Natalie’s path into holistic health began, as many good stories do, with a body that was screaming to be paid attention to and refused to be ignored.

After years of childhood antibiotics due to chronic ear infections, the Standard American diet, and lots of sugar and stress rolled into the fast-paced rhythm of school, work, and city life, her body was waiving red flags and had been — irregular bowel movements, skin conditions, anxiety, lumps, sinus infections, allergies, mood swings…the whole charming collection.

What once felt like a frustrating list of symptoms slowly revealed itself as something else:  A wake up call.  She worked with five different doctors that had the same protocol…five minutes of chatting, left with a prescription. In the words of the infamous poet, Charles Bukowski, Natalie realized, “Nobody can save you but yourself.”

Through her healing journey, Natalie discovered what she now deeply knows — the body is always communicating, always seeking balance, and far wiser than we give it credit for.  As she began restoring her health through real nourishment in all aspects of life, cleansing, rest, sunlight, authentic people, and reconnecting with the rhythms of nature, the light bulbs started going off.

A lot of them.

What began as a personal curiosity to quickly became a calling. She stepped away from corporate life and into the work of helping others understand just how incredible their bodies truly are.  She now knows with her heart of hearts, that life is only trying to bring us back to our true nature…because, we are nature.

Over the years, Natalie has witnessed the effects of modern life — technology overload, chronic stress, and the many false gods of the health world that promise healing while pulling people further from themselves.  And yet, time and time again, she has seen what happens when you work with and give the body the right environment to heal.   There are more miracles than she can count.

Health is flow, health is balance.  Healing is knowing thyself.

Through Move, Natalie’s calling is to walk alongside those who are ready to be gently humbled, nourished, and guided back into alignment with the best version of themselves through proper nourishment, gut health balance, and faith rooted in both nature and lived wisdom.

Free Time

Natalie loves to hike, observe nature, and steward a small piece of land, which is what she learned is the best way to understand health.  She loves to read Carl Jung, Thomas Moore, and Arnold Mindell, but the collection is vast.  In the words of Cicero, “If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.”
