Meet Trish Taylor – Ayurvedic Practitioner, Hormone Health Specialist & Holistic Wellness Expert

Meet Trish Taylor – The Woman Behind Life Retreat

Trish Taylor is a certified herbalist, Ayurvedic practitioner (Mind-Body Medicine), and holistic wellness expert with a lifelong passion for natural health that began long before it was fashionable. She is the founder of Life Retreat and the driving force behind every product, plan, and workshop the brand offers.

A Passion Born in a Herb Garden

Trish’s interest in natural health began in her early teens when her best friend introduced her to the Vogue Book of Making Natural Cosmetics and Medicines. While her friends were searching for spot creams, Trish was raiding her grandma’s herb garden for ingredients and marching her mom off to the pharmacy for rosewater, witch hazel, and glycerine. That early curiosity never left her.

It followed her to university, where she studied psychology and graduated with a B Soc Sci degree. But something was missing. Convinced there had to be a deeper connection between mind, body, and soul, she went on to qualify as a herbalist and furthered her studies through an American university, specialising in Ayurveda (Mind-Body Medicine). Her love of learning led her further still — into colour therapy, the work of Louise Hay, homoeopathy for home use, TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises), and yoga teacher training.

A Life Lived in Wellness

Beyond her qualifications, Trish is a wife, mother of four incredible adult children, sister, aunty, and soon-to-be granny. She is deeply proud that her children have grown up with a natural health foundation — glowing examples of what a healthy diet and lifestyle can do — and that they carry that knowledge forward, healing themselves and inspiring others.

Life has not always been plain sailing. Trish battled for years to fall pregnant before being blessed with her first child, and then three more. That personal journey is one of the reasons hormonal health became one of her greatest areas of expertise. She also survived a serious accident that left her temporarily blind and with brain damage — and after leaving the hospital with a cocktail of medicines, she chose to treat herself naturally. Her recovery deepened her conviction that the body, given the right support, has a profound capacity to heal.

Her Philosophy

Trish believes that we all intuitively know how to stay healthy and prevent significant illness — but that quick fixes have conditioned us to reach for a prescription rather than take ownership of the small, meaningful changes that make the biggest difference. That belief is the foundation of Life Retreat.

Her approach draws on Ayurvedic philosophy — a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing — combined with modern integrative health principles to address the root cause of imbalance, not just the symptoms. She works with the whole person: their diet, sleep, stress, movement, emotional wellbeing, and unique constitution.
