Jennifer
Occupational Therapist & Yoga Instructor
“A lot of my journey with Natalie over the last year has been about learning to see myself more clearly - my strengths, my limited beliefs, my beautiful qualities, and my 'bad habits'. Thank you for reminding me that we are not 'stuck' with any of it.”

Sara
Founder & Corporate Trainer
“Having a place to take my professional challenges and discover solutions put so much pep in my step in what was starting to feel like an arduous road! I can’t recommend this enough. The calibre of other women involved, the ‘we’re all in this together’ vibe, and Natalie’s guidance has been a catalyst to push through barriers to my best life. “

Cathy
Equity & Inclusion Advisor
“I immediately saw the impact of having Natalie as my coach from day 1. She has a way of helping you move forward with honesty, enthusiasm and compassion. I would say that it's easy to try to postpone this type of self-reflection but it's so necessary and needed NOW! I am so glad I didn't delay the work I'm doing with Natalie, though it was my first inclination. She is not afraid to tell you the truth about what's holding you back, and will work with you on how to address those barriers, with a goal of developing a new mindset that will eliminate the roadblock.”

Samantha Diamond
CEO & Cofounder, Bird&Be
“Natalie really worked with us to create a workshop that was tailored to our needs to reduce stress and increase focus for our specific team. She took into account our hesitations and developed a program that was comfortable for everyone involved. The team had a lovely afternoon out of the office and took away some important tools to use throughout the day that will undoubtedly help them to focus and be more mindful both at work and at home. It was a very functional team-building experience.”

Jen
Founder, Editor-in-Chief
“I have been working with Natalie since January, and this past quarter has been my most successful to date. She helped me notice a lot of unproductive patterns in my daily life. The idea of working with a professional/life coach was a bit of a hard concept for me to get at first, but after some encouragement from a trusted colleague, I signed up. The group that I've been working with is also a total mixed bag: from lawyers at big corporate companies, to freelancers, entrepreneurs and stay-at-home moms now figuring out how to transition back into the workforce. What I love is that there is a lot of openness/sharing/strategizing around the work/parent balance. We're all in the same boat.”
