Here is what a couple of Carrie’s clients, students and workshop attendees have had to say about working with her:
“I was six months in practice and already feeling bored with my work when I stumbled on Carrie Taylor. Her courses and her way of looking at the body transformed my practice. I am now doing the work I love and am eager to get to my office each day. I use the DVDs as a resource almost weekly and learn something new each time I review them. Caution: these courses are not for the therapist looking to pick up a few CEUs–Carrie Taylor’s Technique will shake up your practice and blow your mind. And your clients will be as grateful as you are that you took classes in the Taylor Technique.
Thank you! I don’t think I would still be practicing if it weren’t for you. This was just what I was looking for.”

“Hi Carrie,
Been getting some really exciting feedback from some of the techniques you taught last week and was able to use this week.
Just treated a local chiro yesterday for elbow -wrist pain.she trades with other LMTs but didn’t see any relief and remembered that I do different work.
She texted me this morning :
“Seriously Lynne – thanks so much!
I’m excited to continue in your care.
it’s the most relief I’ve had in 6mos.
So powerful what you do!”
Yes! I did bone bending because I noticed after we did it in class how good my forearm felt. Just wanted you to know how you changed this skeptic into a bone-bending believer xo
Just a testimony to your great teaching and techniques. I get feedback all the time like that but from a chiro in this area is huge. Can’t wait to tell her about you!”
