About

Hi, I’m Taylor!

Welcome to Tayspiration, a place where I share my passion and knowledge of Naturopathic Medicine and Acupuncture!

“The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well.”

– Hippocrates

Tay behind the (in)spiration

Welcome, I’m Taylor! My mission is to help transform the health and well-being of the human community through my education and care as a doctor in the healing arts and sciences.

I chose to study Naturopathic Medicine and Acupuncture because I love problem-solving and I have a passion for addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of our health. I didn’t believe my high school anatomy teacher when he told me that someday I would be a doctor! My career started studying the complex biochemistry of the human body and doing molecular biology research in clinical gastroenterology. While working behind a lab bench to complete my thesis, I realized my true passion was working with people. After college, I spent two years working as a Nursing Assistant in the Intensive Care Unit at my local hospital and had the opportunity to shadow various healthcare professionals. Working in the conventional healthcare system reinforced my desire to serve my community. However, it also ignited an interest for finding and treating the root cause of disease rather than symptom management and suppression. Outside of the hospital setting, I shadowed another Physician-Healer whose model of patient care inspired me to move from Massachusetts to Washington state to pursue a dream of becoming a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and Acupuncturist (LAc.) at the leading school for natural health sciences, Bastyr University.

As a licensed Naturopathic Physician and Acupuncturist, I hope to provide education and empowerment for individuals to take action and make changes in alignment with their life goals. I hope to facilitate inquiry into one’s potential, provide options for taking actionable steps to get there, and help foster the appropriate growth for change. I feel so excited to have the knowledge and tools I have gained through my many years of didactic and clinical training to apply both in my personal life and to share in creative ways with the world!

I hope to provide inspiration for your health journey. Let’s walk the talk together!
