“Working with tayla has completely transformed what I previously understood was possible to accomplish in therapy. We have integrated so many decolonial ways of processing...influenced by the changes of the season, my menstrual cycle, the pace at which I am able to integrate our work. It is cyclical in nature, revealing how healing spirals – and she is always facilitating this rhythm so beautifully – never forcing, never judging.”

“It is rare to find someone who operates with capacity and skill on so many levels, from the logistical, strategic, practical and embodied to far reaching vision and deeply rooted creativity.

Written Word
tayla’s original love is the written word. A poet since a small child, she claims she’s got the gift of gab and a useful knack for writing prose that touch, elucidate, and (at times) confuse in the best way.
