Meet The Doctor

Tara was born and raised in Temple City, CA, a suburb of Los Angeles. She attended the University of California, San Diego, where she earned her undergraduate degree in Cognitive Science before moving to Denver for physical therapy school in 2018. She graduated from the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in December 2020.

As an outdoor enthusiast and former competitive athlete herself, Tara has always been drawn to working with active individuals. However, when she worked in traditional PT clinics, she saw a frustrating pattern—athletic people were given generic, cookie-cutter rehab plans that failed to prepare them for the actual demands of their sport. This led to high re-injury rates and longer recovery times, even for straightforward injuries. Determined to change this, Tara founded Revitalize Athletics in 2020—a specialized, mobile physical therapy practice designed specifically for mountain athletes and active individuals.

After several years working with active individuals, Tara began to feel there was a piece of the puzzle missing, especially when dealing with complex, chronic low back, SI joint, and hip pain. It was then that Tara developed a special interest in pelvic floor physical therapy, as she began to see the critical role the pelvic floor plays in stability, force transfer, and overall movement quality. After many hours of continuing education, she gained the skills to integrate pelvic health services into her practice, further enhancing her ability to provide holistic, full-body care. 

When she’s not working with clients, you’ll find Tara skiing, hiking, camping, cycling, running, competing in triathlons, or doing just about anything that gets her outside. When she’s taking a break from adventure, she enjoys curling up with a good book, watching her favorite TV shows, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
