About Me
My name is Taylor and so far in life I have had the privilege of supporting environmental and public health through air quality. I found myself in this field partially due to the movie Twister, wanting to chase tornadoes, and also because I have always believed souls reside in everything. The plants, the rocks, every animal and bug. It feels so important to care for the world because it matters as much as myself. But growing up I was often told I was wrong, too sensitive, or that my efforts wouldn't have an impact. I made a goal as a kid, to dedicate myself to science so others would “have” to listen to me. But unbeknownst to me, I was on a path of in-authenticity. Afraid to simply tell people what I believe and simply study what interested me. I avoided those who understand our oneness because society wouldn’t listen to that, right? My education was deeply white-washed which further distanced my oneness and eventually, I forgot my own beliefs or motivations. Over time, I realized I did not dedicate myself to science I hid in science for reputation, credibility, and security. I became a bundle of anxious attachments, hopelessness, aggression, and undiagnosed autism. I fell into depression, anxiety, and unexplainable chronic pain; at a disconnect with my body, mind, heart, and soul.
It wasn't until I sought help with Mystic Feminine, that I was able to shift into a person who was honest, compassionate, and found power in my femininity. Brave enough to set boundaries, seek answers within myself, and create supportive relationships. She gave me the space to reflect on what I actually believed about myself and the world, gave me the time to change my limiting beliefs, and tangibly supported me through the process with reiki, shamanic illuminations, and ceremony and ritual. I finally found myself and our oneness again.
This journey was so profound that I am now dedicating my life to another type of environment: the environment of our body and our hearts. A dedication rooted in happiness, love, passion, and understanding.
As a current student of Sky Spirit Shamans, I am grateful for the wisdom cultivated to allow me to witness the fascinating intersection of science and spirituality, and for the space to dedicate to my connection and learning of the mythic. I don't know your story and I don't know what's best for you. But I do know that only by each of us finding our balance and compassion from within, can we then find it in the world. I will use my collected wisdom and deep care to help you find your own answers for balance wherever you are in life. You are creative, whole, and resourceful just as you are now.
Many of us have been conditioned by society 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. I can offer a mix of energy work and co-active coaching to tangibly support you on your journey of self-discovery. To help you reconnect with your body and heart so you may make decisions in life that are also rooted in happiness, understanding, and love.
My Training
I attend Sky Spirit Shaman’s eighth Allyu which is a two year program to complete the Munay Ki Rites, Reiki Mastery, and Karuna Reiki. The Munay Ki is an inspired system of rites correlated with open traditions and practices from lineages in the Andes Mountains. This system of rites is based on love and unity and is created specifically for Western Cultural needs, as explained through the Four Winds Society.
I walk the Peruvian Medicine Wheel to integrate my own healing. As I work through the rites, I deeply understand how the energy body engages with the world, the spirit world, and our individual beliefs. I have learned several sacred methods of helping myself and others reach autonomy over their energy and find balance between their feminine and masculine energies. Such methods include cord cutting, fluid or solid extractions, soul retrievals, holy fire experiences, and moon or fire ceremonies and ritual. It is important to gain autonomy as it allows us to fully embody our desires, goals, and decisions from a regulated nervous system that is not being influenced by limiting beliefs, past interactions, and unknown forces draining our energy.
I currently have Usui/Holy Fire III Reiki Master Teacher Certification and am affiliated with the International Reiki Institute. I have given over 70 reiki sessions in a mix of group events and one-one sessions.
I have Sound Bath Facilitator Certification from Intuitive Jen and have participated in various personal and group sound baths.
I have Indigenous Ally Training from Tribal Trade.
I have ongoing studies in co-active coaching, meditation and breathing techniques, internal family system models, attachment styles, as well as trauma recovery yoga.
Please note, I am not a licensed therapist nor am I becoming one nor are my sessions a replacement for therapy. Often, people find great benefits from doing both therapy and energy work. (I did!)
I am an Atmospheric Physicist by day and a spiritual healer by night.
