Meet Our Team

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. She graduated from the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in December 2020.

After a couple years working in the insurance healthcare model, Tara began to realize that insurance companies were negatively impacting the service she was able to provide to her clients. She was routinely witnessing things like benefit maximums leading to premature discharge, poor reimbursement rates leading to multiple patients being seen at a time, and prioritization of intervention based on reimbursement rate over what was indicated for the unique individual. Frustrated with the limitations imposed by insurance companies, she decided she could provide superior care and a true transformation of her clients’ lives if she were to branch off into the fee for service (ie. cash pay) model – thus Revitalize Athletics was born.

Tara is passionate about providing each and every one of her clients the opportunity to achieve the adventurous lifestyle they’ve always imagined – regardless of pain and/or injury. She herself is passionate about living an active and healthy lifestyle and enjoys skiing, hiking, camping, playing soccer, and pretty much anything that gets her outdoors. Clinically, she has a special interest in return-to-sport rehabilitation and enjoys treating skiers, snowboarders, golfers, hikers, runners, and soccer players. When she is not exploring the wonders of the Rocky Mountains or treating clients, she is probably curled up at home reading a good book, watching a good TV show, or cooking a new recipe.
