SPECIALIZED MIND-BODY THERAPY IN CALIFORNIA
You deserve to feel free, clear, and alive in your body & life.
I help people experience relief from anxiety and chronic symptoms, & clarity in life transitions like divorce, menopause, and career changes by combining science-backed tools with somatic therapy and attuned, relational support so what once felt out of your control can begin to shift for good.
This therapy hits deeper than symptom management. It’s for people who are ready to heal, grow, and feel fully like themselves again, maybe even for the first time.
Are you longing to feel better… but keep looping back in the same cycles, no matter what you try?
This is part of being human. You’re not broken. Your brain and body are just protecting you.
Which is why the right support at this time is crucial.
You’ve known what to do up to this point, but it’s not working anymore. That’s where Inner Ease Therapy can help.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, chronic symptoms, emotional overwhelm, or navigating a major life transition, it’s not that you haven’t tried hard enough, it’s that your nervous system is stuck in protection mode.
This can create a protective loop - keeping certain patterns switched on, even when they’re no longer serving you.
Whether you're navigating overwhelming emotions, physical symptoms without clear answers, or a major life transition, this stuckness can feel exhausting.
Mind-body therapy helps interrupt these patterns and gently rewire your system… so you can feel calm, clear, and back in the flow of your life again.
What we do together includes:
Evidence-based tools to regulate your nervous system and create a new emotional baseline
Somatic support to increase a sense of safety while releasing anxiety, pain, and/or emotional overload
Cognitive-based strategies to rewire limiting patterns and create new beliefs and ways of being
Personalized guidance to restore internal balance, resilience, and energy
Hi, I’m Leah.
I’m here to help you break free from the cycle of pain, anxiety, and overwhelm (or shutdown)… so you can get your life back.
I’m Dr. Leah Taylor, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and PhD in Mind-Body Medicine. For over 15 years, I’ve helped people use mind-body and somatic approaches to reduce pain, ease symptoms, and feel more in control of their health and life.
Unlike traditional talk therapy that can feel like it takes forever to experience relief, I use neuroscience and scientifically-validated somatic techniques combined with attuned empowering support to help you:
Understand how your brain works and why it reacts the way it does to keep you safe.
Internalize simple practices that rewire your brain and address the root causes of symptoms.
Release trauma and stress without reliving the experience over and over.
Know how to easily shift negative thought loops and release undesirable emotions.
Become the hero of your life again, so you create story you desire to live.
Being a healer today is both rewarding and demanding. I provide therapy and consultation for therapists and coaches who want to stay regulated, resourced, and authentic in their work.
Together we’ll explore how to:
Stay grounded in challenging seasons without burning out.
Notice when old patterns or triggers arise and meet them skillfully.
Build daily practices that allow you to show up fully to your clients and in your life.
Merge your professional self with your creative self for fulfilling and sustainable work.
When you feel resourced and inspired, your presence is your most effective tool — and your client’s results skyrocket!

How it works
Step 1 — Schedule an Intake Session
We’ll dive into your history, symptoms, and goals so I can get a full picture of your needs + inner and outer resources. This first session also includes tools you can use to feel better right away.
Step 2 — Your Personalized Plan
Based on your intake, I’ll create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you that follows the Inner Ease Method.
Step 3 — Focused Therapy + Between Sessions Support
In sessions, you’ll learn validated mind-body tools designed to create new neural pathways and lasting relief. I offer voice and text support between sessions to build confidence and keep momentum going, which equals expedited healing and less time in therapy.
Step 4 — Lasting Change
Because this work retrains your brain and nervous system, many clients notice meaningful shifts within weeks, and leave with tools and confidence that last long after therapy ends.

How is Inner Ease Therapy different?
Healing starts with safety. And from safety, everything begins to shift.
If you’ve been doing everything “right,” and still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck - it’s not a sign that something is wrong with you. It’s a sign your nervous system may be caught in an old loop, trying to protect you in ways that no longer serve.
Most traditional therapy helps you understand your thoughts.
I help you shift the patterns beneath them.
My work goes beyond talk therapy to support the deeper layers of healing… through body-based practices, emotional processing, and safe, attuned connection. Together, we’ll work with your nervous system, your emotions, and the protective parts of you that may be keeping you stuck, even as you long to move forward.
Through mind-body medicine, we help you:
Understand how your nervous system is wired to protect you… and how to shift it into balance
Learn why certain symptoms appear - even when medical tests or logical explanations fall short
Use simple, evidence-based practices to rewire your stress responses and regulate emotions
Work with the parts of you that are resistant to change or stuck in survival
Reconnect with your strengths and move forward with clarity, steadiness, and self-trust
Our work together is grounded in trauma-informed, somatic, and neuroscience-backed methods.
I also understand that life happens between sessions. All clients receive voice-to-voice and text support and between-session tools - so progress happens quicker and lasts longer.
