Ostara Clinic

At Ostara Clinic, founder Tara Barden brings over a decade of experience in natural medicine, blending the wisdom of Classical Chinese Medicine with a modern, person-centred care.

Tara’s own journey through health challenges inspired her dedication to helping others find balance, vitality, and healing. She combines Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Cupping, Lifestyle Therapy, and Coaching to support not just symptom relief, but whole-person wellbeing. She recognises that the body, mind, and spirit are deeply interconnected. Whether you’re seeking support with digestive, skin, or hormonal imbalances, managing chronic illness, or navigating emotional overwhelm, you’ll find compassionate, tailored care designed to help you heal.

Chinese Medicine has been practiced for thousands of years, offering preventative care and deep healing through natural methods. In classical Chinese medicine, physicians were often compensated not for treating illness, but for maintaining the health and longevity of those under their care. This preventative model created a strong incentive to deeply understand the factors that promote health, prevent disease, and support recovery. Tara carries this tradition forward with warmth, presence, and trust in your innate capacity to heal.

For your inaugural visit, Tara will tailor treatments to suit your personal needs. This dedicated approach involves thoroughly understanding your individual health profile. As an integral component of the diagnostic process, she meticulously analyses your distinct set of symptoms. When you choose Ostara Clinic for your first visit, you can expect a comprehensive initial consultation accompanied by a personalised acupuncture session, a bespoke herbal formula, and a carefully guided plan.
