Taylor helped me work through some thorny ‘mid-life’ career and life questions and I’m feeling much more clarity about what’s important to me, what I want to focus my time on and how to do that. Can’t recommend Harmonious Return enough.

Before working with Taylor, I was on the edge of burnout and feeling quite stagnant with where I was in my career. Since working together, not only has my outlook on my professional life changed (for the better obviously!), but my understanding of myself as a person, as well as what lies ahead for my career has been so enlightening and exciting. Taylor gives you the tools to develop a healthy mindset tailored specifically to you and pushes you to actually use them. She works with you in such a personable & personalized manner - conversations are so easy and fun. I highly highly recommend working with her! Going from burnout to being not only content, but truly excited for my future in the matter of a few months was beyond worth it.

Money well spent. I was shown successful techniques to help guide me through my career hang-ups. Taylor has a style that is organic and authentic. I was taught many tools that I use daily.

LOVED the format of the program. Easy to incorporate week to week. So many tools between the modules, book, and group training yet succinct and small enough to incorporate into my daily life without feeling like it was work on top of what was already on my plate. The group training was awesome. Listening to the others brought out shared experiences I didn’t even think of and so many ideas to apply to my life.

Taylor, I can’t even begin to say how much has changed my LIFE, not just my relationship to my job. Seriously, you should change the title :D I know what I want, what I don’t want, and how to make a change if it’s not working for me, whether that be a tweak in my day, my reaction, or even making a completely different change in my life. You are truly an AMAZING person who created an AMAZING program that can apply to so many different people (and as we learned, that’s a lot of different people!!) and I’m so thankful for this experience!

Taylor is brilliantly smart, sunny, and easy to talk to. That is wonderful and everything, but the real thing that is amazing about her and her coaching program is her unique ability to really understand someone and where they are coming from, and to help you arrive at what you need most in your work life and, just, real life — and to help you to pinpoint where you need to shift in your habits, processes, and thoughts to get there. The best part about that, is that this happens so gracefully, calmly, and carefully throughout the coaching process that you don’t even really realize how far you have come or how much you have learned and your thinking has shifted until you look back on the person you were when you showed up in your first coaching session. One day, you just ARE navigating your life and work in a better, smarter, easier, more YOU way. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING TAYLOR

When I came into this program I was feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and not quite sure how to change my perspective on something that felt ingrained from years of feeling this way. Because this program was an immersive, 16-week experience, it gave me a chance to process and work through both good and bad work weeks and how to learn what really worked best for me from all the tools that Taylor presented. My favorite part of the program was the group coaching - it was a chance to fine-tune what I was struggling with, celebrate what was shifting and most importantly, hear what other people in the program were working through and what was helping them. As part of this program I’ve found a more healthy work/life balance and my relationship with work has definitely shifted to a more positive place. And now when I’m having an overwhelming, exhausting week, I have a whole new set of tools to work with.

I’m just feeling so much more like myself. I was able to finally get off of a medication I was taking that I have been wanting to get off for such a long time, but my stress level was too high at work at the time I wasn’t able to do it in the past. Through this program, my stress level went down so I was able to finally do it!

I truly enjoyed the program, while I need to remind myself the change/progress is slow. Looking back at what I have already done to improve my day-to-day is impressive. Having the group for support was also wonderful and gave me a sense of not being in this alone.

After working with Taylor in our company for a year, we have many takeaways! Overall, the feeling of being more grounded with things around me. Meeting with her seasonally really helped deal with the ebb and flow of the seasons. I feel like I am trusting the process more. It’s been a great practice of being more intentional in life. I notice how beautiful nature and life is. It was so nice to do this as a team because we knew we would always get to see each other at Taylor’s outings.

When the student is ready the teacher will appear. I’d been looking for a coach for some time, but once I talked to Taylor I knew right away she was the one. She’s compassionate, non judgmental and genuine. I felt safe with her from the start, and that’s crucial when looking at those inner dark corners. But, what sets her apart is the way she embraces nature as another tool. During our sessions in parks or on mountain wanderings, Taylor helped me discover parts of myself I hadn’t looked at closely, and I’m incredibly grateful that with those newfound insights I can move forward in a better place.

Taylor is so full of love and support. She is amazing at holding space for others, as well as guiding people through their inner shadows and into the light. She helped me understand, accept, and overcome some deep rooted anxiety that I was feeling around intimacy and relationships. I am so grateful for all of Taylor’s guidance, and I would recommend her as a life coach to anyone!

If you’re looking to transform or change something in your life but you’re not sure where to start, Taylor is the guide you want on your journey.

Working with Taylor I always felt listened to and supported and also appreciated how she catered tools for me based on what I needed at the time. And they were tools I could actually use! It was the complete package of physical, mental and emotional support.

Working with Taylor these past few months has been very meaningful and insightful. During a difficult time, she offered useful tips and exercises that I could apply right away and I feel they have helped. I’m excited to see where nature-connected coaching can lead me in my future.
