Hi. My name is Tara Jones.
I created Makia Rising Wellness as an expression of my heart, which eventually evolved into a space to empower people to change, grow and show up however they need to be in the moment…raw and uncensored.
I believe that a life of balance starts from a positive frame of mind that “you are not broken.” This human experience can be an intense one, and no one goes through life untouched. We carry around tension, pain, fear, and outdated beliefs tucked deep in our bodies and nervous systems. Our bodies tell our story. It is our job to listen with compassion and care.
Together, you and I will co-create a road towards wellness. The breath, your body, and your spirit will meet you where you’re at and take you exactly where you need to go.
I am here to support and guide you every step of the way.

How the name Makia Rising came to be.
MAKIA - is a sacred word that comes from the Hawaiian language. One of the seven Huna Life Principles meaning “Energy flows where your attention goes.”
It is a word that holds a lot of truth because it really places the power in our own hands. What do you want in life? Where our mind resides is what we end up manifesting. This concept resonates with me so deeply.
Hawaii is a special place to my family. It is the home of my childhood. The softness of the islands forever shaped my heart and the Hawaiian wisdom forever shaped how I move through life.
Testimonials
“I had a beautiful experience with Tara for a Breathwork Session. She was present and attentive and explained the process to my level of comfort. I felt very prepared and in a safe and sacred space allowing my anxiety and emotions to move through me. She talked me through everything step by step. I have felt a sustained level of peace and happiness since my session and I can’t wait to book a package. She is the real deal for healing at any point in your journey.” -M.B.
“I have a lot of experience with breathwork practice and meditation and I was blown away by my experience in Tara's group classes. I was left with a profound inner stillness and clarity of mind that stayed with me long after the class had ended. I was able to go back to the place of peace more quickly and easily after each class I attended. Tara's wonderful presence allowed me to be excited about the process and comforted me in moments when I needed it. For anyone interested in learning to gain a greater sense of peace and clarity in their life I highly recommend you attend a breathwork session with Tara.” -JP. N.
“Tara Jones was amazing. My girlfriend and I did a Breathwork Session with her. She is a professional; you can tell she's done this practice for many years and it was life changing for us. I would definitely do it again and would encourage my friends and family to do it as well... we all deserve to heal.” -H.U.
“I’ve had private and group breathwork sessions with Tara and they’ve been powerful experiences. I have found breathwork to be extremely effective for accessing and working through deep emotional issues, grief, and trauma in the body and just letting go of whatever needs to be let go. Tara does a masterful job of creating a safe and supportive space to facilitate that process and I’ve left feeling lighter and more open-hearted. She’s authentic and you can feel the care she brings to her clients. I highly recommend working with Tara whether you’ve done breathwork or are just curious to give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.” - D.C.
“If you have not yet visited Tara - you REALLY should. It is an incredible experience. I wasn't so sure of what was going to happen when I went for the first time but I trusted Tara as she had been my massage therapist for years. And even now, I am not sure how to describe the experience - the after effect is like a beautiful warm spring breeze sweeping through and leaving a clean, calm, and centered space to relax into. It allowed me the calmness to see my situation clearly and with more compassion. I must say - I am addicted to the breathing therapy now!” -R.A.
