ABOUT ME

At the age of 24 I took a year off working to heal. While my sense of self was building, as was the depth of connections around me, my physical health had taken a toll. I was suffering from leaky gut, recurrent outbreaks of thrush, cystic acne, my nervous system was hanging on by a thread, and having entered in to a new relationship, all my triggers were being tested.

All of this pushed me even further in to self study. I dove in to books about psychology, the masculine and feminine energy, vulnerability, intimacy, spirituality, Buddhism, Astrology, epigenetics. The research not only educated me on a variety of topics, but it unlocked a dormant, and innate wisdom within me.

Over the course of the next 4 years, I consistently found myself talking to people about the blockages they were facing. Without knowing much about their circumstance I was able to feel where their energetic kinks were, and provide the language and clarity needed to move forward. The feedback was always the same - that’s exactly what they needed to hear, conveyed in a way that makes sense. It resonated as if it was a truth they’d always known, and I simply facilitated them in accessing it.

As my magnetic centre grew as a result of not only healing but being truly connected to my life force, THE life force. I began to see just how much how my energy had an impact on others, how when you hold yourself at a certain frequency, you invite others to meet you there. Leading me here - devoted to service.

Qualifications

Through 2014 - 2019 I completed my Bachelor of Communications and Public Relations with a Minor in Marketing at Griffith University. I went straight from high school in to Uni, originally entering with a Bachelor of Arts. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to maintain the momentum of learning.

I tried journalism which didn’t quite hit, then in the absence of any real calling I felt compelled to try Marketing. I enjoyed the psychological aspect of branding and sales, the aesthetic requirement that comes with it, and the sense of responsibility the business sphere can create. I spent a bit of time exploring this career path, maintaining my curiosity in how to modernise these somewhat outdated approaches. And once again, an intuitive ease was unlocked.

I found myself collecting clients by word of mouth, assisting them with what I called at the time ‘brand mentoring’. Essentially, small business owners or people wanting to start a business, expressed what they were having difficulty with, what blockages they were facing, and I communicated the world of branding and marketing in a way they could connect to, understand, and integrate. I took what felt like a broad and overwhelming concept, and made it bite sized and personalised.

Ultimately, after about a year I took a step back. Throughout this time I was back to working part-time in hospitality and part-time social media management for a friend’s cafe, and - little did I know - I was about to start teaching pottery (as I am also a ceramicist). So, in wanting to take time away from giving others business advice until I had embarked on my own venture, everything fell in to place as my next chapter began.

SIDE NOTE: I decided to take a step back in order to gain more experience and knowledge before continuing. I am someone who respects the exchange of value, and it didn't sit completely right giving advice where yes - I had an intuitive, innate, and intellectual understanding, but I hadn’t yet put it in to practice myself, not entirely anyway.

Throughout the next two years I became a pottery teacher allowing me to dive deeper in to my love for art and ceramics, while honing my ability to articulate, teach, and guide. I also continued by personal study, and began to experiment with all I had learnt in business, marketing, spirituality, Astrology, energetics. Naturally, they all began to intwine.

Present

Presently, while teaching pottery at my local studio, making art, and deepening my self study, I also offer my services.

Though still at the beginning stages of my business, I have acquired my learnings to date to facilitate a service that combines all my pivotal moments in to a formula.

Utilising my tool belt of esoteric wisdom, psychology, spirituality, business, Astrology, and intuitive guidance my goal in each session is to take what fog or lack of clarity you are experiencing whether it be business or personal, ground it in so that you may see it, and work together to put language to what is troubling you, reveal your core truths and innate gifts, and shift your perspective moving forward.

Essentially, I will feel where your energetic kinks are, and provide the language, clarity, and tools needed to move forward.

SIDE NOTE: With branding and marketing, we will utilise Astrology, Human Design, and your innate tendencies to build a sustainable approach and brand image, that feels truthful and aligned TO YOU.

The underpinning of all my work is - uncovering your truth. It is not my goal to tell you how to be or who to be, it is my aim to assist you in peeling back the layers that block your ability to shine. We are all here to contribute with our unique truth, success to me is when someone is able to access their individualised connection to source, and move from this place in empowered grace.

I owe all that I am today and onwards to uncovering my truth. This will always be the basis of my devotion.

Welcome to Existential Decision Making. This brand, platform, community, space is run by me, Taylah.

This space was created for a few reasons, all of which intertwine; expression, joy, exploration, purpose, art, self growth, service, community, business. I desired a space that felt like me, where I can both freely express, be honest about my journey, and ideally serve others along the way. My hope is to keep building this space.

Background

I was born and raised on the Northern Rivers, on Bundjalung country. The most common phrase I heard growing up was ‘do you ever stop talking?!’ - from day dot I was curious, open, expressive, and ready for some good, solid, deep discussions.

Like most, growing up I struggled with a sense of belonging, my extraverted nature drew in feelings of shame, and I was presented with many situations where my fiery side took to my defence. By my late teens to early twenties I had lost the connection to myself, and by design was pushed to explore what parts of my journey brought me to this place of anxious attachment, deep frustration and anger, detachment from my body, a confused sense of self, and an overall lack of confidence and self empowerment
