Taryn Heart
What sets me apart from other helping professionals is that I have master’s degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology. I also have over 15 years of experience providing competent services helping people in alternative lifestyles such as Polyamory, kink, BDSM, open relationships, swinging and more. I am passionate about working with people in relationships. My focus in relationship and sex consulting is on improving communication and problem-solving skills, understanding patterns, and improving the sense of connection between partners.
Now a little about me personally. I want you to know I am coming from a place of knowledge, with both personal and professional experience. I have been poly all my life, though I didn’t always have the language for it. I’ve been in a variety of relationship dynamics and believe that all forms are valid as long as everyone consents. I discovered my kinky side in young adulthood and have really enjoyed exploring the world of BDSM and all it has to offer.
I approach helping others in a highly organic, intuitive way, and have spent many years training my intuitive senses to be able to pick up on things that might otherwise be missed. I tend to be somewhat informal, as I feel that it’s important to be a person first, and an expert second. I offer a highly-personalized approach tailored to each of my client’s individual needs to help them attain the personal growth they’re striving for. With an integration of complimentary approaches, I draw from a variety of methodologies and techniques to incorporate what is most helpful for each individual. I really believe everyone already has within them what they need to heal; we just sometimes need a helping hand. Let me be yours.

My healing path coupled with studying under and with amazing leaders has molded me in profound ways. It allowed me to hone a multi-faceted approach backed by a knowledge of people, spiritual principals, relationships, and health. From a young age I developed a reputation for being the one you could bring anything to and receive compassion and honesty. I am empathic by nature so compassion comes easily. I grew up in a big city in the Mid-West which cultivated my brutal honesty however, living out west has softened my edges and approach.
My approach in consulting has been to listen, listen some more, ask questions and then offer what opportunities could work. Things need to be tried out to know if they work for you. I have a myriad of tools and ideas at my disposal to support you and I am only attached to finding what will make you happy and enrich your life. I am never attached to what it takes to get you there. Everyone’s path to their desires is unique and personal. I have a realistic but bright view of life. There is so much to celebrate and be grateful for and some moments in life or relationships can just plain suck and are unfair. Life can feel heavy, hard, confusing, even infuriating and impossible. I know personally and professionally how difficult that can feel. I know the value of having an educated and open person in a safe space to explore what got a person(s) there and how to work on the paths to get one to brighter days. It is an incredible honor when people allow me to be in that space with them. I love appreciating the beauty in the dark and the light that one might not see so easily along the way on these journeys.
I have personal and professional experience with: sex positivity, consensual non-monogamy, kink, BDSM, polyamory, addictions, and traumas. Through my own experience, those I have worked with, and close friends I have discovered it’s not always easy to be with those you love. I believe that healthy love doesn’t always come easy, doesn’t always stay easy, looks different for Everyone and is worth every bit of that effort! Having that teammate(s) makes live so incredibly rich. That support really allows many people to blossom and create more with their life. Having that honor for oneself and learning healthy boundaries seems to open and support all the above. Life never ceases to stop becoming… “interesting”. Which gives us plenty of personal opportunities and opportunities within a relationship to grow. I am excited to help you discover the tools and habits that work best for You and Yours. I look forward to helping you discover; Your healthy, Your Joy, to find Your healing path and rediscover or maintain Your most awesome life!
