After dropping out of college after three years, Taryn Shank was looking for what she wanted to do with her life. Nevertheless, like most twenty-year-olds, she was clueless. As she jumped from job to job, she began to apply some of the things she was learning while studying fitness and nutrition and her life began to feel better. With a newfound love for cooking, Shank was intrigued by the idea of opening a café and took a job at a local organic café while interning with a naturopathic doctor. Soon enough, Shank realized she had no interest in opening a café. But she was bought by the idea of holistic. Voila! A holistic health coach was born determined to help women of all ages overcome emotional and binge eating.

On her Instagram and blog, Shank seeks to encourage people to connect with their internal hunger cues. To develop an intuitive approach and find what works for you. What makes you feel your best. Her passion and creative recipes encourage her clients to find a balance with their food and enjoy it without any restrictions or guilt. By encouraging women to take their power back when it comes to food, she is redefining their life-consuming obsession with the food rules. No more obsessing about calories or feeling guilt or shame. Just freedom!
