About Me:
First and foremost, I'm a helper. All of my life, I have simply wanted to take away people's pain and show them that they have the power to create a life that is filled with hope, love, joy, and wellbeing.
I'm an empath, too, so the desire to heal people comes from the core of my being. I feel other's emotions, pain, and illness deeply, which was something I didn't know how to handle for a long time.
"All I have ever wanted to do was help people heal. That's it. That is what wakes me up in the morning."
- Tara Meyer-Robson
Not understanding how to manage my empathic gift and working WAY too hard (ignoring the signals that I was burning out) ended up in my getting mononucleosis at 29 years old. When I still didn't slow down (as the doctor instructed), it turned into chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), which found me almost unable to function. For a high-energy go-getter like me, this was almost unbearable. It was worse when a doctor told me it was "incurable," and I would have to manage it for the rest of my life.
Let's just say that I've never been good with authority or blindly believing anything. So, I decided not to believe him, and began researching everything I could get my hands on to get to the bottom of not only how to heal myself, but other questions I've had for years, such as:
- Why do some people have negative life patterns that repeat and repeat?
- Why do some people succeed, while others, doing the same things, fail?
- What is the connection between emotions, underlying beliefs, and specific disease, illness, and pain?
- Is our body trying to tell us something through pain or disease, and, if so, what is the message?

The Discovery (or How I Didn't Sleep Until Found the Answer to My Questions):
I tirelessly researched psychology, energetic medicine, Eastern and Western Medicine, religious texts, philosophy, and more for over 5 years, in the process, formulating a hypothesis to the true connection between our beliefs, our emotions, our energetic system, and the reality that we experience. My husband started calling me "The Nutty Professor," since I was awake night after night, pouring over books with pens behind my ears and scribbling notes with arrows that connected pieces of information.
It was only when, on a whim, I decided to grab one of my husband's quantum physics books that the final piece of the puzzle went into place. I was so excited at my discovery that I called my husband at work and babbled on and on at him; his response? "That's awesome honey; can we talk about this when I get home tonight?" (He was in the middle of a meeting.)
From then on, I began to use these discoveries to first heal myself, and then started to work with family and friends. When my beloved Gramma VA was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and tumors in her lungs, I used what I had learned to help her. Thankfully, she was open to what I had to say, and a miracle came when the three tumors in her lungs were no longer there, and needed no medical intervention. Her doctor was totally stunned, asking how in the world this was possible. My Gramma's answer? "Oh, it was my granddaughter." (Honestly, if this is all that I ever did with my life, I think I would feel like it was a life lived well; I don't think that there is anything that feels better than having helped someone you love heal.)
Bolstered by this experience, I started to work with more people to help them break negative habits and patterns and heal from pain and disease. To my delight (and surprise, if I'm truthful), I was able to help everyone that I worked with using my skills and The Flow Method I had created.
My Book is Born: The Flow: 40 Days to Total Life Transformation
I worked my tail off to finish up my book, and in September of 2007, my first book, The Flow: 40 Days to Total Life Transformation came out. I was encouraged by the positive reviews and delighted by the stories of people's success. Within a year, it became an Amazon Bestseller in 3 categories, and won two prestigious national awards.
I began teaching 4-Day retreats, an experience that I absolutely adored. Watching people heal and transform before your eyes is a humbling, awesome experience. I still am in touch with all the people who came through my retreats.
My Romanian Book Tour
In a twist that is still an amazing example of the things that can happen when you set your intentions right, one of the people who attended a retreat was, unbenounced to me, a translator for one of the biggest publishers in Romania. She carried my book back to them, and the next thing I knew, my book was translated into Romanian and I was sent on a 10 day book tour where I was interviewed by the "Romanian Oprah" on their national TV station, was interviewed on their NPR, and spoke in front of about 1,000 people for the book launch at the Bucharest Book Fair (an incredible experience). I also did mind-body sessions with many individuals while there; I'm not sure I can ever describe what helping someone half-way around the world feels like. Needless to say, it was an experience for which I am insanely grateful.
The Realization of a Dream: We've Adopted!
And (drumroll please), in August of 2016, we got a surprise call that we'd been chosen for a baby girl that had been born the day before! Three hours later, we were meeting our daughter for the first time. Needless to say, it was one of the best moments in our lives so far. Our little girl is the love of our life and keeps us very busy, to say the least.
The Loves of My Life
I'm so happy to be married to my soulmate, John, for the last 17 years; I really couldn't have accomplished much of this without him.
I love to travel, hike, dance, try new restaurants, work out, do yoga, find new answers to old questions, challenge the status quo, and watch the sunrise. My husband and I are always looking to go on new adventures, challenge ourselves, and aim to live life to its fullest.
Most of all, thank you for being here! I love to hear from fans, so please feel free to contact me via my contact form or click to leave a voicemail (via the little speech bubble on the side of the screen).
Let's get in the flow with the lives of our dreams together -
Much love, Tara
