Taunya is certified by The Institute for the Psychology of Eating, The American Council on Exercise (ACE), & Relationships First with over 3 decades of experience in the industry.

Taunya’s father was a former Olympian, her brother was a body-builder and owned a World Gym. She first worked in Southern California as a group-fitness instructor, then as a personal trainer in Lake Tahoe, where she lived for 13 years. She brought her talents to the island of Maui over 20 years ago, & began coaching there.

She enjoys bringing movement, health and balance into people’s lives, with the motive of helping them embody their unlimited potential.

When she’s not coaching clients, researching for their sessions, training in the gym, developing programs, or creating healthy menus, you can find her hiking with her husband, swimming in the ocean, dancing, trying new restaurants, going to the movies, listening to inspirational podcasts, reading or traveling and snowboarding.

As your health coach, I will help you let go of the habits that are not serving you and replace them with LIFESTYLE habits that do.

Habits that will allow you to live a healthier life OVERALL. A life in which you are finally IN CONTROL of your emotions and physical body. A life you can finally wake up to with a “I FEEL GOOD SMILE’ because you committed to the “Feel Great Naked” challenge with me and gave your life a NEW NORMAL!

Hi there! Taylor Sappington; it’s nice to meet you. After 9 years in the corporate medical field I made the decision that I wanted to work WITH people and no longer FOR them! I have my degree in dietetics and I am currently in the process of getting my Master’s in Nutritional Therapy. As a perpetual student of life I believe that self discovery is the first step in healing, followed by a deep understanding of ourselves which will translate to a deep understanding of where we are in life and where we are going. I am here with an extended hand ready to walk with you on your journey.

After spending several years in a very typical corporate America management career, I felt it was time to step outside of my left-brained self and start following my own personal dreams. The wellness industry called to me, as I found it to be the perfect combination of giving me the opportunity to help people get from their “A” to “B,” while doing it in an environment that I’ve felt comfortable in my entire life. My current focus is to help others that have experienced what I, and many of my former clients, have experienced in their relationship with food. I want to help reduce the stress we too often put on ourselves around the subject of eating, and serve as a trail guide for others on their journey to find the joy in food, and the blessings in life.

My passion has always been to empower others to live their most authentic lives and I look forward to assisting you in your journey toward freedom from food and body image challenges, so that you may achieve a life of clarity, focus, ease, and grace.

I am an experienced educator, cognitive trainer, mental health professional, ACE Certified Health Coach, and IPE Certified Eating Psychology Coach, with specialties in mind-body nutrition, brain health, trauma, attachment and stress and disability management.

I have many years of experience helping women understand and make peace with the often complex relationship between food and our relationship with life. I nurture and guide clients into exploration and discovery of thoughts, feelings, behaviors and symptoms which may serve as roadblocks to a healthy, happy life. Together, we will traverse the journey to helping you identify and trust your real “life” hunger and honor your deepest desires. Would it be okay if your life got easier? Just say yes; it’s your turn now.

“There is an invisible strength within us; when it recognizes two opposing objects of desire, it grows stronger.” Rumi

Teri has had an unending passion for all things health and fitness her whole life. Yet, growing up depressed, underweight, extremely self conscious and always feeling subpar drove her to find creative ways to succeed when mainstream tactics were ineffective or unacceptable. Voraciously pursuing health strategies by attending conferences, taking classes and doing research & experimentation has allowed her to sort through the plethora of information available today. A former recipe writer for the largest online raw food store, the raw food world, was a way to share her love of delicious healthy food to the world. Becoming an Eating Psychology Coach has tied together nicely the package she offers in helping others live a life of congruency. Teri is especially adept at goal setting and formulating a flexible plan to achieve such. She is honored to guide others on their own journey without judgement.

For guys intent on making the most of later life by eating in ways that fit their food likes/dislikes, personal goals, and actual lifestyle.

Thank you for checking my information! My struggle with weight has been ongoing. I was never a thin child, I was very tall and my weight kept up with my height. I came from an Italian family where life revolved around celebrations and food. I did not have the healthy metabolism my siblings had. My mother was always dieting and weight was often discussed. When I was thirteen I went on a diet. At first, I lost weight and got lots of compliments, but I didn’t stop and my “diet” resulted in Anorexia Nervosa.

At the time no one was talked about it and even doctors did not understand it. They just told me to eat more. In short, I finally did start eating more and gained the weight back plus much more. I became overweight. It lead me on a path and journey I could have done without, but I have learned so much and am inspired to help others avoid the many years of struggle with weight issues.

I am now at peace with food and weight. I would love to help you do the same! Please send me an email or text for more information.

Teshannee Moye is a Mind Body Eating Coach who began her journey during a fight with chronic eczema, digestion issues and fibroids. By taking a closer look at what appeared to be a love/ hate relationship with food she has discovered a new love for self. The solution is not based on self-punishment and just fixing the problem. The alternative approach finds answers by listening to the body, the symptoms, and the science of nutrition. If you are ready to embark on a life altering journey let’s talk about you and food!

Colorado-raised, now in LA, Tessie has been involved with Health and Fitness since the age of 4. As a competitive gymnast, bodybuilding champion and nationally ranked collegiate cheerleader, she has experienced both the celebrations and challenges of an athletic lifestyle.

Through years of her own transformational journey and self-discovery, she has found peace with food, balance with exercise, and a passion for serving the world through inspirational wellness guidance. Tessie is:

• A Certified Emotional Intelligence/Personal Development Trainer
• A Level 2 CrossFit Coach/Celebrity Trainer
• A Public Speaker and Workshop Facilitator
• And a Certified Eating Psychology Coach

Her 7-step method to transforming habits is routed in mind-body nutrition and self-discovery work, allowing clients to continually step into the highest version of who they are meant to be in this world. One of her favorite sayings is “How we do one thing is how we do everything”. Every small step in a positive direction, and every lesson along the way… makes a BIG difference to our whole life, not just with food/diet/weight/etc.!
