"Being coached by Tara Meyer was an amazing experience for me!

I was coached by her for two competitions and for both of them she had a clear idea of my capacity all while continuing to challenge me! Receiving coaching by Tara was an unforgettable experience, everytime I walked into the studio she would warmly welcome me and then we would get to work! She challenged me to do things I was afraid of, in which I am forever grateful for as meeting my achievements and beyond was an incredible experience.

Outside of the studio, Tara is caring, compassionate, and nurturing; she reassured me that my hesitations with competition may be worked through and continue to encourage me even when I was running dry on motivation. She went through song choices with me in a way that met my interests all while meeting the demands of the competition.

She has an amazing ability to notice where I can improve and show me to how achieve my goals and problem solve through tricky circumstances! She will encourge you in every way possible, even ways you did not anticipate! In moments of self doubt she will lift you up and reassure you of your potential!

Tara has always been inclusive, loving, and warm as a coach and I would encourage anyone interested in pole or aerial to work with her! Tara is incredible!"
