Meet Taryn Gray
Taryn is the visionary behind A Centred Life Well-Being Hub, and CENTRED Magazine, a free monthly digital publication, who is on a mission to make women’s well-being a priority.
Taryn, a dedicated lifelong learner, has spent her career seamlessly integrating her extensive qualifications in holistic wellness coaching, energy psychology, and beauty therapy.
This unique blend fuelled her successful career in the corporate beauty and high-end spa industry, as well as her own women’s wellbeing studio.
Six months ago, she left her 30-year corporate career to give women agency over their lives.
Leveraging the proven methodologies developed in her ‘A Centred Life’ wellness studio—a carefully cultivated two-day-a-week practice—she transitioned from bespoke in-person sessions, integrating holistic coaching, skin and body treatments, and energy healing, to a comprehensive online wellness hub.
She then launched CENTRED Magazine, a free monthly digital publication featuring expert insights and inspiring stories from everyday women. Taryn’s mission: to empower women with actionable wellbeing information, fostering a supportive community that counters mindless scrolling.
Taryn’s approach is free from pressure and guilt, offering ‘juicy wellbeing goodness’ that guides and supports women. She empowers them to unravel conditioning, value their worth, and unapologetically prioritise their wellbeing. Her actionable tips easily fit into any life, meeting women wherever they are on their journey.
The magazine shines the light on ‘regular’ women that have the most inspirational stories, who generously and vulnerably share their wisdom, strengthening the underlying core value of females supporting females, knowing, we are such a powerful force for good when we work together.
This in turn, models to our daughters and sons, that a women’s worth needs to be respected, honoured and highly valued in society, thus dismantling the archaic conditioning that teaches our girls that they don’t count.

Taryn’s personal journey
In 2008, Taryn faced a devastating battle with unexplained infertility, a four-year, near-$100,000 emotional and financial rollercoaster. The journey culminated in the birth of her twins (girl/boy), but the stressful pregnancy left her with unprocessed trauma.
Immediately immersed in motherhood, she didn’t pause to heal.
Over the next twelve years, Taryn relentlessly pursued knowledge, earning over 20 coaching and wellness certifications, building upon her established spa and beauty career.
Driven by empathy and a deep desire to serve, she poured herself into supporting loved ones and clients navigating mental health crises, addiction, abuse, and loss.
This relentless giving, without prioritising her own well-being, led to crippling anxiety, panic attacks, and PTSD, compounded by weight gain, skin issues, and diminished self-esteem. All while managing a household, supporting her husband’s business, and raising her twins.
Taryn’s realisation was stark: if she, with her extensive qualifications, struggled to implement self-care, what hope did other women have?
Passionate about unravelling archaic gender conditioning, living consciously rather than on autopilot, and making women’s wellness an unapologetic priority, she is on a mission to help women remember the agency they have, to decide what they will and won’t accept, and consciously stamp out gender bias when raising future generations.
From this, A Centred Life wellbeing Hub and CENTRED Magazine were born.
Seeing the world through my daughter and sons’ eyes drastically highlighted the often-unconscious conditioning our girls (and boys) face.
Why did it feel totally normal to put everything ahead of myself in the service of others at the detriment of my own health?
Even as a wellness expert with all the answers, I felt a weird sense of pride being useful and I didn’t give it a second thought putting my needs to the side.
My burnout is not unique in the world of women who’s invisible mental, emotional and spiritual load has them slipping off the end of their never-ending to-do lists.
How do I teach my daughter the world expects her to be in selfless service to others just because of her gender?
That the needs of others are more valuable than her?
That she must play the game of life with a totally different set of rules and expectations than her twin brother.
