Guiding deep feelers and seekers in transforming survival into sovereignty— through embodied healing, inner work, and the reclamation of presence, safety, connection, and ease.
reclaim. integrate. embody.
I know this path because I've lived it. I’ve walked through the fire of unlearning and rebirth— leaving behind old narratives, deconstructing my faith, and rebuilding from the ground up (and let’s be real, I’m still in it—always.)
Now, I guide others through their own transformation— helping them unravel the stories that keep them small, regulate their nervous systems, and alchemize lived experience into wisdom, resilience, self-knowing, and sovereignty.
Pillars of Experience
This is the foundation of everything I offer. When you step into this work, these four pillars guide the journey we take together.
ritual /○
Remembering that the process of being is sacred.
○\ alchemy
Learning to stay with the process long enough for the story around it to evolve.
connection /○
Remembering that being witnessed is at the heart of belonging, and that you don’t have to walk this path alone.
○\ embodiment
Learning to live into what is in the here and now; presence.
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.
This work may resonate if…
You feel on edge or like you’re always bracing for something to go wrong.
You get anxious or overwhelmed by things that seem easy for others.
Your relationships feel complicated, fragile, or hard to trust.
You feel drained, exhausted, or disconnected from your body or emotions.
You keep falling into the same patterns, no matter how much you want to change.
You’re tired of carrying the weight of past experiences and want to feel at ease.
This is where trauma-informed, body-based work can help.
Hey! I’m Taren.
I am a Somatic Practitioner, Trauma Alchemist, Embodiment Educator, Storyteller, and Mystic.
My path into this work began after a 15 year career as a Photographer, Director, and Producer— underneath the fast paced, busy lifestyle, I was burnt out, carrying the weight of unprocessed grief, and trauma.
Discovering somatic healing completely shifted my life’s trajectory.
I share this work because I know it’s power.
I come to this work with a relational, paced, and holistic perspective—one that honors the mess and process of life, and finds beauty in being human, in all our intricacies.
Through somatic healing, personal myth, and deep inner work, I help people reclaim the parts of themselves they were taught to abandon and remember what it means to tend the wild, living ecosystem within.
I trust the body’s intelligence—its natural capacity to self-organize and heal. My role is to create a space safe enough for that wisdom to emerge, so you can reclaim your power and begin rewriting your story from the inside out.
Are you ready to step into a space where you can practice honesty, build capacity, and reconnect with your wholeness?
Let’s connect.
A Living, Breathing Approach to Healing
Tending your Inner Ecosystem
My work is built on the belief that:
We are not singular, static selves. Like an ecosystem, we are made up of many parts: body, mind, spirit, shadow, dreams, ancestry, instinct, relationships, environment and they are all interconnected.
Well-being is relational. Just as a healthy forest or reef relies on balance between its elements, our well-being depends on the harmony of our inner and outer worlds.
Everything inside us and around us is part of the web. Our thoughts affect our body, our emotions shape our nervous system, our environment influences our mood, and our lineage is well and alive in our cells.
Healing is about tending the whole. An ecosystem has many parts and focusing on one will not restore vitality. All parts must be accounted for and tended.
We are nature. And we are not separate from her; we do not need mechanical fixes or self-improvement projects, but an attuned organic unfolding. And, perhaps someone to support us in tending and amending our inner soil so that we can grow.

Taren holds space in such a tender, beautiful and powerful way. I immediately felt that I could trust her with my experience.
Her guidance and teachings helped me to better embody my own sense of power again. I had been afraid of getting hurt again, but her steadiness and support allowed me to also feel into my own sense of sturdiness. This is exactly what I needed. I still think about her lessons on leadership. I am forever grateful for how she helped me stop feeling ashamed, and instead showed me the gift that my leadership brings to my whole family. She showed me the relationship between leadership and sovereignty and the magic of aligning those. Today, my home life is so much more in flow. My relationship with my husband has improved, and I'm excited about the work I'm doing.

Taren is a loving and curious partner in this work, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Taren and I share the foundational knowledge that all the wisdom and answers that we seek are already contained within us. She is a conduit for innate wisdom and knowing, and helped me identify the veils which hid shadows and self-limiting beliefs from my own viewpoint. Taren held space tenderly as I identified and integrated pieces of my Self which I had previously judged, cast off, or ignored (both willfully and unknowingly), back into the whole.

My work with Taren has helped me more in my healing journey than pills and talk therapy EVER have.
When I began working with Taren, I was in a deep depression and had been suffering from PTSD for a few years. I was desperate. Desperate to find hope, healing… desperate to find anything that could give me some relief especially after therapy and pills had left me hopeless. The handful of sessions I’ve had with her have been nothing short of groundbreaking. I’m grateful that Taren has held this space for me, and I continue to look forward to each and every opportunity and challenge that her sessions present.

Taren holds space with graciousness and ease and I felt safe enough to be radically honest with myself and felt trusted to know myself better than anyone else which, in my experience, is rare.
My time with Taren felt like stepping through a stand-alone door frame into a new way of existing, a lizard shedding skin, a reinvented self approach to life; leaving my shoulders lighter and my courage bolder. She is a vessel for ancient wisdom and a stoke for even the tiniest and deeply hidden internal flame. A session with her is a sacred space to explore the incredibly vulnerable emotional well where both sobs and laughs are stored and released. If you feel like you can’t find your light, maybe the eyes of a seer and seeker are the very ones you need to help you find it.

After just three sessions with Taren, I found myself in a new space of awareness, connection, and embodiment.
I began my sessions shut down and cut off from my body. Now I’m empowered to listen and lean into the ways my body is longing to take care of me. I went from a racing mind that feared change to one that can let go and rest through the shifts of energy…Through my time with Taren, I’ve cultivated safety, honor, and the ability to release what no longer serves me. Through intentional grounding and integrative play, I’ve uncovered more of who I am and fallen in love with my unfolding. Much love and many thanks to her for guiding me through this process with such compassion and courage.

I can’t imagine anyone else I’d rather have in my corner as I navigate the ebbs and flows of life.
Taren emits a pure magnetism that you can’t help but be drawn to. And if you are, my guess is it’s because there’s something there for you to discover together. The divine masculine and feminine energies are beautifully woven within her presence. She has an intuitive ability to know when to offer a more nurturing, protective presence and when to lovingly nudge you past your comfort zone - both harmoniously helping you to stretch a little more and step into a more expanded version of yourself. Taren’s gentle ferocity is both an inspiration and a mirror - guiding you back to yourself in a way that leaves you feeling empowered and supported.

My experience with Taren has profoundly transformed my journey towards healing and self-integration, and I am deeply grateful for her compassionate and insightful guidance.
Since working together I have more access to the somatic experiences that arrive alongside my feelings, thoughts, and internal and external disruptions to my days. Taren revealed ways I can honor my experiences while also not inviting them to overtake/overwhelm me.— A.

Now I feel like there is intention in feeling everything, seeing everything.
You know what I love about this process? Before, I never felt like I was living with intention. I felt like I was just wandering through the earth. Now I feel like there is intention in feeling everything, seeing everything. — E.L
