Today we’d like to introduce you to Taimi Lawlor
Taimi, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
In my early 20’s, I was living as complete perfectionist who was plagued by panic attacks, sleepless nights, severe constipation, & excessive exercise. You could label me as a high functioning anxious person who did not know how to rest or relax, all the while trying to prove that I was “good enough.” Instead of spinning in my never ending symptoms, I directed all my energy into getting to the root cause of the anxiety to improve my physical and mental health. And it worked.
Today I am an Integrative Anxiety Specialist, Certified Health Coach, & RYT500 Yoga Instructor who believes in an integrative approach to healing the body and mind. My previous background as a Speech & Language Pathologist serves me well today as I work with clients who want to reduce their anxiety. In my Aligned Program, my clients work with me 1:1 over 4 months with tailor made programs based upon their unique genetics and cellular health testing.
From bio individualized genetic and cellular testing to specific lifestyle and nervous system supports, I possess the tools to create tailored programs so my clients have more energy to get on their mat and get shit done!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
As I have gotten older, I have realized that the things we love and want most require the most persistence and effort. Running a business that offers a number of modalities requires a lot of behind the scenes work. Apart from the daily administrative tasks, I am also refining my skill set to gain a deeper understandings of genes, epigenetics, minerals, & the mind/body therapies. It is a constant balancing act and a realization that this is an on-going process, so I need to make sure I give myself breaks. Accepting that the work will always be there. The other big challenge is the realization that not everyone I meet will resonate with the unique way of getting to the root of anxiety. That is OK as we are all on our own healing journey. I believe part of my work is to plant seeds of information and inspiration.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I am a female owned business that offers clients a unique way to get to the root of their anxiety. In doing so, they gain more energy, lose weight, sleep better, and most importantly, improve their ability to manage their emotions. No one else in the health coaching world is blending cellular health with genetics while adding the support of the mind/body connection. My plans are tailor made and I work with clients 1 on 1 over the course of 4 months. I hold their hand every step of the way so they can implement the action plan that is generated from their unique bio-indivualized testing. I use a hybrid model, meaning I am able to work with clients in person or over the intranet. My clients come to me to learn the ways they need to adjust their physiology through supplementation, minerals, diet, and lifestyle. But, I also offer them quick and easy tools that can shift their nervous system from fight or flight to a place of calm and ease.
How do you think about luck?
I use to think my debilitating anxiety and depression was bad luck and horrible genetics.
When I was at my lowest point, I never thought my life would improve. I couldn’t see it now like I can, but that “bad luck” turned into good luck as it allowed me to acquire the tools and skills to heal so now I can pay it forward to help others who feel stuck like I once was.
