Meet Tara Herald
Co-Founder
Tara Herald, cofounder of Herald Health and Dr. Herald’s wife, is completing her training to become a certified health coach through the highly regarded Institute of Functional Medicine. Married for 26 years, Tara and Dr. Herald are the proud parents of four sons and grandparents to a granddaughter.
Tara’s journey to becoming a health coach was inspired by her own personal health challenges. She once struggled with multiple, seemingly unrelated health issues and relied on various medications that proved ineffective. Determined to find answers, she embarked on a path of self-directed research and trial-and-error experimentation. Through this process, she identified her unique health triggers and implemented lifestyle changes that alleviated her symptoms, ultimately allowing her to discontinue all medications.
Fueled by her transformative experience, Tara is passionate about guiding others through their own life and health challenges. At Herald Health, she plays a vital role by providing assistance and encouragement to patients, helping them follow the personalized health plans developed by Dr. Herald to achieve their wellness goals. Her empathetic approach and firsthand understanding of overcoming health obstacles make her an invaluable partner in the Herald Health mission.
