Hello

Tara McCallam is the founder and creator of The Academy of Being, The Art of Being Certification and The Muse Method. She is an educator and Personal Development Facilitator using the tools of The Art of Being.

The Academy of Being is a digital platform dedicated to helping individuals discover their purpose, talents, and the ability to leverage these in both personal and professional relationships.

Tara, the founder of the Academy, is a mother to two teenage boys and a Yellow Lab named Lucca. She has a blended family with her love and partner, Joe.

She holds a Bachelor's degree in Art with a minor in Sociology, and has earned several coaching certifications. Now, she certifies facilitators in the Art of Being.

The creation of this online academy and the unique Art of Being Certification was greatly influenced by Tara's years of client work. She realized that she could offer more than just problem-solving, trauma release, and mindset shifts. Her clients' experiences and their willingness to try new processes led to transformative changes that went beyond traditional methods.

From these tangible results, Tara developed a year-long certification program to teach individuals worldwide how to use these transformative techniques. At the heart of this program is The Muse Method, a revolutionary approach designed to foster a deeper connection with the Self.

Tara has been described by many clients as 'sunshine', but she believes that she is merely the vessel that brings the sun, warmth and shine out of the client and so they finally feel what it is to be it and to create their lives from that natural place of being.

About Our Work Together

What if the missing piece in your life wasn’t another self-improvement plan, mindset hack, or quick fix—but you, fully aligned and thriving?

I’m Tara McCallam, founder of The Academy of Being, The Art of Being Certification, and The Muse Method.

I help strong, resourceful, resilient women who have been through a lot—whether it’s surviving trauma, growing up feeling like they had to conform to keep the peace, or always being the one others rely on. But now, they’re exhausted, feeling disconnected from the people who matter most—their families, their partners, and even themselves. My work is about helping you rebuild those bridges and create deeper, dreamier connections that feel real and safe. (Many parents have asked me to work with their teens and young adults as well because this work of self-discovery transforms anxiety, a break down in relationships and a lack of motivation that affects grades and their future)

And trust me—I get it. I’ve had a wild ride myself.

I became emancipated at 15, moved to England for six years at 24, and nearly died from HELLP syndrome when I had my first son. I’ve walked through the wake of infidelity and divorce, rebuilt my life, and now, as a mom of two incredible teenage boys, I’m continually inspired by them every day. I also found my best friend, biggest inspiration, and greatest supporter in my partner, Joe. We navigate life as a blended, out of the box family.

I left a stable job to create a dream career that has led me to work with the most spectacular people—many of whom were suffering but found their way back to themselves, bringing sparkly light and magic back into their lives.

I’m also an artist at heart, with a degree in Fine Art and Sociology, and I believe creativity is a vital part of healing and self-expression. Music fuels my soul—I love everything from 80s hits to jazz funk like Lettuce! You’ll find Al Green, Brittany Howard, and Red Hot Chili Peppers on my playlists. I adore the mountains, I’ll never turn down a sweet coffee (though I’m doing my best to cut out sugar), and I love connecting with people on a deep, soul level.

In my work, I use the magic of Human Design to help clients understand themselves and the people around them so they can build relationships that actually work. I also channel your Muse which allows you to connect to your purpose, desires and most streamlined way forward.

I help you navigate your emotions—and the emotions of those around you—so no one feels steamrolled, shut down, or lost in the chaos. Instead, you learn to communicate in ways that create peace, connection, and mutual support.

My clients often tell me that working with me feels like having sunshine poured back into their lives. But the truth is, I’m helping you find the light that’s already there. My role is to guide you to see it, feel it, and create from that place of authenticity and connection—whether it’s in your relationships, your family, or your own sense of self.

If you’re ready to shift from depletion & frustration to empowerment and rebuild those bridges to deeper, dreamier connections, let’s make it happen. 💫
