Hi, I’m Taryn Gray
I’m a holistic wellness specialist, & founder of A Centred Life.
I launched A Centred Life in 2016 from the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia.
Shaped by my passion for learning and sharing wisdom, I aimed to utilise the knowledge and skills I have gathered over my career in the industries of holistic wellness, coaching, skincare & energy psychology.
Although my services have changed and evolved over the years, and I no longer offer hands-on treatments and healings, the one thing that will never change is my vision.
To share wisdom, and to create a community built around self-respect and conscious living.
Quite simply, I’m passionate about nurturing the health and well-being of women who are overwhelmed by the mental load of modern living.
Today, I run A Centred Life – as an online holistic wellness platform and coaching service, whilst continuing my 20-year association consulting alongside some of the biggest skincare, cosmetic and wellness companies at multi-brand e-commerce and beauty education sites www.beautycollective.com.au & professional beauty industry leader www.beautycollectivepro.com.au
Everyone deserves access to tools that empower them to live A Centred Life.
I have always been passionate about helping others, and my entire career has been based in the skin care, energetic healing, wellness and life coaching spheres.
I am, and always will be, a lifelong learner.
My list of enrolled courses and books to read is expansive. I genuinely love it.
I am fabulous utilising my qualifications to benefit others but was pretty rubbish following my own advice and training.
Yep. To my own detriment.
A snapshot of my recent years has seen me personally endure a life-changing battle with unexplained infertility and IVF treatments for 4 years, to living the joyous, crazy, unpredictable life as a mum of twins, being a wife, running a house/family, renovating, working, running my business and studying.
All the while supporting loved ones through their own journeys, including poor mental health, addiction, suicide attempts, age related illness, bullying, betrayal and loss.
I gave too much, for too long, without filling up my own cup, and ended up with overwhelming anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD. Weight gain, inflamed skin and low self-esteem were just a few of the cherries on top.
I felt a weird sense of pride being everyone’s saviour until I literally couldn’t do it anymore.
I based my self-worth around fixing people I loved.
I learnt the hard way that even with all the best intentions and effort, it makes absolutely no difference to people who don’t want to make positive changes personally.
Thinking I had it all under control, then coming completely undone.
Constant heart palpitations and panic attacks saw me end up in the emergency room on at least 5 occasions thinking I was literally having a heart attack. It was beyond frightening and so very real. Especially when it plays out in front of your petrified children.
My lightbulb took a while to turn on, but when it did, I knew I had all the tools to make the changes I so desperately needed.
My reality is that I am a highly sensitive empath so I will always be the ‘swoop in and let me help’ kind of person. But now, I consciously assess my own needs, and that of my family first. And I have come to the point where I am ok saying no.
I freed myself from expectations I created around my own self-worth and began designing the life I wanted to live.
Now, I’m here to help you do the same.
