Meet Natalie
I came to healing the way most of us come to the things that matter — sideways, and a little by accident… I grew up in a family that embraced natural healing from the start so feel enormously blessed by that presence from the beginning..
I didn’t land earthside without my share of health struggles - and that led me on a quest for optimal health and the deeper life questions
As a teenager I was doing work experience at a naturopathic clinic. The smell of herbs. The quiet attention a practitioner gave to someone who was struggling. Something in me went: oh. This. And I never really looked away after that.
The years that followed were full of study — massage, aromatherapy, naturopathy, a health science degree, yoga, sound & astrology.. Each one weaving the threads…All of it circling the same question, the one I'm still sitting with: what do we need to really live a fulfilling & vital life..
I worked with women for over twenty years before I found Ayurveda. And when I did — when I received my first abhyanga and felt my nervous system do something I hadn't been able to make it do in years — I understood that I'd arrived somewhere I'd been heading all along.
I trained properly after that. Shri Kali Ashram. Dr. Vasant Lad. Years of sitting with the classical texts and learning to let them change me. Not collecting qualifications. Following something real. I”m grateful to many teachers & teachings along the way including Anandra George from Heart Of Sound & Sarah Tomlinson for her continuing support in my Astrology work.
Soma is where all of that lives now. A quiet room… deep insight & reminding you of the wisdom that lives within you already.
I'd love to welcome you in.
