The moment my first class started I knew that this was going to change my life forever. I love going to work every day knowing I've helped someone relax, heal and rejuvenate themselves.”

Tara Kurowski
Where you would go if you could travel anywhere right now?
I’m actually about to go to the Bahamas for my 25th birthday in a week! So that’s currently my #1. But anywhere super romanticized like Italy or Greece would be amazing to just walk around and eat good food.
The most embarrassing thing that has happened in the treatment room?
I totally forgot this happened until I read this question! I was cooling off a hot towel, about to drape it over a client, and I accidentally let go of one end and it smacked them in the face! We laughed it off but I remember being so mortified.
The last song you played on Spotify?
I absolutely have to listen to full albums in order, so I’m cheating with this one to shout out my current obsession “The Kids Table” by Avery Lynch. I love any music that captures a feeling perfectly.
Your guilty pleasure TV show?
I’m sure everyone says this but reality TV is so fascinating to watch, mostly because it takes a very specific personality to want to be perceived by millions who then can give their opinions about you online. It’s my absolute nightmare but so fun to watch. Also, Girl Meets World is a comfort show of mine!
A strange talent that you have?
Not sure how strange, but I got really into making beaded jewelry not too long ago! I taught myself how to make little flowers and intricate patterns and it’s now such a fun hobby for me. Definitely reminds me of craft time as a kid!

Suddenly I’ve forgotten everywhere I’ve ever been? (Incoming sappy answer) The best place I’ve ever been is my home! It’s most important to me to have a sanctuary and somewhere I feel safe and comfortable. My current home has my dog, my family, and all of my favorite things!
What would you pick if you won a sweepstake that gave you a lifetime supply of anything you wanted?
Definitely Yerba Mate, specifically the Revel Berry flavor. It literally got me through Esti school, and I still order it in cases 3 years later. I’m probably their #1 customer.
The celebrity you’d most want to take on a date?
I feel like the only person in the world who doesn’t have a celeb crush! But I’d let a rich celebrity buy me dinner and take me shopping…Maybe.
The first thing you’d buy if you won the lottery?
The obvious answer is of course funding my dream spa! But I’d also definitely open an animal sanctuary as a passion project. I would give allll my money for dogs and cats to have safe and happy homes!

Ha! My facial table of 5 years broke immediately when my client laid down on it for her facial. I heard a loud crash so I quickly came back in the room and all I saw was legs up in the air and my table on the ground sideways! She was laughing and thankfully she was not hurt but I felt my cheeks get hot from such an embarrassment because she was also stuck between the bed and my trolley! I had to help her up from off the ground. Ugh (face palm)!

Where you would go if you could travel anywhere right now?
If I could travel anywhere right now it would be to Togo, Africa. These last few years I have been sponsoring a beautiful little girl who lives there and although we write to each other often, I would love to meet her in person.
The most embarrassing thing that has happened in the treatment room?

A strange talent that you have?
A strange talent that I have would be that I’m very good at braiding any type of braid. Ever since I was younger all I had to do was just see a picture of a braid and I would learn how to do it right away. In high school I used to have so many people ask me to braid their hair during school hours.
The best place you’ve ever been to?
The best place I’ve ever been to is Puerto Rico because it’s home. As someone who was never born there but has a father who is Puertorican and a mother who is Dominican, the feeling I feel when I’m there is indescribable. I’ve been to many places that are stunning but Puerto Rico is that one place that I don’t need to visit beautiful views, I just have to step foot on the island and I automatically have peace and feel so loved. I would call it my safe haven. I think that’s why it’s the best place I’ve ever been to.
What would you pick if you won a sweepstake that gave you a lifetime supply of anything you wanted?
If I won a sweepstake that gave me a lifetime supply of anything I wanted, I would choose lifetime supply of cruise vacations. I LOVE taking cruise vacations. Being in the sea without service and just having a great time with the company your around is the best feeling!

I was so tired after having 4-5 facials back to back with no breaks.
I sat on the floor of the treatment room for literally 3 minutes and woke up with my loud snoring!
Luckily it was fast and I don't think the client noticed,as she was very relaxed on her bed. But I was so scared and embarrassed!!!!

Your guilty pleasure TV show?
To be honest I love Brazilian Soap Operas!!! It brings me back to my roots, makes me laugh, cry... and uses my imagination. I look forward to watching it every night.

Not exactly a talent but definitely strange! - I can twist my tongue and make some crazy moves with it!
People say that it is related to genetics, I am not sure about that but it's definitely weird!

More than the place itself - But the people that I was with.
I went on a cruise to Europe and the Middle East with my father, my two daughters and my husband.
We visited Italy, Greece and Turkey.It was the last trip I did with my father, it was unforgettable!
