The Restoration Specialist Who Transforms the Impossible

Tara has built her career on one core principle: everything can be restored to its highest potential—buildings, businesses, and the people who run them.

Her restoration journey began in the beauty industry, specializing in removing tattoos and correcting pigmentation issues, helping people restore their bodies after trauma. She then moved into architectural restoration, transforming a historic UNESCO canal house in Amsterdam (Prinsengracht 733) and a Dutch maritime heritage building in Veere.

In 2022, Tara took on her biggest restoration challenge: a dying 30-room boutique hotel on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast. With zero hospitality experience but proven restoration instincts, she transformed Almonds & Corals from an 8.2 to 9.1 Booking.com rating, increased employee retention from 45% to 95%, and navigated complex regulatory challenges that nearly shut down the property.

Today, Tara applies her restoration methodology to hospitality businesses throughout Central America, proving that when ancient wisdom meets modern intelligence, impossible transformations become inevitable results.
