Welcome, I'm Taylor

Yoga Teacher, Somatic Therapist

& Trauma Specialist

I am honoured to support brave people on their path of healing and transformation, guiding them back to their authentic selves, their embodied experience, and their natural ability for peace and freedom.


I began my own healing journey when the deterioration of my life became so evident it was impossible to ignore. I was chronically stressed and had developed disordered eating, substance abuse issues and many toxic attachments.


My debilitating anxiety was stopping me from doing daily tasks, leaving the house or just engaging with society as a 'normal' human being. No amount of self-disgust or hatred could bring me out of endless cycles of self-sabotage. It affected my physical health, my relationships, my job and most importantly my relationship with myself.

I visited countless Psychologists, tried numerous medications, underwent a brief period in Psychiatric Care and even found myself in not one but three different 12-Step Addiction Programs!

To no avail, I still felt an overwhelming sense of uneasiness, that had me actively trying to not be alive.


Delving into Spirituality somewhat liberated my body and mind, and I felt called to become a Yoga Teacher as a result of the progress I was making. Though I was still experiencing persistent anxiety, depression, and memories of sexual trauma had resurfaced that I did not have the capacity to cope with.


The unwavering will to "take back control of my life" eventually led me to find what I had been searching for. After a great deal of persistence, I discovered that my suffering was rooted in deep beliefs and feelings of deficiency in my body and nervous system.


Once I discovered the proper tools and guidance, the anxiety, depression, addictive behaviours and unhealthy coping mechanisms started slowly falling away by themselves. I was able to access the energy, passion and motivation for life that previously felt impossibly out of reach. I grew in my capacity to cope with the human experience and gained a profoundly compassionate love for myself.


I have since dedicated myself to sharing these tools and learnings with others. I am devoted to delivering in-depth and straightforward

Yoga and Mental Health Education, through a Trauma-Informed Lens.


Although life still presents its challenges, I now have the ability to control how I behave and respond to triggers. The impact of those ingrained patterns on my life is enormously reduced and having the freedom to just be is utterly invigorating.
