the lightning in a bottle we all need. She will help you figure out a way to say “peace out corporate america” and break away from the chains of smelly offices and jobs you hate or even adore for a journey of significance. She gives you permission to scream at the demons in your life, giggle like a schoolgirl at your accomplishments and teaches you how to learn to trust yourself so your trip becomes everything you want it to be. Call Tara and before you know it, the mountain in front of you will soon be a bump behind you on a road in Peru, Africa, Nepal or anywhere else your wanderlust soul craves. It’s a big world out there, so hurry up – life is too short to wait for the future.” – Katie S.
“Tara, I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with your coaching. I can barely believe that I am currently taking a 12 month career break and have just returned from a trip through Cambodia which was the most amazing experience. Before this, I had been working flat out for 25 years and figured I deserved a break – it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I went to Cambodia with the following in mind: “Can I learn to judge the quality of my day by how much I have noticed, rather than by how much I have accomplished?” The coaching work we did around setting those types of intentions has made a huge difference.” - John K.
“Tara is wonderful! She coached me for about 5 months in 2008. She was instrumental in getting my business organized enough for me to leave and take a 7 week trip across Asia. Tara provided great leadership and encouragement. My business became a well working machine because of Tara. Now I’m ready to take another multi-week trip!” – Dan M.
“With 2 top business degrees and a successful 7 year career in Brand Management, I took a year off to live in Spain. Everyone thought I was crazy to leave a great career (even just for a year), but I knew it was right. Over the course of the year I learned Spanish, traveled around Spain, Europe and Morocco and met my husband. We moved back to the States together and I came back energized, in love, bilignual, and with many more career options (more because I had shifted my perspective, not for any particular skills that I acquired). I’ve transitioned to flexible freelance work and I’ve also gotten certified as an ESL teacher. This past summer, my husband and I took time off which included teaching ESL in Poland. Another amazing experience! I couldn’t have done it without you.” - Kelly A.
“Tara, Thank you for your high energy and exuberance. Your profound insights have truly changed me. I feel awakened.” – Jirapon R.
“Sometimes when we’re going through a transition, weathering an upheaval, or just trapped in our own inertia, it helps to talk to someone. It especially helps if the person isn’t necessarily a best friend or family member but rather someone unbiased who can take us firmly by the elbow and guide us when the path ahead looks a little sketchy. Tara gets my vote for the person in San Francisco to talk to. Several months ago, having just accomplished a monumental personal and professional life dream, instead of feeling celebratory, I felt confused and weird. Tara was able to snap me out of my funk in just a few sessions, offering practical, wise, compassionate, funny, nonjudgmental advice that truly resonated, and she helped me see that what I was experiencing was a normal and temporary aspect of my career. I highly recommend her as a coach. She’s easy to talk to, easy to listen to and more than anything, she’s easy to hear.” – Lavinia S.
“You are a bomb of energy. And one hell of a coach.” – Daniel R.
“Tara is one of the most compassionate and caring people I have ever met. A while ago, I went through several major life changes including getting laid off and moving to the opposite end of the East Coast. Tara coached me through the layoff and was supportive of my big move. She encouraged me to do what was best for myself rather than give in to the pressure of what others wanted me to do. During our coaching sessions she has helped me see the bigger picture and to focus more on my end goals as opposed to that which is holding me back right now. Recently I got engaged and started planning my wedding (a positive life change!) Tara has been there for me to bounce ideas off of and to help me deal with the stress of planning a wedding. She has even coached me around how to approach unsupportive family members – how to express my feelings surrounding their behavior, etc. She is clearly passionate about coaching and strives for excellence in her field. I would absolutely recommend Three Month Visa to anyone who needed help planning long-term travel (her budgeting ideas are amazing!) or to anyone who just needed someone to help them through life.” - Kelly C.
“I liked your coaching style, it was very upbeat and full of supportive energy and I found it refreshing and energizing! I want to thank you for being so supportive…I feel like I’ve accomplished so much. You are a very loving and compassionate person and have deeply affected my life. One of the many pearls I have learned from you is to allow myself to take the space and time to do what my heart truly is telling me to do.” – Janet M.
