When Tara Green decided to open Green Tara Wellness Center in Plymouth, she wasnt trying to get cute with the name. OK, maybe she was just a little, but her companys title actually has another, more significant meaning.

"Green Tara is the Hindu goddess of compassion," Green said. "Were not a religious organization, but we are spiritually based. We bridge traditional mental health services with alternate therapies to provide an integrated approach to wellness. We encourage people to make a physical, spiritual and emotional connection to find healing and inner peace."

Located at 147 Court St., next to Christ Church, the new center offers a variety of programs, including breath work, psychological services, health coaching, reiki, intuitive energy healing, acupressure, oracle card reading, Ayurvedic therapies, infinity healing, essential oils and more.

Green Tara Wellness Center opened in September with practitioners from around the South Shore. Green wanted to create a place where likeminded specialists could provide a variety of therapies to help people find the medical solutions traditional, alternative or a combination of the two that work best for them.

"We are a group of heart-centered professionals that have come together a as team to help people with their issues," she said. "The common thread is that we are all kind and compassionate people working together to help others transform and heal."

Green said her team can help individuals and families with a range of health issues by working on the connection between

mind, body and soul. This holistic approach integrates modern medical practices to help people achieve maximum wellness.

"One of the areas we specialize in is PANS, or pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome," she said. "This is an autoimmune disorder that often affects children and is usually caused by a virus or bacterial infection, such as strep or Lymes disease, that have triggered this response and often goes misdiagnosed and mistreated."

To treat PANS, the professionals at Green Tara Wellness Center work in concert with traditional health professionals to help the child. A regimen of antibiotics coupled with alternative therapies is often used to reverse the illness, which can cause children to exhibit a variety of neuropsychiatricsymptoms, including obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, ADHD behaviors, personality changes and sleep disorders.

Green Tara Wellness Center offers a range of services and workshops. There are 10 practitioners based at the Plymouth location:

"We believe in living a life full of joy, gratitude and compassion," Green said. "We focus on helping clients better connect to themselves and to live vibrantly so they can achieve healthier bodies, minds and spirits."
