About Me
“Fulfilment comes when we honour what is most important to us—when we listen to our hearts”. This is the ethos on which I founded Croí Living—inspired by the Irish word Croí, meaning “heart.”
Hi, my name is Saerlaith Taylor. My journey as a coach began after I experienced it’s effects. For over a decade, I had immersed myself in working for organisations and despite loving the work I wrestled with the challenge of commuting, feeling burnt out, isolated and unable to meaningfully fulfil my role as a mother. Coaching helped me to identify how I could change my situation. I moved from Dublin to Co. Mayo, I started my own business; a clinic and coaching practice, while also being able to parent to my children in a way aligned way.
I’m a qualified life coach with the Irish Life Coach Institute with advanced certification in career, parent, relationship and addiction coaching. I’ve undertaken training in trauma informed practice. I work coaching individuals and have experience in running wellbeing events and parent support groups. I am also a Speech & Language Therapist and have worked leading services in the NHS, HSE, and as a private clinic owner. I have worked as a teacher. And most importantly, I am a Mum to two incredible boys (awaiting the arrival of a third small human) and wife to a proud Yorkshireman.
I have been shaped by my years of experience of working with individuals as they navigate the stages of life; from birth to death. I’ve connected with people from diverse backgrounds, typically during their most vulnerable times and navigating significant transformations. I have witnessed the breadth of our human experience, alongside the remarkable resilience and strength we possess. These experiences convinced me that we all desire the same things; connection, meaning and to feel peace.

What Our Customers Have to Say
William
IT Customer
Hi Saerlaith! I just wanted to send you a message to let you know how much I appreciate your time and insight as a coach. You’ve been able to cut so quickly through years of avoidance and overwhelm and have given me such a clear sense of focus in a relatively tiny space of time. I wish I’d found you sooner, but I am really grateful to know you now. Thank you as always for being so helpful, genuine, generous, and honest, and for supporting me in really facing how I feel and what I think and using that self-knowledge to direct my life.

I had the privilege to link in with Saerlaith two years ago when I was at a crossroads in my professional life, and I found the whole experience extremely useful and smooth. Saerlaith guided me through the process seamlessly, was accommodating of my schedule, and helped me to come up with the right vision for my future. She managed to balance listening really well with asking the right questions that led me to contemplate, challenge, and reevaluate some of my ideas, hopes, and beliefs, and I felt completely validated and supported by her. I have recommended her to many people since and would certainly use her services again.
James
IT Customer
Following my experience I think that everyone should have a life coach! From the very first session with Saerlaith, I felt heard, supported, and understood. Her genuine care and thoughtful approach helped me gain clarity and my sessions with her have been incredibly helpful in navigating challenges and improving my mindset. I’m so grateful for the positive changes I’ve experienced with Saerlaith’s guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone.

I came to coaching later in life and was fortunate to meet Saerlaith. In my sixties, I was facing aging, health concerns, loss, and regrets. Saerlaith created a safe, positive space to explore my life and concerns. At our first session, I gave her a wide brief, which she took on with calm confidence. She helped me see my central issues more clearly and break them down. Her support and gentle challenges guided me to find my own answers.
The experience was truly valuable during a difficult period. I confidently recommend Saerlaith to any prospective client.
