Taylor Gonzales is a meditation teacher, hypnotherapist, and Reiki practitioner exploring the intersections of ‘alternative’ identity, healing, and spirituality.

Taylor found his first spark of healing in 2009 through a beginner’s yoga and meditation series—and never looked back. He went on to earn their 200-RYT in Kundalini Yoga and Meditation at Yoga Yoga in Austin, TX, and later deepened their studies in hypnotherapy with Grace Smith and Reiki with Heart Space Holistic.

Today, Taylor shares accessible meditation practices with those who are new to spirituality, with a special dedication to the marginalized community and anyone who identifies as just left of center. Their work weaves together studies in Reiki, Buddhism, Taoism, Vedic sciences, hypnosis, somatic healing, pranayama, astrology, and tarot—all in service of helping others reconnect to themselves and the world around them.

Having lived and practiced across the United States and abroad—including a four-month residency in Wellington, New Zealand—Taylor has discovered a simple truth: no matter the packaging, people’s needs are universal, and the keys to contentment lie in community and compassion.
