Women In Wellness: Taylor Paige of Angels & Amethyst On The Five Lifestyle Tweaks That Will Help Support People’s Journey Towards Better Wellbeing
An Interview With Candice Georgiadis
Try to move your body every day! This is so important. Even if it’s just a walk for 10 minutes, that’s better than nothing! It’s a great way to get outside, to connect with friends or loved ones, and to reset your energy. Our emotions can get stuck in our body, and movement is so important to let things go, to work through heavy emotions, and to feel energized.
As a part of my series about the women in wellness, I had the pleasure of interviewing Taylor Paige of Angels & Amethyst.

Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series! Our readers would love to “get to know you” better. Can you share your “backstory” with us?
My pleasure! Yes, I am an Angelic Intuitive, and birth chart astrologer. Meaning, I work with angelic energy and the astrology of your birth chart to help you connect with your path of highest good. I am basically a spiritual chiropractor helping you find your way back to alignment. I’m a Scorpio sun, Aries, rising, and Sag Moon for anyone interested in astrology. 😊 Before I answered the call to this work, I was an actress and comedy writer, I never thought I would share my spiritual side with the world, especially professionally. But friends started asking for readings, and then friends of friends, and it spiraled into something so beautiful, it’s been my joy to follow it.
Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started your career? What were the main lessons or takeaways from that story?
I feel like I have one of the most interesting careers in the world, since I speak to people daily and help guide them through some of their toughest moments and crossroads in life. Every day is different. A beautiful story that happened right before the pandemic started does come to mind. I was reading for a woman and her angels told me that a baby was coming in. She was a nurse, and she said that was impossible because she had a very hard time getting pregnant and she wasn’t even trying. Well, her angels said that the baby was coming in and that the timing was very intentional and important. Fast-forward, she got pregnant unexpectedly, and the timing of her maternity leave saved her from the harshest part of being a nurse during the pandemic, which was important because she had another young child at home with health issues. Stories like this, and countless others, really show me how supported we are on our path. It truly changes your life to sit with people each day and connect with their angels.
Can you share a story about the biggest mistake you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that?
Time-management has been something that I’ve had to learn. When I had my first big wave of people asking for many readings at once, I really wanted to help everyone as quickly as possible. I’ve had to learn that I need to limit how many people I see a day, which was really a practice in learning my own physical limitations as a reader. Energetic boundaries are also so important in this work, and truly once you set them, and make it clear how much you can and can’t do, you attract the right clients to you that respect that.
Let’s jump to our main focus. When it comes to health and wellness, how is the work you are doing helping to make a bigger impact in the world?
I believe that true health and wellness includes mind, body, and soul. My mission statement is to connect as many people as possible to their angelic guides. A part of this is healing the mental-blocks, mean thoughts, self-deprecation, and shadows that try to scream over the voice of our angels. Many people have a craving for intuitive work, but also have a little fear or apprehension around it. Angelic connection is the perfect entry-point. It is all love. I believe that if more people were connected with their angels, or even knew that they had angels, the world would shift for the better.
Can you share your top five “lifestyle tweaks” that you believe will help support people’s journey towards better wellbeing? Please give an example or story for each.
Sure!
The first would be to listen to the whispers of your body before they turn into screams. Our bodies are our biggest divining tools, and the very first way (most times) that our intuition speaks to us. Whether it’s a tightness in the chest, flutters in the stomach, or a nagging headache when you’re around someone. Our body is always speaking to us, it’s tempting to just take an Advil, drink coffee, ignore our hunger etc. But all those little signals are important feedback.
The second is to release regimentation when it comes to your wellness routine. Sometimes I find we can get burnt out in the wellness space because we aren’t listening to what we really need or want. We are blindly following labels, or a routine that is holding us captive and that makes us feel guilty if we don’t follow it perfectly. Be gentle on yourself, know that these routines are meant to serve us. Let yourself play, listen to what you want that day, and try new things so you don’t feel stagnant or too militant with yourself.
Thirdly, I really encourage some type of daily mindfulness practice. Whether it’s journaling, walking in nature, meditating (my personal favorite), pulling an oracle card, etc. Our thoughts truly create our reality, and it’s so important to see the loops of negative thinking as messengers, showing us where we need to heal. But if we don’t take the time to slow down and listen, we will take the negative thoughts as truth.
Fourth, if you feel comfortable with it, invite your angels in out loud! Angelic energy is all about honoring your free will, so they won’t intervene if you don’t invite them in. I like to do it in the morning before I start my day. It can be as easy as saying, “Angels, please guide me with your unconditional love on my path of highest good.”
And lastly, try to move your body every day! This is so important. Even if it’s just a walk for 10 minutes, that’s better than nothing! It’s a great way to get outside, to connect with friends or loved ones, and to reset your energy. Our emotions can get stuck in our body, and movement is so important to let things go, to work through heavy emotions, and to feel energized.
If you could start a movement that would bring the most amount of wellness to the most amount of people, what would that be?
I think better education around connecting with our intuition. Especially in childhood. So many people get scared or turned off because they don’t have the tools or knowledge to properly tap into their birthright of intuitive connection. Every single person in the world has the ability to connect. I think if everyone was in communion with their higher self and had the education and tools to do that the world would drastically change. Everything else is connected to that.
What are your “5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Started” and why?
I’m not sure I have 5 things I wish someone told me before I started. I really believe that the lessons that I’ve gone through on this path have been exactly what I needed to experience and learn to get to where I am. I have also felt very guided every step of the way on this path, which I think is a unique perk of my job, ha!
One thing on my wellness path would be to not believe in the moments of pain or illness (mind, or body) that it will always be like this. It’s so easy in our lowest moments to feel like we will never go back to feeling better. Like the pain will last forever, but that is simply not true. It’s all temporary.
Another important message is that fear lies. Fear is the best liar. It disguises itself as intuition, premonitions, and downloads. It’s so easy to keep ourselves small, to waste so much of our energy on worry, fear, and anxiety. See the fear as signposts showing you the shadows needed to be healed.
Sustainability, veganism, mental health and environmental changes are big topics at the moment. Which one of these causes is dearest to you, and why?
They are all so dear to me! And I think they are all connected as well. But, veganism was my entry point into health and wellness. I have been vegan for 14 years this year. I have always been energetically sensitive and eating animals has never felt aligned for me. However, I firmly believe that each body is different and needs different things to be well. Strictly labelling ourselves goes back to that militarization in the wellness world that is not productive. We are always growing and evolving. Be easy on yourself.
