Taylor Puch, MS

Taylor Puch, MS

Hi there! I’m Taylor Puch, a dedicated advocate, researcher, and customer relations expert with a deep passion for the intersection of psychedelics, psychology, and advocacy. My academic journey culminated in a master’s degree in Research Psychology from Purdue University Global, where I graduated with a 4.0 GPA and published my thesis on the therapeutic potential of psilocybin in managing depression. This work not only fueled my interest in psychedelics but also shaped my commitment to advancing mental health treatment.

Currently, I serve as the Concierge Coordinator at Psychedelic Passage, where I connect individuals seeking psychedelic experiences with trusted facilitators, ensuring a compassionate and supportive process for those seeking therapeutic psychedelic experiences. My role allows me to leverage my expertise while fostering safe and transformative journeys for clients.

As an ambassador for the Students for Sensible Drug Policy, I advocate for harm reduction and drug policy reform at both the national and state levels. My involvement with the Policy Council Tactical Team has been particularly rewarding, where I’ve coordinated meetings with legislators and worked on critical initiatives to promote sensible drug policies.

Additionally, as a Youth Advisor for EntheoIL, I focus on increasing access to entheogens and supporting legislative efforts like the CURE Act. I’m passionate about creating a diverse and inclusive psychedelic ecosystem that prioritizes equity and community investment.

When I’m not immersed in research or advocacy, you might find me enjoying the outdoors or engaging with my local community. I’m excited about the future and look forward to contributing to the evolving landscape of psychedelic research and policy!

Let’s connect and explore how we can make a positive impact together!

Conférencière en Développement Personnel par le Sport – Kinésithérapeute, Experte en Santé et Bien-être

Passionnée par l’amélioration de la vie personnelle et professionnelle à travers le sport, la nutrition et la gestion du bien-être, je me consacre à aider les individus à retrouver leur équilibre, à se dépasser et à prendre en main leur propre transformation.

Diplômée en kinésithérapie, j’ai exercé pendant plus de cinq ans, dont deux années en accompagnement individuel intensif avec mes patients. Cette expérience m’a permis de voir de près à quel point les souffrances physiques et émotionnelles sont interconnectées. Fascinée par la volonté humaine et notre capacité à transformer nos vies, j'ai complété ma formation avec un master en management de la santé et des certifications en nutrition. Je me suis spécialisée dans l'impact du rythme circadien, de l’alimentation, et de l’activité physique sur la performance et le bien-être global.

En plus de ma carrière de kinésithérapeute, mon parcours personnel a profondément façonné mon approche du développement personnel. Après avoir traversé un burn-out, des troubles alimentaires sévères, et des défis émotionnels, j’ai découvert que le sport pouvait être un moteur puissant de guérison. C’est en me lançant des défis sportifs comme la préparation d’un marathon que j’ai repris le contrôle de ma vie, en retrouvant la santé mentale et physique, tout en réapprenant à m’aimer et à prendre soin de moi.

Aujourd’hui, je partage cette approche lors de conférences dynamiques et inspirantes, où je montre comment chacun peut devenir l’entrepreneur de sa propre vie. Que vous soyez dirigeant, entrepreneur ou simplement en quête de bien-être, je vous aide à dépasser vos limites, à développer votre détermination et à entreprendre des actions concrètes pour améliorer votre vie.

Je crois fermement que, quel que soit votre métier ou vos responsabilités, vous avez le pouvoir d’agir pour transformer votre existence à travers le changement, l’adaptation et la discipline sportive. Mon objectif est de vous transmettre cette vision, et de vous donner les outils pour que vous puissiez créer votre propre version du succès, tant physique que mental.

Thématiques de conférence :

Dépassement de soi et motivation par le sport : Comment le défi sportif peut devenir un levier puissant pour la transformation personnelle.
Gestion du stress et équilibre de vie : Utiliser l’activité physique pour trouver l’harmonie entre vie professionnelle et personnelle.
L’impact du rythme circadien et de la nutrition : Optimiser votre santé et vos performances grâce à une gestion éclairée de votre rythme biologique.
La prise de décision et l’action : Devenir l'entrepreneur de votre propre vie, en instaurant des changements concrets et durables.
