“Taryn has a beautiful ability to take a complex concept and intertwine multiple pieces of the puzzle together to form a broader view at hand. She incorporates and pulls from anatomy, psychology, movement, and weaves together a wonderful program. Taryn creates an environment that is comfortable and empowering to her students.”

“Taught my first restorative class tonight and I just wanted to say how useful your restorative training was! I was diving deep into my notes and I felt like I had you in my brain giving me tips as the class went along. In fact, I even had my manual tucked away at the front of the room, just in case. It gave me confidence knowing it was there!”
