Meet Taylor Whitney!
Certified Massage Therapist, Herbalist, and founder of Silver Souls.
As a lifelong athlete, fitness enthusiast, and yogi, I’ve always had an appreciation for recovery and a passion for learning how to help the body thrive to maximize performance. That foundation, combined with my own recovery from spinal injuries, shaped my dedication to helping others move freely and live pain-free.
My work blends Structural Integration methods, abdominal massage, and fire cupping, with the goal of not only relieving pain but also restoring alignment, mobility, and resilience. My practice is rooted in Anatomy Trains Structural Integration after studying Tom Myers’ fascial meridian system, which forms the backbone of my approach. In addition, my training in Alchemical Herbalism with the School of Evolutionary Herbalism deepened my knowledge of plant medicine, which I weave into my work to support holistic healing.
I’m also an avid researcher of the mind-body connection, drawing inspiration from authors such as Matthew Wood, Cyndi Dale, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, and Ram Dass. This ongoing study fuels my passion for psychosomatic healing and informs the depth of my sessions.
Today, I work with a wide range of clients—from athletes and fitness professionals, to those recovering from injuries or living with chronic pain, to everyday people seeking better posture, alignment, and relief from stress and tension.
No matter who I work with, my mission is the same: to help you thrive in your body so you can do what you love, pain-free.
Supporting Vitality Instead of opposing disease; the holistic approach
Western medicine has its “differential diagnosis,” where the presenting symptoms can generate a list of possible (differential) causes, ultimately leading to the diagnosis. although this approach has some value, herbal medicine is less concerned with the formal diagnosis.
Instead, herbal medicine aims to carefully consider organ systems, strengths and weaknesses, underlying (stress, toxicity, poor nutrition, poor sleep, circulatory, weakness, inflammatory process, allergic hypersensitivity, and so on), and how to support in nourishing basic organ function and systemic vitality. Medicines employed by herbalists are typically aimed at restoring function and supporting the innate recuperative powers of the body.
The intelligent wisdom of the body to heal itself is sometimes referred to as “Vital Force,” and herbalists aim to support the vital force more so than to oppose the symptoms of disease. Almost all herbs offer at least one nutritive, being more like foods than drugs, and by nourishing the body and stimulating the vital force, the body is supported and healing itself.
