Hi, I’m Taylor- Tay for short. I am a Certified Breathwork Coach and Reiki Practitioner. My most important job is being a stay at home mom to my littles. It’s hard to picture how different my life was 8 years ago… I was at the peak of my heroin addiction. I was a slave to a drug that provided me temporary comfort, and then killed everything I loved in its path including myself. I had no hope, I wanted to die but also wanted to live if that even makes sense, I couldn’t see the light. I was always running, always escaping my trauma, not willing to face and confront my shadows. Not willing to FEEL. The day I died, I was reborn. God has given me a life beyond my wildest dreams. 

There has been many things that have helped me over the past almost 8 years now in my healing journey, but I will say breathwork has been the ultimate game changer. I am a surviver of years of childhood sexual trauma and I had spent most of my adult life trying to find ways to heal and release that trauma. I had tried many forms of traditional therapy, like EMDR, CBT, and DBT. Many different plant medicines and I had even tried hypnosis but nothing seemed to stick… I would feel better for a little bit and then have a massive setback. 

Finally in 2022 I was introduced to breathwork and my life was catapulted into a different dimension. It was love at first breath. I knew I had to learn everything I could about breathwork so I could give it away to others. Breathwork did something for me I didn’t think was possible… it helped me see Little Me and learn to love her unconditionally again, to believe fiercely in myself, see my worth, and to finally rid myself of all the toxic shame I had been carrying around my entire life. I have learned that the meaning of life is to find your gift and the purpose of life is to give it away. It is my mission to show others what’s possible, we don’t have to live a mediocre life. We have the ability to create a life of magic we just have to be willing to do the hard, uncomfortable shit to get there. That is how Balance & Bloom came to life! 

Whether your a newbie or a breathwork connoisseur, let me guide you on one of the most profound and epic journeys of your life by simply using your breath! We have the ability to heal ourselves, we just have to be willing to FEEL it to HEAL it.
