Natalie is an intuitive healer, writer, and meditation & movement practitioner. She primarily works with women who are seeking a straight-forward approach to healing, particularly when it comes to navigating major transitions like perimenopause & menopause, relationship breakdowns, and ancestral trauma.
Her unique approach combines her lifelong love and study of movement, nutrition, mysticism, astrology, Gene Keys & Human Design, ancestral patterning and attachment theory.
As a Gemini sun and Cancer rising with the Sun in her 12th house and Chiron in her 11th, Natalie is no stranger to pain, grief, loss, addictions and feeling like an outsider. She now feels blessed to be in a position to use her former struggles to be a guide and compassionate witness for those of others.
As well as offering Soul-based intuitive guidance, she has been professionally teaching various forms of movement & meditation for over 10 years. Trained in Hatha and Yin Yoga, iRest Yoga Nidra meditation, Mindful Self Compassion and most recently The Floss™ Method with Bonnie Crotzer, she’s endlessly fascinated with the body’s natural ability to heal itself and encourages everyone she meets to become their own authority when it comes to their health and wellbeing. Based in Chinese Medicine, her fascia-focused movement classes are a way to transform our deepest tissues from the inside-out, working to improve joint health, previous injuries, stubborn tension and even boost collagen and help with hormonal imbalances. Working with the fascia in a more intimate way has helped Natalie eliminate pain from various injuries and transform her hormonal health, making her passionate about sharing this unique practice with others.

WILLPOWER VS WILLINGNESS
The problem isn’t willpower alone, it’s how we view it. If we see willpower as something we have to summon, we’re making it this elusive and perhaps even finite resource that’s eventually going to run out when we realise we’re not superheroes, when we can’t do it all, be it all and see it all.
TRAUMA & THE SOUL: FEELING SAFE TO COME HOME
We can literally feel cut off from any sense of depth, compassion or love for ourselves or others, simply because it’s always been too scary for us to go to these places. Up until this point we’ve only known the shallows, pain, and perhaps everything that isn’t love.
WHY PRACTICE GENTLENESS?
It wasn’t until my nervous system forced me to surrender to burn-out that I began to open to the realisation that gentleness is each human being’s inherent and powerful nature.
