Hi, I'm Taryn

I love nature. It is vital to me to spend time in nature everyday, whether it's enjoying a cup of tea and my journal on the deck overlooking the lake, a walk with my dog in my favourite park, or scouring the beach for cool rocks. I also find as an introvert, time in nature recharges my battery better than any other way.  My goal is to experience a sense of peace and creative expression, in my career and in all aspects of life. 

 

I have a Bachelor of Fine Art from NSCAD. I had a successful career in photography for many years until I just didn't feel like it fit anymore and felt a tug to "find my purpose". I began down a path of self-discovery that has led me to wanting to help women find their fulfillment through expressing their purpose. Through this journey, I have taken life coaching courses through Kelsey Murphy, the EcoTherapy Level 1 certificate through the Earthbody Institute, and am constantly learning and evolving through retreats, workshops, and self-development work.​

​​

I believe my purpose is "to encourage". That purpose has been expressed in many different ways throughout my life - in my career as a photographer as I often worked with small business owners bringing their creations to the world; when I organized a Food Fair at my daughter's elementary school to let kids experience where food comes from; in running an after school program for girls to try new healthy food choices and new physical activities they wouldn't have tried on their own; in how I parent, in friendships, my life partnership; and currently through life coaching to allow other people to identify their purpose and express their truth in an aligned way.

​

I am very grateful to live near the ocean, and also have access to a lake for swimming, kayaking, peace and beauty. I live with my daughter, partner, dog, cat, and new kitten, in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia.
