Hi, I’m Taryn.

 

I’m a Doctor of Occupational Therapy and the founder of True Nature Collective. I help women reconnect with themselves, gain clarity, and move forward in their lives with confidence and intention.

​

My work sits at the intersection of clinical training, coaching, and lived experience. I bring together my background in occupational therapy, advanced coaching certifications, trauma-informed practice, and outdoor immersion to support women in creating meaningful, lasting change.

 

At its core, occupational therapy is about more than rehabilitation. It is about participation, fulfillment, and how we engage in our lives. It looks at the dynamic relationship between a person, their environment, and the activities that give their life meaning.

 

My work extends that lens beyond the clinic and into real life.

 

Into the decisions you are making.

The relationships you are in.

The way you spend your time and energy.

And the direction you are moving toward.

 

Many of the women I work with are capable, thoughtful, and deeply self-aware. From the outside, their lives often look “together.” But internally, they feel disconnected, unclear, or caught between what they think they should want and what they actually want.

 

My role is to help you come back to yourself.

 

To quiet the noise.

To reconnect with your intuition.

To get clear on what you truly want.

And to take grounded, sustainable steps in that direction.

 

This work is not about quick fixes or surface-level motivation.

 

It is about building self-trust.

Undoing patterns like people pleasing.

Learning how to listen to your inner voice.

And creating a life that feels aligned, not just one that looks good on paper.

 

Nature has been one of the most powerful catalysts for this work in my own life.

 

Some of my biggest moments of clarity have come while I’ve been outside. Backpacking, hiking, or simply stepping away long enough to hear myself think again.

 

That is what led me to create immersive experiences like The Wild Within, a guided wilderness expedition for women in the Wind River Range. These experiences are designed to take this work deeper by combining physical challenge, time in nature, and intentional space for reflection and connection.

 

In addition to creating my own work, I have practiced as an occupational therapist across multiple settings including hospitals, schools, and outpatient care. I have also lived and worked across the country, served in the Peace Corps, and taken many unconventional paths in pursuit of a life that feels aligned and meaningful.

 

These experiences shape how I support my clients.

 

I understand what it feels like to be at a crossroads.

To grieve life not going "as planned."

To question everything.

To want something more without knowing exactly what that is yet.

 

When you work with me, you are not just getting a coach.

 

You are entering a space where you will be seen, supported, and challenged in the ways that matter.

 

I will help you access your own clarity, not give you answers.

I will support you in taking action, not just thinking about change.

And I will hold you to the life you say you want.

 

And yes, along the way, I will absolutely hype you up when you need it.
