MEET NAT

Hey there! My name is Natalie and I’m a certified Holistic Health Coach! To me, this means a lot of different things, but I’ll start off with how I got here. Throughout my life, I’ve struggled with anxiety, disordered eating, digestive issues, and really, just being on a journey of finding ~balance… in all aspects of life. I’m one of those people that has so many interests and passions that I’ve always been confused on how anyone finds a singular path forward and where to invest their energy. It’s funny because people have always told me that I’m “well-rounded,” but to me, it felt like I was decent at a lot of things and my creativity and drive was so widespread that I had no idea what I was “supposed to be doing.” 

As silly as it sounds, my internal turmoil over whether I wanted to be an opera singer and classical pianist, a young professional in the tech world, a chef and baker, someone in the fashion industry, a farmer, or even at one point, a Soulcycle instructor, all led me to manifest this stress in my body, causing some crazy health issues. To control this stress, I developed IBS, gut issues, disordered eating, and a whole lot of restrictive habits. 

But what’s so beautiful about this story is that even though it took time to work through those issues, I ended up finding the current journey that I’m on, which is the mindset of “everything in moderation” (which I learned from my mother, who learned it from her father). This very much aligns with a holistic way of looking at life. Even though my focus is on health, wellbeing, food, and nutrition, this saying also cured me of my dissatisfaction with being so-called, “well-rounded.” I can have all the passions and interests I want, and that is what makes me…me!

Being a Holistic Health Coach has several meanings to me. It means I want to provide you with the tools to feel your best inside and out through nutrients and healthy habits, but I also want to help you achieve your many goals, fulfill your many interests and passions, and feel good along the way! Your health is your wealth and nourishing yourself in all aspects of life will give you the best version of you!

I’m so looking forward to getting to know you too! :) 

I received an education from the University of California, Berkeley and was certified and trained as a health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
