Hi, I am Taryn Barlow,

cognitive health coach and

speech-language pathologist

You didn't choose brain injury and now what?

I believe every person is capable of progress. Even when life takes an unexpected turn, we carry tools within us to heal, grow, and thrive. There is no “plateau” in brain injury recovery — instead pause, pivot, and plan new paths forward.

My passion lies in helping individuals rebuild confidence in their brains after injury. I combine my clinical expertise with a deep commitment to neuro-wellness, offering virtual coaching that meets you where you are — in your home, your community, your life.

My journey

I’m a wife, mother of two boys, daughter, sister, friend, and self-professed nerd. My professional path has taken me across the healthcare system; inpatient, outpatient, acute rehab, and long-term care. I’ve seen firsthand the gaps in support for those navigating life after brain injury.

Personally, life has thrown in a few unexpected re-directions of my own. My first son was born with a birth defect that impacted his esophagus, followed by surgical complications that taught me the power of advocacy. Years later, I experienced a hemiplegic migraine that mimicked a stroke — a moment that led me to radically shift my lifestyle and become my own first client.

Why Cognitive

Health Coaching?

Traditional rehab often misses the nuances of real life; managing a household, returning to work, volunteering, and simply being present. I created Cognitive Health Coaching™ to bridge that gap. It’s about personalized care, not protocols. It’s about wellness, not illness. And it’s about honoring your story while helping you write the next chapter.

You have access to endless information; but how do you know what’s right for you? That’s where I come in. I’m here to be your guide, your advocate, and your partner in change.

Let’s work together to reclaim your confidence, your clarity, and your joy.
