Taylar Shirley Catherine Enlow
my story
Inspired by natural forms and rhythms.
My name is Taylar Shirley Catherine Enlow. A mouthful— I know, but I believe that names carry meaning. Most simply call me Taylar. I was born in Lenapehoking on land also known as the city of Philadelphia.
I am a multidisciplinary creative and earth-based healing practitioner birthing and stewarding projects inspired by my first loves: storytelling and the natural world.
During my early teen years, I developed a chronic disease. That initiation led me to embrace the teachings of holistic healing and cyclical living long embodied in Eastern traditions, which remain foundational to my work today.
CURRENT work
I am the Founder and Creative Director of Heritage— a home for collective healing.
Central themes in my work include:
CULTURE • ecology • spirituality
I am deeply invested in the preservation of Black and indigenous cultural narratives, practices, and teachings— particularly those of women. My work is rooted in ancestral traditions of mutual care.
As the Founder of Heritage, my intention is to share these and highlight the work of those affecting positive change in their communities and for future generations.
Heritage is a media and lifestyle company creating space for kinship, conversation, and collaboration with Black, Indigenous, and POC artists and organizers working at the intersections of community education and care.
MORE ABOUT MY BACKGROUND
Alongside my role as Creative Director of Heritage, I also serve as a Community Voice for the National Folklife Network, an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts.
I am a graduate of Temple University and hold a degree in Global Studies with a concentration in Africana Cultures and Religions cum laude with distinction.
I am a certified Holistic Health Practitioner and gained my certification after studying East Asian Medicine, Ayurveda, and longevity science at the Academy of Healing Nutrition.
Additionally, I am certified in somatic womb work, a radical transdisciplinary modality that weaves together somatics, mindfulness, traditional earth-based wisdom and womb-pelvic bowl healing to support clients in cultivating greater womb and pelvic bowl embodiment.
I also hold a master level certification in the Usui Shiki Ryoho system of Reiki.
