Taylor Hiedi Hatcher

Owner & Movement Therapist

Taylor Hatcher is the owner of the Dynamic Alignment Training Center.  She has developed an integrative approach to enhancing the movement of the human body by guiding clients to balance the human body’s inherit asymmetrical nature.

Helping the body-mind appropriately resource the many neuromuscular parts brings deep healing and the ability to sense oneself better. Her main goal is to help her clients become “unstuck” for freedom of choice and empowerment while resolving pain syndromes.

Her training and bodywork method is healing a wide variety of pain syndromes and improving athletic performance. Many of her insights into the body’s geometric patterns stem from her experiences as an elite and injured athlete, her innate kinesthetic perceptual skills, and her pursuit for practical and effective treatments.

“When you remember how to sense and balance your wings, the wings of your diaphragm, your bones and connect with specific muscle fibers tissues your entire movement system changes. Incorporating very specific muscle fiber activation and flexibility angles using reciprocal inhibition enhances movement choices with every step.”

Inviting the body to remember a more balanced subconscious patterning is taught by utilizing an approach with positive neurological feedback loops and preventing stretch and protective reflexes. Her mind-body approach is practiced with NLP and trance strategies to help her clients learn how to become more resourceful and resilient. It’s all connected.

Taylor is a New York State licensed massage therapist, NLP coach (neurolinguistic programming) and Eriksonian hypnotist, AIS practitioner (Active Isolated Stretching), and NASM certified personal trainer.  She is also certified in kinetic taping, sports performance enhancement, lifestyle and wellness coaching, active isolated stretching and strengthening, and orthopedic massage. 

She has an M.A. from George Washington University, a B.S. in Psychology and minor in Women's Studies from Portland State University, and an Associates degree in Occupational Health Studies from the Swedish Institute. As a Divison-1 Women’s Basketball captain for Portland State University, she earned several athletic and academic honors during her Divison-1 athletic career, in addition to a full-ride scholarship.
