Sally Tarte, Founder, A Place to Start
After losing her mother to Alzheimer’s, Sally channeled her experience into action — founding a nonprofit dedicated to connecting families navigating an Alzheimer’s diagnosis with the resources and support they need. What started as advocacy work at the state level became a mission to make sure no family feels as lost as hers once did.
Sally first connected with Melissa when their offices ended up in the same building — a coincidence that quickly felt like anything but. Melissa led a strategic planning session for Sally’s organization in its early days, helping the team focus their mission and find their footing. Sally credits that work with giving her nonprofit the clarity and direction it needed to grow.
Her signature program, Luminous 8 Professional Development for Your Soul®, supports people and organizations around the world, helping them access their own intuitive gifts to build businesses, craft effective strategy, branding, and messaging, and meet business goals and challenges.
