full time on health and fitnessAbout Taylor Somerville
Taylor Somerville founded Symmetry after working in the investment business for 15 years. Going through a divorce in 2014, Taylor discovered breath work as a way to deal with the stress and anxiety in his personal and professional life. Through breath work, Taylor was able to learn how to respond to stressful situations in a productive manner rather than reacting.
In 2017, after seeing the positive changes in himself, Taylor felt a calling to help others with improving their own stress management, anxiety, athletic performance and overall health and wellness. We all struggle with these issues at some point in our lives but there are tools we can use to better prepare ourselves to handle stress. Now, Taylor focuses on teaching you these tools to empower yourself. He wants you to take control of your life and help you improve your life.
