MY STORY
My name is Cornita Taylor, and I am the proud owner of Cornita Taylor Health & Wellbeing. I am also a mother to a wonderful teenage daughter, my world, my inspiration.
I have been a massage therapist for over 20 years, working across the UK and internationally. My journey began on cruise ships, where I worked my way up from Therapist to Senior Therapist, Assistant Manager,
and finally Manager over nine incredible years.
When I returned home, I joined Blue Arrow Recruitment while continuing my passion as a massage therapist at the Hyatt Hotel
In 2017, I made a bold decision. I took a leap of faith and started my own business. I had no savings, just belief, determination, and a vision.
And let me tell you, the journey has not been easy. There have been ups and downs, disappointments, and lessons that sometimes felt too hard to bear.
But every challenge has made me stronger, and more determined to succeed.
✨Sometimes you have to turn your pain into purpose to make sense of it all✨
In the last few years, I’ve written two books:
📖 Surviving Queen Anthology, with Andrea Maynard and eight extraordinary women
📖 I Love Myself First, published by Marcia M. Spence, both available on Amazon.
Along the way, I discovered I’m dyslexic, which explained a lot about how my mind works and helped me embrace my unique way of thinking.
In 2021, life threw me one of its toughest challenges. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. It was terrifying. It was painful.
But I did not give up, and today, I am proud to say I am three years in remission.
That same September, I lost two incredible women, my aunt Kathleen Wiggan, my rock, and my dear friend Michelle Hemmings, who kept me sane during lockdown.
It was a difficult month, a heavy month. But my sister Cassandra Wiggan, my backbone, encouraged me to channel my grief into something positive.
And that is how the Lymphoma Awareness Dinner & Dance was born in 2024, where I launched, I Love Myself First.
This year, in 2025, we expanded it with our first Award Ceremony, celebrating survivors, remembering loved ones, and honouring everyone affected by cancer.
I am also a radio presenter on Bluedot Radio, where I have spent over a year interviewing people from our community and sharing their stories.
I share all of this with you because sometimes, we forget who we truly are, beyond being a mum, sister, daughter, or friend. But we are so much more. We all have stories, strengths, and gifts to share.
So, let us embrace the positives, uplift each other, and work together, because together, we are powerful. 💚
