Hi, I’m Taylor! Over the past 11 years I’ve been dedicated to understanding the atmosphere and working in environmental protection. In my spare time, I love listening to birds as well as reading endless fantasy stories. However, I suffered from unexplainable chronic pain, undiagnosed Autism/ADHD, and all the ways this interfered with work and relationships. I was desperate for help to save myself, my job, and my marriage. I struggled with the limitations of doctors and insurance, the emotional distance of therapists, and finally found my life changing with alternative healers.

For the last 5 years, I have passionately learned how our hearts and minds communicate to our consciousness (hence, Body-Heart Connections) as well as the nervous system process and how trauma interrupts this system. My performance and stress at work is much better and my marriage is amazingly supportive and honest now. I also have almost no chronic pain (after a lifetime of it)! While I still have flare-ups, it’s much more manageable and simply shows me when I’m not taking care of myself. I just thank my body for communicating its needs and do what I need to do.

Through curiosity and self compassion I have been able to separate from my ego and fears to look at what it is I’m contributing to in my life and who I gravitate to in my life. I have healed a significant amount of past experiences through shamanic reiki practices, redefined my beliefs about the world, and am better at flowing in and out of deeper work with love. The learning and growing never stops nor do I wish it to even though it can be really upsetting. Experiences, good or bad, teach us about ourselves, and suffering is a choice and a habit.

Though my past experiences with doctors weren’t great, I never advise to avoid them. There is still help to be had but is better when we are equipped with discernment and an ability to advocate for ourselves. Reiki can be a great addition to western treatments. We have been conditioned to ignore our innate intuition in favor of following the status quo. Like a muscle to train, I am here to help you 'work out' your intuition by offering a mix of energy work, breathing techniques, meditations, and co-active coaching to tangibly support you on your journey of self-discovery and healing. Reiki itself is a pain and stress reduction technique that can provide lots of relief during sessions. I want to help you reconnect with your body and heart so you may make decisions in life that are rooted in happiness, understanding, and love. Find out more about me and my training below.
