It Takes Courage to Share These

My husband and I have been seeing Tari for over four years and I'm really grateful we found him. He has become such an important part of our growth as a couple.

I tend to get in my head and overthink things, so one of the things I appreciate most about Tari is how comfortable he makes me feel. He also has this incredible ability to understand what we're both trying to communicate when we just can't seem to get it across to each other. He somehow helps connect the dots and gets us to a place where we can really understand each other.

Over the years, we've learned so much about each other and ourselves through working with him. I always leave our sessions feeling like we've made progress and have something new to take with us.

I'm really grateful for the role Tari has played in our relationship and would absolutely recommend him to any couple looking to continue growing together.

Intimacy is something that is seldom talked about, especially among men, yet is a central part of most adult lives. It wasn’t until recently that I realized how difficult communicating about intimacy was for me and how much resentment I built up as a result. I felt stuck in my 17 year relationship — my needs weren’t being met and attempts to talk through it ended up in arguments. Rather than deal with the issue I tried to ignore it but slowly withdrew from the relationship to cope without even realizing. Anger and coldness toward my wife created a spiral of resentment we could both feel, but neither of us could stop.

I came across Closeness and was drawn in by the positive reviews. I’ll admit, though, after looking at Tari’s website I felt his services were a little (okay, a lot) outside of my comfort zone, much less my wife’s. I found the Closeness podcast on the website, though, and everything started improving. Tari touched on many emotions I felt but couldn’t verbalize, voiced the female perspective in a way I understood, and did so without making me feel shame for being middle aged and not knowing this stuff. My wife was shocked how well Tari conveyed the female perspective in a way even she couldn’t.

Tari started our first session by asking if either of us were carrying any resentment. He guided the conversation in such a gentle, caring way that both of us were able to answer honestly and discuss without an argument. I think that situation sums up Tari’s essence well — compassionate, intuitive, and experienced. The interactive coaching really takes things to the next level. It’s one thing to talk about building chemistry, but it’s another to do exercises and experience the energy it creates with your partner in real time. It was focused on the emotion and connection behind intimacy, as opposed to the mechanics of the physical act, and that was exactly what we needed.

I’m not normally one to write reviews (especially reviews that broadcast my intimacy issues), but I’m so grateful to Tari that I wanted to help more people find him. If you’re still reading, just book your appointment. Tari has helped my wife and I transform a relationship that was stuck for several years into one of love, empathy, and passion in only a few months.

I’m 21 years old and though I’ve known for a while that I could benefit from intimacy coaching, I didn’t truly start considering it until a few months ago. My sister met Tari through an acro-yoga class she took from him and recommended I reach out to him. I had no idea what to expect going into this and before my first meeting with him I began convincing myself that this was unnecessary and I should simply cancel. I listened to a few episodes of his podcasts and did a deep dive into his website and while he seemed very knowledgeable in his profession, I still had my doubts. I showed up to his office a bit skeptical but determined to get the most out of the experience, and Tari truly delivered.

I’m not good at talking about my emotions, intimacy or anything that will put me in a position of vulnerability, however Tari was incredibly patient while I gathered my nerves to open up to him. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who can create an environment that feels safe, comfortable, and non judgmental quite like he does; his calming presence goes past a professional skill, it’s clear that he fully embodies his teachings and has connected to his authentic self.

We talked for a lot longer than I thought we would, he knew how to guide the conversation when I felt stuck or unsure how to proceed and many times seemed to pluck from my mind the very words I was struggling to vocalize. We went through some exercises and by the end of the one session I felt like we’d covered multiple sessions worth of work. I left his office feeling much more at peace with myself regarding intimacy.

To say that Tari is competent in what he does feels like an understatement, he was clearly born to do this work and it was a true pleasure meeting him.

When it comes to intimacy and discussing my intimate relationship, I am an extremely anxious, shy, and closed off person. It is a topic that I have always felt uneducated, misunderstood, and unclear of my own wants and needs. My husband and I have been together for 12 years, married 5. Our intimate relationship has been a bit rocky for a few years now. After many attempts at individual and couples therapy, and doctors visits, nothing was working. I knew there had to be another approach and this is when the research started and I found Tari.

I knew after reading his website and listening to his podcast, he was someone I could trust. From the moment I reached out, he has been the most understanding, caring, respectful person with a gentle approach but also direct and straight to the point. He truly values your time and gets to know you, your wants, needs, and desires. Tari has a way of knowing the right questions to ask that leave you really thinking. His office is inviting, relaxing, and warm, making it easier to feel comfortable, confident, and safe. He is always on time, doesn’t rush, and most importantly, checks in between sessions.

After a few sessions with just me and Tari, I felt comfortable bringing my husband into this. Needless to say, he was very thankful and embraced every moment. Tari was able to break down those walls we both had, and communicate our thoughts in a way we both could understand. Tari doesn’t pick sides, and makes sure everyone’s needs are met. He guided us to find our true selves and what our TRUTH is.

Our relationship has never been better, and we cannot wait for what is to come. Everyone needs a Tari in their life!

Similar to many others who have left reviews here, I came across Tari’s website after finding myself in a difficult place and feeling like I had run out of places to turn for help. It was completely out of my comfort zone, but after reading all the reviews and listening to some podcasts I figured it was worth a shot. The intake form, however, was completely intimidating so I left about 90% of it blank not knowing what to expect to happen next. Nonetheless, Tari reached out to me the very next day and was very warm and welcoming, so we set up an appointment and I ended up going back and filling in more of the intake form before going in for my first session.

During the sessions we have covered a variety of topics from very difficult topics related to past trauma, to topics not even directly related to intimacy but just about navigating life’s challenges, to more fun and interactive topics when my husband and I have both been in session together. Tari’s approach is unique in that he is able to work through with you whatever it is that you are looking for and to do so with empathy and respect while still being straight forward and challenging you along the way with thought provoking questions, conversation, and insight.

I never thought I could get my husband on board with something like this, but it turns out we both got out of our comfort zones and these sessions are something we look forward to going to together and we are thankful for how far we have come in our relationship with Tari’s help.

As one who always reads reviews before committing to anything I find on the internet, Tari definitely lives up to all 5 star reviews!

I didn’t know what I wanted or needed when I sought help from Tari at Closeness, only that things needed to change. Having faced sexual assault, the end of my marriage, and the overwhelming landscape of online dating, I arrived carrying trauma and uncertainty, with little confidence in my sexuality, my desires, or my power.

Tari is a gentle, empathetic and giving soul. He listens attentively, observes carefully, and guides each session with a quiet confidence. His compassionate approach made me feel safe enough to be open and vulnerable. Together, we worked through difficult past traumas and explored how they shaped my sexual experiences and relationships. Most importantly, he helped me move forward with greater awareness, healing and strength.

I connected with Tari from our first session; his genuine nature and playful sense of humor created space for rich and varied conversations. I felt stronger, reconnected with my desires and prepared for the next chapter to begin.

Even while single, the benefits of my sessions with Tari were incredibly valuable. He is knowledgeable but not arrogant, always engaging with respect and authenticity. Tari very quickly picked up on my body language and helped me recognize how I present myself — both in daily life and in sexual contexts. With his guidance, I gained a deeper understanding of the nuances of sexual intimacy and expressing my own desires with a partner.

If you’re unsure where to turn for guidance on sex, intimacy, or relationships — or simply want to deepen your connection with a partner — Tari at Closeness is the guy to see!

After so many years of feeling as though there was little hope of finding that sexual spark with my best friend and husband, it felt like I’d been given a lifeline after we met with Tari and started to listen to his podcasts. Sometimes, while listening, it was as though he was in my mind, saying the things I’d never had the courage to say to my partner. In the in-person sessions, he was able to understand what each of us was trying to express and helped to translate. I think this is a rare gift he possesses. He hears you and understands you. As someone who has always been too timid to speak my mind regarding sexual desires, this was the help I needed — someone who understood me and could help my husband understand me as well.

My husband and I both felt extremely comfortable being vulnerable and honest with Tari. It gave us a safe space to share things that we’d been unable to express for years. Tari is genuine. He truly does want to help everyone in the room and it shows in his sessions. He’s honest and straightforward with his advice. He’s empathetic to what everyone is going through and feeling. His voice and demeanor are so soothing that you feel yourself opening up about sex without hesitation, even for someone shy like me.

My husband and I would walk out of each session truly seeing each other. Our sex life has been altered in a way that I’m not fully able to condense down to a few words. I can say that there’s depth to it, eagerness, and an openness to learn about each other that wasn’t present before. Something major has shifted since seeing Tari.

Good lord am I glad I found Tari. His work, expertise, and advice has pulled me up out of a serious rut of isolation and unmet desires. I was feeling invisible, hopeless. Within minutes of hearing him speak the truth about intimacy, desire, and closeness, I knew that I had not only found a detailed map of this critical information, but also an experienced guide to workshop the territory.

Tari has cultivated so much experience over so many years holding multiple perspectives — his and hers, and theirs, and mine, and yours, and his own — and he brings all of this to bear in service of the greatest intimacy possible, where everyone wins. And to truly benefit, you must be willing to be self reflective, to consider where you may be showing up out of phase, out of integrity.

I appreciate and respect his dead accurate descriptions, as though he’s reading my mind. I can honestly say that no man has ever before given a voice to my thoughts and desires the way he has. He genuinely knows what people (yes, especially women) want and feel. Upon meeting Tari in person I only grew to trust him even more, because he actually embodies everything he teaches.

Get ready to have your mind blown by the precision of what he is tracking and sharing. Brace yourself: here comes the actual truth, the salty humor, the irreverence, the grace. Most of all, get ready to see what you couldn’t see before and to untangle your BS so you can show up for yourself and your partner in a way that lights you both up like a firework show!

Being a military spouse for over six years, I knew there would be challenges. I prepared myself for my husband being away for 6+ months and relied more heavily on my family. What I didn’t expect was how much military life could impact my marriage. My husband came home from deployments changed, and witnessed things I could never imagine. Worst of all, he is lawfully unable to talk about it to keep the country safe. This led to many nights of few emails, calls, and video chats. I felt like I barely knew my partner or how to help him.

Over several months, I reflected on my family, abusive past relationships, being feminine, what I needed in my relationship, how I show love or don’t, my anxiety, and losing a family member. We went through it all, and it was challenging at times. I realized a lot of my habits in my relationship I learned from my family. Being the passionate personality I am, I brought in my family. My father, being a retired military and cop, is on edge, blunt and prickly with everyone. Tari was able to get my father to open up and laugh! This man barely shakes hands. I was blown away. Because of our session, my dad and I have been much closer.

Tari doesn’t take sides and is able to mediate when wires are crossed. I never left a session feeling emotionally drained as I have with counselors. His office has a comfortable and welcoming feel. All of this to say thank you, Tari. I look at myself now and see a different woman, someone I am happy with and love.

After four years of marriage and two kids in two years, my husband and I found ourselves stuck in a rut. We loved each other deeply, but we felt more like roommates juggling work and parenting than partners. We had tried traditional couples therapy together and individually, but we just weren’t making real progress.

A friend suggested we try alternative therapy, which I had honestly never considered before. After some research, we found Tari — and being able to schedule Sunday morning sessions with our busy lives made the decision even easier.

From the moment we walked into his office, we realized this experience would be very different from traditional therapy in the best possible way. The environment is private, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to create comfort and openness. Tari helped us communicate in a way that felt safe, non-judgmental, and focused on genuine connection — no blame, no scorekeeping, just understanding.

On a personal level, Tari helped me reconnect with my sensual side after years of pregnancy and breastfeeding, a part of myself I had truly lost. He helped both of us rediscover the closeness and intimacy we had before kids, and our relationship is stronger because of it.

We are so grateful and highly recommend Tari to any couple looking to reconnect. Five stars without hesitation.

My girlfriend and I came to Tari after talk therapy seemed to not do us much good. We learned some tools through the Gottman method, but we needed something more.

Tari was that something. I think he knows how to translate what both men and women are thinking, acting, and doing, and then put certain things into practice through exercises in intimacy and building a spark. He also exudes a relaxed, welcome, and non-judgemental energy that helps break down a lot of walls. I think the most valuable thing that Tari did was that his coaching style wasn’t based in a therapeutic methodology like talk therapy, and because of that he was able to basically call both of us out when we were being unreasonable with expectations.

We always felt amazing after leaving his sessions, and the fact that he seemed to care so much about our relationship really helped. A lot of therapists don’t follow up, don’t really think about you until your monthly session. Tari does.

I have to be honest here: as for us, our struggles in our relationship continued, but we did get tools that helped. Ultimately, I am not sure our relationship will work out, but Tari definitely seemed more valuable than regular therapy, and I will take many lessons from him into the future.

As a feminist in the Bay Area, Tari has really helped me better understand where men are coming from. His perspective on women’s issues is sensitive, open, sympathetic, understanding, and loving — but without coddling. His work holds women’s issues with such a balance to men’s issues, which has been really hard for me to find. I’m less afraid of interacting with men when I’m walking down the street, and I’m more confident interacting with the men in my communities.

Tari is powerful and strong, but also loving and sweet. I’ve been wanting to work with a male coach for a while, and Tari is the best I could have possibly imagined. He is so relationally skilled! I always feel so emotionally safe with him.

Calls with Tari helped me immediately. I had been experiencing ongoing trauma responses during sex for the better part of 9 years. After the first session, it dissipated down to almost nothing. He gave me super easy, common-sense tips that changed everything.

Pro tip: check out his podcast, “Closeness.” It primed me for the work and I suspect had something to do with the sudden cessation of the panic responses.

It is difficult to put into words the positive impact a few visits with Tari has had on my relationship. Our visits with Tari were empowering, enlightening, and invigorating. It takes a special person to be able to speak to both men and women about the intimate parts of their relationship, and Tari does it masterfully. He listens and he knows how to read people. Drawing on his experience and true passion for this work, he gives the right advice and instruction that is tailored to you. And the best part is that the advice he gives is multi-dimensional. It is applicable to several situations outside of what is discussed in a session. As the saying goes, “how you do one thing is how you do everything.” The same is true when it comes to relationships and intimacy. The learning and growth that can occur in one session is awesome. Guarantee you will find yourself thinking about the session for weeks after it occurs.

I know this topic is still a little taboo, but that’s also why I’m sharing my experience. Do yourself a favor and just try it out. Be open and vulnerable. You won’t regret it.

My boyfriend and I sought his services to iron out a few things that seemed to be topics too sensitive for us to delve into on our own, despite the fact that we have excellent communication and a very positive and well functioning relationship. Tari is a wonderful coach that really seeks to validate each person’s background, experience and world view in a non-judgmental, affirming way. Even in the first few sessions, his intuition and careful observations were spot on, and he helped my partner and I approach very uncomfortable topics with ease and sensitivity. Tari has given us very concrete steps each time to apply, so my partner and I didn’t feel vague or lost about what to focus on, and we could see and feel differences in our interactions immediately. Also, Tari offers such comprehensive support via his podcasts and is always quick to respond with feedback when we have a question or update. Whether your relationship is on the rocks or just needs a new spark, Tari has the experience and thoughtful consideration to address each person’s needs and bring out the best in both partners.

Tari has an incredible ability to translate what women want intimately into something men can understand and apply right away. He also helps women understand how to meet their man’s needs and desires too.

He is masterful at creating attraction between you and your partner in real time, which is a skill that I haven’t seen before and is unparalleled. He guides his sessions with a lot of care and consideration and never makes a partner feel less-than or inadequate — which in today’s climate, is pretty hard to do!

Couples are already in a sensitive position when they come in, so it’s reassuring to feel safe and even have fun and laugh in our sessions. The idea of having real world demonstrations can be a little bit daunting or embarrassing to think about, but somehow Tari is able to coach in such a classy and tasteful way, doing everything with full consent from both parties. It makes the whole process comfortable and exciting for everyone.

I’m really thankful for the coaching I’ve received from Tari over the years. Do not hesitate to invest!

Tari’s vast experience in the realm of relationships, along with his deep understanding of passionate sexual experiences, gives him a rich, tasteful and uncensored view into sparking or renewing your own relationship and sex life on all levels.

This comes through in his words, poise and expertise as well as his ability to see things that others simply cannot. Even the simple act of a walk through a grocery store, while in Tari’s presence, would immediately give you a tangible experience of how to increase your sensual magnetism as a man. It is uncanny how women are able to open up to him, and it’s fascinating how well he relates to the opposite gender.

Tari is an interesting combination of someone who is both very safe to receive coaching from as a man, while at the same time being able to activate strong sexual excitement within his clients, to help their relationship thrive.

He is a lifetime student of personal growth and development, an acrobat and dancer. I have found Tari to be both impeccable as well as someone who operates from a deep level of courage.

I invested in Tari’s coaching package as a gift to myself and my wife as we were nearing our anniversary. When we met with Tari for the first time, we were a bit anxious and uncertain of what he would ask and how we would feel. Within the first five minutes we were put at ease and could tell that Tari was a classy, heart-centered individual who has a passion for helping couples experience closeness and connection at the highest level.

My wife and I began to share stories of how we met, our history of ups and downs and our questions. Tari was a gentleman and guided the conversation into areas that we could explore safely while still touching on topics that we otherwise would never have had the boldness to approach by ourselves.

I have experienced many more coaching sessions since then and will continue to do so, as I am seeing amazing results in my marriage. Now my wife and I continue to discover things about each other that we’ve never known, even after years of marriage and multiple children. We are getting that spark back that we had before we had children.

Tari is an amazing coach on so many levels. First of all his communication style is second to none. He has dealt with so many of the topics that come up between couples of all types that you never feel judged and in fact, often feel uniquely heard and understood.

Although sex is often what we come looking to improve upon, a lot of Tari’s techniques are centered more around intimacy and work on creating a psychologically safe space NON-VERBALLY as well as with your words. Often when our relationships are in a turbulent place, we try to debug with conversation and active listening (a great and useful approach). However, this can sometimes get tedious and push us further from effortless communication and flow. Tari helps to guide our thinking and actions so that we achieve the holy grail: the innate ability to make our partner feel cared for and understood through our actions and the romantic situations we create with them.

Tari’s approach is holistic and targeted at the same time and I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Counseling and therapy can sometimes feel like a waste of time and money. So, walking into the coaching office definitely threw us off at first since my partner and I were clearly uncomfortable with where to even begin.

However, I’m so grateful for Tari’s ability to navigate emotions and our comfort level while making us feel as though we’d known him for years. I’m also proud of my partner’s ability to be open and honest! I feel that made all the difference in Tari being able to show me how to better understand what he needs, as well as what I need to reflect on and do differently.

The way Tari heard each one of us, helped us to respect and understand one another again and explore different ways to satisfy one another, in and out of the bedroom was so perfect and much needed! He truly helped us establish healthy, clear boundaries and showed us how we can show love in so many different ways. We left Closeness with renewed hope, excitement and passion that we thought we had lost.

Wow! Tari is amazing! I went in for a first session and I immediately felt comfortable in Tari’s presence. He is very calm, gentle, compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable, nonjudgemental, honest, warm and has a comforting presence. It’s fascinating how he can fully understand what message you’re trying to get across and be spot on and so intuitive. He is able to break down complicated situations in a way that is easy to comprehend and give you tools that are easy and effective to follow. Very down to earth and knows how to connect with the younger crowd and able to understand and navigate situations unique to today’s generation.

If you want to understand men, need help in navigating a relationship, want to learn how to build intimacy, or just plain take charge of your life and be a badass, Tari is your go-to!! Nothing is off limits, so express your heart out! I felt so relieved after our session and felt like there was finally some clarity and weight lifted off my shoulders.

Podcasts are very insightful and offer a different perspective for many to consider.

In person Tari has an innate ability to make you feel extremely comfortable and vulnerable in a safe space. Most women have a natural hesitation to share our feelings with men, well at least I do, but he made it so easy to open up and feel comfortable. He also is extremely honest, upfront, doesn’t beat around the bush and tells you what you need to hear but with so much natural compassion. He also takes an extensive amount of time to get to know you and really caters to what you are really needing and looking to improve. I truly believe he really wants to help you and is really there to help you achieve whatever goals you are looking to accomplish through this process. And unlike other traditional therapists he keeps in regular communication with you, voluntarily does regular check ups and genuinely makes you feel like he cares for you as a person more than just a client.

I always leave feeling incredibly empowered (and ready to try out the homework!) Tari is compassionate, intuitive, and genuine, and really wants everyone to feel closer.

My partner and I were struggling with intimacy and it began to spill into other areas of our marriage where we became increasingly frustrated with each other. We had been to several traditional marriage counselors who were not getting to the heart of the matter. Tari changed all of that within the first few minutes of our session — he asked both of us helpful questions, challenged us on our answers, and was a fair third party. He then moved our session from talking to interactive demos while moving at a pace we were both comfortable with. Tari understands what makes men and women tick and will read the energy and give you helpful, constructive feedback in real-time.

I have learned so much about myself in this process and I am forever grateful. Thank you, Tari.

Working with Tari has been such a wonderful experience. I would absolutely recommend his coaching to anyone seeking support in relationships, with physical or emotional intimacy, and generally navigating the waters of love and life. My fiancé and I met with Tari for premarital coaching recently. With the help of his advice and insight, within just a few weeks we were able to work through sources of conflict that had been unresolved for some time. Additionally, we have had so much growth in communication and deeper connections within our relationship. Tari is professional, compassionate, and easy to talk with about fragile topics. He has a calming presence that puts everyone at ease, and his open-minded perspective enables each person to feel genuinely understood. I look forward to more sessions in the future, and think the unique experience of this coaching is an incredible gift you can give to yourself and your partner. Thank you Tari!!

My husband and I were seeking a little guidance in elevating our relationship. It felt a little confusing to know who to turn to. As someone who pretty regularly invests in her wellbeing and professional life, this was something super personal that took some time finding the right person. Tari was actually the first person we spoke to and we decided to work with him on the spot. It was one of the greatest decisions we made for not only our marriage but our lives, especially during COVID times. Talking about the details in your relationship, sex life, etc. with a stranger can be a scary thing, but I’m so glad we spent the time and money to work through everything with Tari. We spent a total of 4 months together and my husband and I both agree that EVERYONE needs a relationship coach — because think about it, who else teaches you about intimacy? Reach out to Tari if you’re debating it, you won’t regret it.

One session with Tari helped my partner and I get unstuck in a conversation around intimacy in our relationship. Our starting point was already pretty good but the session with Tari allowed us to individually shift some of our perceptions and come back together being in a much better place. Tari did an amazing job creating a space where we felt safe and secure to discuss our intimacy and relationship. He was completely present and deeply listening to each of us beyond words. I appreciate his directness yet gentleness and ability to connect with us as complete strangers. I left very impressed with the fact that the one session made such a huge difference in our relationship. I would recommend this to anyone or any couple that is ready for complete honesty and is committed to each other in pushing forward and growing together in all aspects of their relationship. Thank you Tari!

Absolutely love it and love the coaching! I recently started listening to the Closeness podcast, and after the first one, I was hooked. I binge listened to the rest. I fell in love with Tari’s way of speaking, calm demeanor and personality. Having worked with him now personally, I can definitely say that Tari has a way of discussing uncomfortable yet relatable subjects with tactfulness, sensitivity and good taste. Not to mention his voice is so soothing and easy to listen to.

The relationship advice he gives, along with his take-home tools, are so scintillating and exciting! I loved how easy it was to apply them to my own life and relationship immediately. I also found his health and self-care advice inspiring. It makes me want to be a better person.

My recommendation: make sure to check out his podcast and make sure your man listens to it as well.

I was desperate to find someone that could help my husband and I with our intimacy issues, especially after the trust was broken when I found out he had an online affair. We started couples counseling with another therapist but the intimacy and communication issues were still not completely addressed. I found Tari and after reading his stellar reviews, I filled out the form online and he contacted me immediately the next morning.

Tari was warm and welcoming but also challenged my husband and I with questions that people are afraid to ask. He has a gift for reading people and he helped me understand my husband’s point of view and vice versa. I was surprised at how much my husband opened up. We not only received helpful bedroom tips but also tips on how to be intimately close in a non-sexual way. Thank you Tari for sharing your wisdom with us!

My husband and I came to see Tari after significant efforts to improve our intimate life. We’ve seen both a sexologist and a sex therapist, but neither got to the bottom of what was in the way of igniting that passion and spark. The great thing about Tari is that he’s not afraid of being candid and sometimes undiplomatic. The reality of sex and sexual desire is that it’s not politically correct and Tari understands that truth. He brought this ‘real talk’ to the sessions we had with him and combined with his very clear demonstrations we were able to tackle the issues that were holding us back. Since our 2 sessions with Tari, things have improved significantly and we look forward to continuing to engage him in the future again when we’re feeling stuck or in need of further coaching. Thank you, Tari!

Tari is THE BEST! I had been researching premarital counseling and intimacy coaching when I discovered Tari’s Closeness podcast. I was immediately hooked and thrilled to find out he offered in-person coaching. From the first communication Tari was welcoming and proactive in accommodating. My husband and I both look forward to our sessions, whether it’s a couples session or one on one. Tari has a superpower in translating my thoughts into a language my husband can understand. He has been able to dissect so many issues, anxieties and behaviors and then transform them with his exercises and expertise. We have been able to work through heavy issues (and comical issues) but always leave his office feeling happy and closer than ever!

Working with Tari has been the best investment in our marriage and myself!

Tari is a great coach, super happy I chose him! He was very helpful in not only identifying problems that were keeping distance between my husband and I but also I feel like one of his main strengths was helping my husband communicate/show his desire for me in a way that actually worked. Like channeling that sexy, masculine energy.

He’s able to tackle vulnerable conversations with respect and in a way where I felt comfortable. And he helped reignite hope and lit a new fire and desire in me when it was nearly dead after having intimacy issues for a long period.

I’d definitely recommend him if you’re having sexual struggles. This man knows what he’s talking about and not just talk but he also coaches with demonstrations (on a mannequin lol) and gives tangible tips!

My husband found Tari in a very sensitive and crucial time in our relationship. I, having been to many therapists, was skeptical because the others we went to didn’t really do anything to help our situation. However, the second we met Tari, I knew this was going to be different! He has helped our relationship more than any licensed therapist has ever helped us. He is real and phrases emotions and feelings in ways I have never heard them phrased. He gives me words to things I didn’t know I could explain in words, which in turn helped me understand myself and strengthen my relationship with my husband. I love how he has helped my husband to open up more about his feelings and most of all, how he has given us multiple ways to look at a situation. Thank you Tari for all that you do for us!

My wife and I had a lot of trouble opening up and communicating. We tried many different techniques and talked to some other people but nothing really worked well. Finally we met Tari and have been able to communicate well for probably the first time.

Tari made us comfortable from the first meeting. It was a lot of him asking each of us questions to help him understand our relationship and our struggles, and then he gave us some really useful techniques and ideas to try that were catered specifically to our needs rather than some generic advice. Definitely a little awkward to “roleplay” some of the stuff in front of him (nothing graphic!) but having him give advice in real time goes a long way. After 4 or 5 sessions we’ve seen a big improvement in our relationship.

Debo empezar por decir que llegamos a Closeness en medio de una relación que estaba pendiendo de un hilo, donde la comunicación, entre algunos otros aspectos, no era ideal, lo que causaba no solo desbordes emocionales sino también problemas en nuestra intimidad. Llevamos 3 sesiones y desde la primera hemos notado una inmensa mejoría en nuestra relación; Tari nos ha enseñado y guiado de la manera más respetuosa a entender cómo funciona nuestra mente y nuestro cuerpo, a “traducir” todo lo que sentimos para que la pareja entienda lo que queremos comunicar y a encontrar maneras de volvernos a enamorar. Gracias a su guianza profesional estamos encontrando un balance en el que existe una relación sana y divertida.

His coaching sessions gave me a comfortable and safe space to talk about what was happening in my dating life, as well as what I thought I did wrong or right. Sometimes in dating, I tend to get nervous or anxious, and I wanted to have someone to talk to and process all of that with.

I also wanted to be better when it came to moving things to the bedroom. That’s another thing Tari has helped me with. He offers a ton of great resources both in person and online — one being the well known Closeness podcast, which I can’t promote enough! It’s a great way to learn how to be a better person and how to deeply connect with another human.

He has a lot of knowledge and experience that can help someone transform and grow through any stage of life.

My husband and I had a one hour session with Tari. The gentle guidance he gave us felt very safe, intuitive, honest and authentic. His words and insight completely resonated with us. Tari’s deep understanding of men and women as well as human interaction is astounding.

We walked out of the session with a whole new energy between us. The time with Tari ignited a new portal of love, reflection, seeing, being seen, tenderness and much more. I felt so much healed within my heart and mind and I also experienced a sense of joy and ease that I had not felt in years. A part of me feels awakened and alive that I was not aware had wilted.

I am humbled and in awe that a shift and transformation of this magnitude was possible in just one hour. Thank you Tari!

My wife and I had two 2-hour sessions with Tari in October, and the experience was incredibly helpful. After many years together, we had started to feel some distance, and I wanted to learn how to better express my affection and make sure my wife felt desired.

Tari created a comfortable space for us to talk openly and honestly. In our first session, he guided us through deeper emotional conversations, and in the second, he introduced practical techniques that helped me reconnect with my confidence and express myself more deeply.

We both left feeling closer and more connected, both emotionally and physically. I’m very happy with the time, money & energy we invested, and I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Tari again in the future.

Tari gave me and my boyfriend great guidance. We gained so much insight in just one session! We have never experienced counseling of any sort so we did not have any expectations but we left so impressed and so excited to see the results in our chemistry.

It is never an easy task to role play, let alone sexually, but if you want to get the most out of this, you have to go as far as you are comfortable and be receptive to the real time feedback. (The role playing was eye contact and speaking to each other, not anything crazy.) You will be in a unique position but Tari really made me comfortable and gave me great advice. He is a great energy and really helped us transform our energy.

Highly recommend for other couples.

I “met” Tari through the Closeness Podcast at a time when I was single. I was instantly intrigued by his voice and his juicy details about how to make a woman feel like she was in heaven on earth.

It wasn’t much later I made an appointment to work together. Tari’s methods are surprising, delightful and most importantly for me, safe. Not just in a consenting way but in the “I don’t know what the heck I’m doing, don’t laugh please” kind of way.

I’m very glad to have met and worked with Tari now that I can confidently communicate my needs. A quality I have taken into other relationships.

What is taught in each session goes way beyond just bedroom counseling. This kind of coaching is an excellent setting to both rectify misconceptions and learn new things in a noninvasive manner. Tari is extremely insightful on how to fix both verbal and nonverbal communication scenarios that we were experiencing in our relationship.

I am a big advocate for people knowing what’s out there and I truly believe everything in this type of coaching. My husband and I have been together nine years and I can say we’re definitely having a lot more fun like we did in the beginning of our relationship as teenagers because of that one session we did.

Tari challenges me to think deeper about insecurities and behaviors I engage in subconsciously, bringing them to awareness so that positive change can occur. He creates a safe space allowing vulnerability to discuss intimate or difficult topics. He is truly interested in listening and discovering with you on your journey of personal growth, and is gifted in knowing the right questions to ask. I often struggle finding the right words to express feelings, and his exceptional use of language allows freedom for those thoughts to be articulated more clearly. His communication is encouraging, presence is safe, and conversation enlightening.

If you are looking to be understood on topics you never knew who to turn to talk about, Tari is the one. He will never make you feel judged and just completely understood. It is amazing how much understanding he has of us women, our needs and wants. Tari has made such a great impact on how I see and deal with my relationships and the loved ones around me. I am now able to understand aspects of myself I have always struggled with and had already discussed with a previous therapist. Most professionals do not know how to approach the intimate topic so wonderfully as Tari does. Thank you for continually helping me understand myself.

Ever since my first session with Tari, I felt an ease about his presence and a comfort from his demeanor. His knowledge and attitude provided me an opportunity to express myself in newfound ways. His open-minded, non-judgemental approach is liberating to experience (especially from a man!) and has encouraged me to speak and act more freely about my desires. He truly understands what women really want and knows how to help them reach those goals — big or small. He not only hears your needs, but LISTENS to them too. His skills by far surpass that of any coach I’ve had in the past. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

If you need help in person that’s fully tailored to your own individual needs, Tari is very easy to contact and he is extremely prompt, professional and compassionate. Tari is the personification of “common sense” — and nowadays common sense is not so common. Seeing him in person makes a world of difference.

Then there is the podcast. I enjoy it immensely! He covers universally relevant subjects so directly and in such a down to earth, compassionate manner. He has a fresh, simple and elegant approach to human relationships and beyond. Everyone can find help or learn something new by listening.

We came across Tari here on Google and listened to one of his podcasts — we both felt so “seen” hearing it that we decided to sign up for a session. Just doing the intake form alone is valuable and allows the session to immediately dive into real topics. We already communicate well and are happy as a couple in general, but we had some specific topics to work through and felt like Tari was able to add a lot of value quickly. He is skilled at understanding both masculine and feminine perspectives, as well as interpreting our various points, which made us feel comfortable immediately. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I have been married for a few years and had been struggling straight from the start with sex. We finally decided to see someone and found Tari.

He basically gave us adult sex ed and taught us how to have better, more meaningful sex. He didn’t just give us generic advice but tailored his advice to fit us as a couple. He has helped me work through my trust issues and helped cultivate an atmosphere of trust in our relationship.

He’s probably the nicest person you’ll ever meet. Not judgmental at all and clearly cares about your relationship getting better. Thanks Tari!

My husband and I came to Tari looking for ways to deepen our intimacy and build a more creative, connected relationship. For men, it can sometimes be hard to hear guidance from other men, but Tari’s thoughtful and respectful approach made my husband feel comfortable enough to truly listen and open up.

Even after just two sessions, we’ve already felt a real difference. We’ve learned so much, and our connection has grown in such meaningful ways. We’re so grateful for Tari’s insight, care, and guidance — thank you for helping us take these important steps forward!

I had this on my “to do” list for months. I’m so happy that I finally threw caution to the wind and went for it! My marriage hit a boring rock bottom and I knew I (we) needed some outside advice. I met with Tari alone for the first appointment. I shared my concerns and how they were affecting our marriage. The following sessions were with myself and my husband and Tari was there to help us navigate some much needed conversations! We experienced improvement almost immediately! You won’t be disappointed with the advice and guidance you’ll receive from Tari, so just go for it!

Tari was a great help. My husband and I were struggling in the bedroom and these sessions were so helpful. Tari was on point and able to give my husband feedback that was definitely outside of my expertise. I had no idea how to communicate to my husband what I wanted or what he was doing wrong, all I knew is that I wasn’t super happy in the bedroom. After several sessions things are so much better between my husband and I and it would have been very hard for us to get there on our own. Highly suggest to couples that may feel incompatible with their lover and don’t know how to fix it.

After 14 years of marriage, we wanted to spice things up and learn how to get the most out of our relationship. Tari has a unique understanding of how to build chemistry and talk collaboratively about any sensitive or taboo topic. His personalized coaching is really sort of magical — and perfect for couples like us who get trapped in the day-to-day of kids, work, chores, etc. It’s easy to put this off but I recommend listening to the Closeness podcast now and going to see Tari sooner rather than later, so you can get your groove back (which is so much more important than we realize!)

Tari has a truly unique ability to read interpersonal situations and the nuances of people’s nonverbal communication. He is a responsive, careful listener and made me and my partner feel comfortable discussing sex and our relationship. Tari was able to quickly assess what was going on and name things that I felt but couldn’t put into words, much less convey to my partner. I’m grateful to have someone to turn to who I trust. He gave us great instruction and recommendations. The energy in our relationship has significantly shifted and I couldn’t be happier.

I went in a little skeptical thinking that this coaching may or may not work. But almost instantly I started noticing a huge shift in the energy between my fiancée and myself. Tari made our experience super comfortable and relaxing, making it easy to ask any question and to say anything no matter how personal it was. He knew exactly what to ask and found solutions immediately. I’ve even found out new things about my fiancée that I didn’t know before. I highly recommend Tari to save your relationship or just to make it even stronger.

To start with, me and my husband feel: why didn’t we meet Tari a few years back? We had been struggling with intimacy and sex issues for 2 or 3 years. Things went really south lately because we started doubting the whole foundation of our relationship.

We met Tari as our relationship coach a few times. He creates a very comfortable and easy environment to deal with such private topics like sex, intimacy, life, etc. We are so thankful to Tari and are enjoying our intimacy like never before. All our best wishes to you Tari.

Tari is the real deal sex therapist.

We've spent thousands of dollars on relationship and marital coaching. I can tell you without a doubt Tari has it right. The man can take complex, sensitive, and awkward topics and make each party comfortable discussing it.

He has made me feel closer to my wife in so many ways in just a few short sessions. We've spent so much money on relationship counseling/ coaching in the past, but all we really needed was someone like Tari to spark the love again.

He just has a way to him that is non judgmental and it allows everyone to speak their truth on topics that are awkward and uncomfortable. He can take everything you said and break it down to pieces and help you figure out why you are doing what to do are doing, and all in a non-judgmental way.

If your having trouble in your relationship, give Tari a try, he is one of the best we've been to.

One piece of advice, engage in the small exercises he asks you and your spouse to go through at his office. It helps you understand your spouse, and it helps Tari figure out / diagnose what's really going on.
