I want to partner with you in your healing journey to reclaim your identity

Hi there, I’m Tara Vanderbur!

I am a Certified Biblical Trauma Trained Coach through Nothing is Wasted Ministries. What does that mean? It means that I have been equipped with the knowledge and resources to provide trauma-informed guidance and support to individuals walking through and healing from their trauma.

But my journey to coaching is so much more than my training - it is deeply rooted in my own healing journey through trauma. I have navigated anxiety, depression, same-sex struggles rooted in low self-esteem and insecurity, emotionally and verbally abusive relationships, divorce, and the loss of dreams (including having my own children).

Along the way I encountered Jesus, and He has led me on a path toward healing. The most powerful part of my healing journey was reclaiming my identity in Christ - the identity that I lost sight of through my trauma. Ever since then, I have felt a strong desire and calling to use my own pain to speak into other’s lives (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

As a coach, you can count on me to hold space for you to process, grieve, and heal. You will be met with compassion and curiosity as you share your story. You will quickly see that I do not coach “as a job,” but as a calling. My heart will both break and celebrate with yours as we navigate your story. This experience will be a true partnership - one built on mutual trust and vulnerability, as God designed us for community and connection.
