About Tara
Tara Sage Steeves
After earning a BA in Psychology from Providence College, Tara has spent over ten years in the human services industry, gaining extensive experience. As a behavior modification therapist and integral part of a treatment team for inpatient psychiatric populations, and as a member of an addiction medicine treatment research team at Brown University, she gained a strong practical & theoretical foundation in therapeutic intervention models and client needs assessment.
Deciding to integrate her commitment to client’s personal growth with her entrepreneurial spirit, she completed Coach Training through CoachU, as well as Graduate level business courses that earned her a certificate in the “Essentials of Business Development.” In 2004, she launched her own business offering coaching services that apply empowerment practices and behavior modification strategies to help individuals realize life goals and dreams for the future.
Create Your Life! offers three primary services: one-to-one coaching; retreats and workshops; and The Dream Party™, a personal trademark event that connects people to local dream realization resources within their community. The event is a unique, fun, transformative way of empowering attendees around the feasibility of a dream, while connecting local arts and business networks.
Tara is known in her community as an innovative leader and creative entrepreneur who specializes in helping people live their dreams. She is passionate about assisting others to set their ambitions high and live a life of integrity, demonstrated through dream realization and the alignment of work and play. She is a creative entrepreneur and strong advocate for self-employment as a tremendous platform on which to constantly evolve, design, and create your life. A self-starter and leader by nature, she thinks big, encourages possibilities, and honors individual wisdom and strengths. Her clients report results such as: increased financial freedom, greater balance in one’s personal and professional life, increased confidence in one’s direction, and a more fulfilling experience of life in general, often reaching beyond what initially felt comfortable or feasible. To every exchange she brings her dynamic personality, focused attention, and fusion of Psychology, Coaching, Business, and Holistic Health training.
Tara is also an experienced workshop leader. Her playful, empowering leadership style puts participants at ease and creates a safe environment for joyful transformation. She gently crafts each of her workshops and weekend retreats to offer a delicate balance of just enough structure, with plenty of freedom to become one’s own teacher. Like her individual coaching, these workshops focus on personal transformation and moving forward towards life goals and dreams.
Based on the ground-level success of two annual Providence Dream Parties (2006, 2007), action steps are underway to support her growing vision of The Dream Party™ reaching a national audience. In recognition of the success of The Dream Party™, Tara was selected to be highlighted as a dream realization expert in Chapter One of the book “The Sassy Ladies eGuide: How to be Successful In Your First Year In Business.”
Based on her passion for helping entrepreneurs succeed, she provides one-to-one expert assistance and presents seminars as an Entrepreneurial Training Program Trainer for UMASS through Fish Park Consulting. She is also a volunteer Board of Advisory member for other small businesses through Urban Ventures, a business resource for established RI businesses.
Tara lives in Newport, RI with her extraordinary husband, William “Rocky” Steeves, a professional horticulturist and beekeeper.
Let Tara apply her passion for harnessing the combined power of a holistic philosophy, individual gifts and strengths, authentic expression, and a plan of action in order to help YOU create more authentic, abundant, joyful living!
