Today we’d like to introduce you to Tara Devi Ma.
Hi Tara, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Hello! I’m Tara, an Alternative Healing Practitioner and author. How I went from Pentagon War Strategist to Inner Peace Specialist, author and motivational speaker is a divinely enchanted one. I was working as a federal employee and was in search of a deeper connection with myself and my soul’s purpose. As beautiful synchronicities would have it, I was selected for a fellowship with the RAND Corporation in 2015. I spent 2015 -2016 living in Santa Monica which was a refreshing change from the energy that surrounds the Washington D.C. area. As with all things that are aligned for us, I met people in the Los Angeles area who supported my awakening. From meditation to Reiki, to crystal healing to hypnosis and essential oils, everything I had been curious about easily found its way to me during that year and assisted me in learning more about myself.
At the end of my one-year fellowship, I was reassigned to the Pentagon. I returned to the Washington D.C. area with a new outlook on life and an understanding of my purpose which is to educate, inspire and entertain others. I easily found myself sharing the numerous alternative healing practices with my co-workers and soon began incorporating mindfulness practices into my staff meetings and other meetings. I noticed how the energy shifted to calm and relaxed and allowed for the meetings to be more cordial and productive. This was especially needed and welcomed during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During my time at the Pentagon, I pursued many certifications as my thirst for more knowledge grew. In 2018, while still at the Pentagon, I established my company, Invigorate Your Essence. I began seeing clients during the evenings and weekends and it was then that I noticed so many are in search of purpose and inner peace. Understanding I was not meant to continue my Pentagon career, I took an early retirement in 2022 and started seeing clients full-time.
I also authored a book series and children’s book which serve to inspire others to live their most authentic lives. The book series is a semi-autobiographical look at my life and is entitled, “The Lady and Her Pentagon”. The Children’s book is entitled “The Adventures of Cleo and Sophie – Trip to the Moon”
My love for the Los Angeles area brought me back in 2024 and with more beautiful synchronicities I was led to the studio where I now see clients in Beverly Hills.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Things tend to align easily when we stand true in our purpose, and I can say for the most part it has been an easy journey. There have been some tests of faith as can be expected when stepping away from a secure six-figure career and into the world of entrepreneur. Some struggles have included learning the world of social media – something I am still learning. Also, being comfortable aligning my prices to my worth was a huge struggle. There are days when software glitches and other administrative tasks have been in overdrive. I like to say it’s okay to have the tantrum and then get back to it! It’s a wonderful way to cleanse our energy and there is a deep inner peace that comes afterwards.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Invigorate Your Essence?
My “why” is Inner Peace.
Invigorate Your Essence, LLC was founded to support others in awakening to their truest essence and discovering their inner peace. I believe in supporting from the inside out, Soul, Mind and Body. For only when the soul is healthy can we fully live! I do this by facilitating a holistic inner peace approach to well- being.
When a person taps into their inner peace, the way they perceive life improves. Some benefits include:
Positive outlook
Reduced stress
Improved productivity
Improved relationships
I incorporate an array of alternative healing modalities from the ancient Indian healing system of Ayurveda (a 5,000-year-old consciousness-based system of healing). Clients experience these modalities during their sessions and learn how to perform them at home. Practices learned can be performed any time of the day and benefits last a lifetime!
Clients are provided with tools to achieve optimum mental, physical, and emotional vitality (their personalized wellness toolkit).
What makes Invigorate Your Essence unique is I go deeper than helping you to achieve relaxation which is different than inner peace. We first start with diving deeper into oneself first, to include education on the ego and its effect on relationships. Then we reconnect you with your soul, the place where your inner peace awaits! Inner peace is a deep level of calm that is always with you even when you have one of those tantrum moments, you’ll find you return to deep peace within minutes!
I have completely transformed my life through the power of alternative healing modalities which supported my DOD career and personal life enormously. Additionally, I cultivated a positive, productive environment for myself, my co-workers and my employees by teaching them the modalities that brought me inner peace which yielded many accolades from Pentagon leadership.
My mission is to give back to others on a broader level. I have walked in their shoes, and I understand the stress, anxiety and burnout that occupies high-paced careers and how it can expand to other areas of our lives.
I support my clients with the following modalities and education: Life Coaching and Spiritual Counseling, Energy Healing, Sound Healing, Breathwork, Guided Meditation, Crystal Healing, Essential Oils, Affirmations, Visualization Exercises, Chakra Balancing, Mudras, Mantras, Yoga, Ayurveda Nutrition and Wellness Teachings, Hypnosis, and EFT & TFT Tapping Therapy.

Animal Support – Paws Healology is a special division of my company that supports dogs and their families with alternative healing practices.

What do you like and dislike about the city?
I love the diversity of Los Angeles! People from various backgrounds have been guided to this city one way or another and each one has a unique story that is inspiring. If I had to say what I like least is I’ve noticed many people are moving in an agitated state. I realize I see this easily because I serve as an Inner Peace Specialist. It’s heartbreaking to see and to know there is an easy fix to their stress which is deeply reconnecting with their soul.
