A practice built at the intersection of addiction and the body
Radiant Flows was not adapted from a general wellness model. It was designed from the ground up for people in recovery — including those navigating court referrals, reentry, and relapse.
Familiar with the systems. Trained in the body.
Tara came to this work through direct contact with addiction recovery systems — not around them. That familiarity shapes every session: what shame feels like in the room, what relapse actually costs, what the body holds after years of substance use. This unique perspective allows her to connect with clients on a deeper level, understanding their struggles not just theoretically, but as someone who has witnessed the harsh realities of addiction firsthand. Through her compassionate approach, she fosters an environment where individuals feel safe to open up about their experiences, and together they explore the complexities of recovery. Tara believes that healing involves not only addressing the physical aspects of addiction but also the emotional and psychological scars that linger long after sobriety is achieved.
Somatic yoga training was added not as a complement but as a necessity — because talk therapy alone sometimes cannot reach what the nervous system has encoded. Both tools can work in harmony, providing a more holistic approach to healing and personal growth. Incorporating body awareness and mindfulness through somatic practices allows individuals to tap into emotions that may be stored within the body, fostering a deeper connection to self. As a result, this multifaceted approach not only promotes mental well-being but also enhances physical health, ultimately leading to a more balanced life.
Trauma-informed yoga is not a supplement. It is half the treatment.
Evidence-based counseling addresses the cognitive patterns that sustain addiction. Somatic practice addresses the nervous-system dysregulation that makes those patterns so hard to shift. Neither works as well without the other — so we treat them as co-equal.
