My Approach

At the beginning of every journey, there is a moment when one must step beyond the threshold of the known world and into the magical world within which they will be transformed. This initiation can be intimidating to go at alone, and the good news is: you don’t have to. I’m here to walk with you.

I believe everything you need is already within you. We are not here to fix you, but to help you reclaim your power; the parts of you that got left behind, and to the wholeness that’s always been yours. This work is about coming home to your authentic self.

We get there by working holistically, exploring body, mind, and spirit. My approach blends nervous system regulation, shadow alchemy, somatic practices, and mythic storytelling. Why? Because your healing isn’t one-dimensional—it lives in your body, your story, and your soul.

Here’s the truth: you already have the wisdom. You already have the power. Together, we create the container for you to access it, embody it, and live from it.

Who This Work Is For

This space is here for you if…

  • You’re navigating anxiety, trauma, religious deconstruction, and/or nervous system overwhelm and want somatic tools and functional support that helps you feel grounded and safe in your body.

  • You feel stuck in old patterns, shadow loops, or cycles of self-sabotage and you’re ready to break free.

  • You’re looking for a more embodied, trauma-informed path of growth—something deeper than talk therapy alone.

  • You feel drawn to myth, archetypes, the mystical, and creative transformation as doorways into self-discovery and healing.

  • You’re seeking healing through a holistic lens— one that honors the body, mind, and spirit, and connects you to something larger than yourself.

If you’re ready to meet this moment—to honor the body, mind and the soul, the science and the sacred—this space is for you.

What To Expect

Here, there’s no one-size-fits-all. Each session is a collaborative, personalized process that is adapted to you—your story, your nervous system, and your unique goals and desires. My role is to create a safe, grounded space where we can explore what’s ready to unfold.

I offer online 1:1 work, as well as in person group work at retreats, immersions and events.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION:

  • Grounding & Safety: We begin by arriving in the body— using breath, presence, or simple somatic practices—so you feel rooted and resourced.

  • Exploration: Depending on what you’re carrying that day, we may work with parts, nervous system regulation, shadow alchemy, somatic tools, breathwork, or storytelling. Each practice is intentional, designed to meet you where you are and support you in going deeper into your work.

  • Integration: We always close with time to land. This might look like reflection, discussion, journaling prompts, or anchoring sensations— my goal is to always you leave feeling steady and resourced.

CORE ASPECTS OF MY APPROACH:

  • Paced & Trauma-Informed: Nothing is forced. We move at a rhythm your nervous system can hold.

  • Curiosity Led.

  • Relational: Our connection is part of the healing. This is a space where you can practice honesty, vulnerability, and new ways of relating knowing you’ll be met with compassion, curiosity, and respect.

  • Collaborative: You’re an active participant, shaping the process with your needs, preferences, and feedback. This is welcomed and encouraged.

  • Holistic: We honor body, mind, and spirit—spirit meaning your intuition, sense of meaning, connection to nature, and relationship to the sacred—while weaving together somatic tools, nervous system science, and archetypal myth.

  • Evolving: The work shifts as you do— responsive to your progress, your capacity, your desires and your growth.

This work isn’t about getting to some finish line. It’s about discovery. It’s about building capacity, reclaiming lost parts of yourself, and creating sustainable change that you can move from.

Hey! I’m Taren.

& I am so happy you are here.

My path into this work began after a 15 year successful career as a Photographer, Director, and Producer part of which time I lived in Los Angeles— underneath the fast paced, busy lifestyle, I was burnout, 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. I weave nervous system regulation, somatic practices, shadow alchemy, and narrative exploration— approaches that honor body, mind, and spirit. I believe that your body is intelligent, and self-organizing, and my goal is to create a space safe enough for your inherent wisdom to arise. From there you are able to reclaim your own power and rewrite your story.

Are you ready to step into a space where you can practice honesty, build capacity, and reconnect with your wholeness?

Session Pricing

$155/session

Each session is 60-90 minutes and designed to meet you exactly where you are. My approach is integrative— meaning I draw from multiple modalities to create a process that’s personalized to you. Instead of following a single method, I weave together somatic practices, nervous system regulation, shadow alchemy, breathwork, a narrative exploration.

What that means: your sessions can look different depending on what you need and where you are starting. Some sessions are more body-focused, some more story-driven, sometimes they’re a blend of both. The goal is always the same: to support your healing in a way that feels safe, collaborative, and focused on your goals.

What Folks Are Saying

  • 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.

    — Cara O.

  • 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.

    — Anna S.

  • 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. 

    — Sara K.

  • 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.

    — Rachel T.

  • 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.

    — Victoria

  • 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.

    — C.S

  • 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
