Hi! I'm Taryn
Certified Gentle Trauma Release© Practitioner and Empowerment Coach
My own journey is my greatest inspiration for the Barefoot Woman Academy
I want to tell you how amazing and courageous you are. You are here because you know in some way that trauma is holding you back and you are looking for healing.
From high school on, I have been responsible for building teams. From managing swimming pools during college, to my last two jobs in association work where I have worked with people of all ages and experiences. I enjoy getting to know people and I learned I have this ability to get to know people and see their struggles.
It was through my career that I learned to help people achieve success in any area because I was able to build trust and allow them the space to look at those things that were holding them back. It may have been lack of experience, not being given the right resources and sometimes something in their personal lives that they were carrying on their shoulders.

My Story
Perhaps it’s easier to get to know a person better when you understand what motivates them to do the work they do. I would love to share with you why I do what I do and what inspires me to offer this work to help another.
Here is my story in a nutshell
Simply Put:
I believe I was put out on this earth to be of selfless service to others with joy and understanding at your place of entry into my healing soul circle. It was meant for me to learn all about my own emotions, challenges and physical story and how to treat myself with love and respect to inspire others as a caring, nurturing soul healer.
My own healing story
In this video, I share my own Gentle Trauma Release© journey that allowed me to re-discover my sense of worthiness.
Listen as I share my deep transformation with the creator of the Gentle Trauma Release Method© – Izabela Viskupova, LLM, M.A.
A bit more about me

As a bohemian beach girl, an avid photographer, writer, reader and traveller, I have always operated on ‘rebel’ mode.
I have learned the value and purpose of breathing, grounding, clearing, walking barefoot on the beach, dancing between raindrops, and even the occasional skinnydip in the ocean. I chase rainbows and often have a spontaneous desire to jump in my car and drive as far as I can just before running out of gas to see what adventures await me.
The sad part is that I didn't see any of it until I lost the love of my life, my husband Jim. Still, through my suffering, 'life' was somehow breathed back into me in a way that allowed me to see the beauty in change, in pain, in dreams, emotions, success and even failure.
I now find great comfort in helping others move through grief, disappointment, fear, change, and emotional upheaval without allowing it to consume them. As a certified Gentle Trauma Release Practitioner and Empowerment Coach, I will show you how to honor your feelings and use them as a guide to moving forward on life's journey.
Your body is your truest alchemist. It’s you, your heart, soul, body and mind that has more power than any book, any person’s advice, or rules put on us to “fit in” to the world’s idea of a woman. When we take control of our life, understand our truest story of who we are, we become unstoppable.
I am excited to get to know you and help you reveal the Barefoot Woman inside of you!
