Founder & Principal | Compassion Fatigue Therapist & Somatic Coach

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

Taryn’s been running symptom reduction programs for adults and youth her entire career. “I feel so calm” and “you saved my life” are the most common feedback she receives.

Far from a savior, she is merely present and offering the right tools at the right time in a way that is relatable to people from all walks of life.

Professionally, she is a Certified Compassion Fatigue Therapist and Educator through the Green Cross Academy of Traumatology, a Certified Recovery Coach through Texas State University, a Somatic Coach, and a globally recognized expert on Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Trauma workplace solutions.

Personally, she is a lover of dance, movement, relationships, and a total philomath (undercover nerd who loves to learn).

Additional education includes a BA in Fine Applied Arts/Dance & Somatics from Point Park University, LLM program in Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, European-University Viadrina in Germany, and Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program.

Some of her favorite training certifications have been in the Hakomi Method, Jungian Dream Analysis, Core Self Reclamation, and Somatic Trauma Release (TRE).
