Tara Krupich, LMT

Tara Krupich is a founding partner and co-owner of BodyQuirks in Portland, Oregon. She has been practicing massage and energy work since 1999 and is now the primary licensed massage therapist at BodyQuirks Wellness and Massage located inside YOU. Center for Health and Wellness.

 

 
 
 
 
 
Tara is a licensed massage therapist with extensive training in a variety of modalities including:
 
  • Medical massage
  • Deep tissue
  • Release alignment
  • Myofascial techniques (with work in somatic psychology and structured integration)
  • Ligament strengthening
 
Tara’s studies in eastern modalities have helped her to understand subtle energies (such as the meridians, chakras, and myo-muscular tissue) of the body better. But it is her uncanny ability to show people where their resistance lies (whether in mind or body) and to assist them in releasing it, is what led to Tara’s concentration in Emotional Release and Mindful Life Coaching.
 
This powerful, life-changing work allows her to see and feel the energy of stuck emotions or trauma and to help her clients release it so that their bodies can return to their natural state of perfect alignment, health, and well-being.

BQ Studio and WBV machines

In 2013, Esther and Tara discovered whole-body vibration and decided to add it to their massage therapy practice in an effort to help stuck clients overcome their long-term health hurdles. They followed that discovery with the opening of Portland’s first full-service WBV Studio in 2014. Though the studio itself is now closed, the benefits of WBV cannot be denied.
 
 
As Esther and Tara have found— when it comes to expediting the healing and rehabilitation of their clients’ core strength, balance, and vitality—whole-body vibration is the perfect adjunct to their seasoned, intuitive, and tailored approach to bodywork. This is why they continue to offer WBV demonstrations inside YOU. Center for Health and Wellness.
