MISSION:
Taylor Lee Health and Wellness is to be a pathway within the community where people will feel safe telling their story, find encouragement, and seek wholeness.
We offer a welcoming environment filled with people gifted in specific areas including therapy, nutrition, and physical health. Our colleagues draw from fifteen years of professional experience working with individuals and groups. By placing an emphasis on engaging the societal impacts of trauma and employing positive coping strategies clients gain a more comprehensive awareness of self.
A strength-based model is used as a fundamental guideline when engaging clients. This empowers clients to do the things within their skill set to address immediate needs in addition to setting goals for future success.
This methodology invites the full demographic of the community, living in a cycle of overwhelming stress and trauma, to access appropriate resources.
Make an appointment with us today to discuss the next steps in your healing journey.

Community Partners:
Nancy Brooks, an educator in the field of innate knowledge, has spent the last 30 years teaching adults and “kids at risk” in classes such as Interviewing Your Dreams as a Resource for Life and Finding the Creative Person Within. Brooks has taught seminars in high schools, colleges, universities and within community organizations such as Survivors of Suicide and Compassionate Friends.
In 2003, Brooks wrote and published DreamScapes: An Inspirational Guide to Your Dreams. She mentored with Dr Robert Reasey - Jungian dream worker and studied under Dr Gayle Delaney - author, founder and first president of the International Association for the Study of Dreams. Brooks leads dream workshops/presentations and adult mentoring programs that give participants the opportunity to develop knowledge of dreams for personal life-long learning or as an expertise that can be coupled with other healing modalities.
DreamScapes, has been revamped and now called Many Dreams Many Journeys, that supplies all the basic dream information while taking a deeper look at how symbolism 24/7 impacts our lives through art expression as well as symbolism found in everyday living.
The concept of Dreams as an Art Form is a new venture that Brooks is introducing in Fall of 2023 at local galleries and within educational systems. This art form allows artists to look at dreams through the symbolism, emotion and storytelling found in our nightly theatrics.
A dynamic speaker, Brooks was a frequent guest speaker on Fox News and talk radio within the Baltimore, MD area. She was affiliated with Namaste Retreat Center – Personal Growth and Development Center – previously located in Boerne, TX. Brooks was also certified by the National Holistic Nurses Health Association, providing continuing education hours to nurses and healthcare providers.
