Tara Carpenter, CPES. NC.
Born in Tennessee, our family of 7 moved to Washington D.C. before settling in a seaside town south of Boston where my mother directed Harborside Montessori and my father an Architectural Database Engineer.
Our home life was rich in education and technology with kids and computers e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e; my favorite was the babies and preparing meals all could enjoy around the dining room table.
My plan was to teach at my mother’s school after gaining my degree in Early Childhood Education. Yet, I diverted to study nutrition, particularly the yin and yang principles as they pertained to digestion.
In 2011, I founded Happy Bellies to provide nutritional support for people with digestive issues and yeast/bacterial/viral overgrowth using Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.) along with placenta encapsulation for new mothers in Vermont with a traditional Chinese medicine method (TCM). See my full list of qualifications here.
Outside of work, I am happiest with my family and dog.
May all bellies be happy
