End of Life Doula
My first experience with death happened at 14 years of age with the passing of my best friend. She was terminally ill, and we had great plans of going to nursing school together, to help other kids like her. While my path didn't end up taking me to nursing school, the desire to help and support those at the end of their life has still remained. Having watched many loved ones die and having lost my mom unexpectedly, I have witnessed and experienced the need of the end of life support beyond the care of medical staff.
We all know that we will not live forever, but when faced with the final stages of life, everything can become overwhelming for both the individual and their families. It is my desire to help bring clarity to the situation and allow you to decide how you would like to be cared for, and what you need to address in order to feel complete. I hold a safe and compassionate space and provide spiritual and emotional support as needed. It is important to me to educate and empower families on how to care for their loved ones in their final days and beyond so that you can transition with grace and ease. Together we will create a care plan, and detail your vision for vigil and final ceremony, to best support you through the end of life and beyond.
It would be my great honor to be of service to you during this time.

Yoga Instruction
Yoga is one of the best ways to nourish your whole self. Benefits of the practice include building strength, increasing flexibility, healing an injury, reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep, and deepening the connection between your mind, body, and spirit.
Private yoga instruction is an excellent way to start a new practice or deepen your current practice. The one-on-one attention allows for the class to be customized to your specific needs, regardless of experience or skill level. In addition to having the comfort of private attention, Natalie will teach the class in your home, for the ultimate convenience. Class styles include vinyasa (flow), yin yoga, restorative yoga, yoga nidra, and meditation.

Holistic Nutrition
Proper nutrition is the foundation for optimal health and wellness. As a holistic nutritionist I work with clients to empower them to take their health into their own hands. In doing so, clients can re-balance their body using whole foods and nutrition. Clients will gain an understanding between food and their emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health. I am here to help provide the tools, education, and support needed to make lasting changes, allowing you to feel great and live your best life yet.
- Nutritional Consultation- There is no one size fits all when it comes to nutrition and eating styles. We all have unique needs and respond to food differently. I work one-on-one with my clients to develop a plan which will address their concerns and needs. During our initial interview we will access where you are currently. We will discuss concerns you want help with, identify your needs, and set goals to work toward. From there you will receive follow up sessions and additional support.
- Meal Prep- The biggest obstacle staying on track with nutritional goals, that I hear from clients, is that they simply do not have time to prepare healthy meals. While healthy does not have to be difficult, we live in a world of convenience foods. Preparing healthy meals from scratch does take extra time. I help bridge this gap, preparing delicious plant based meals, while taking specific dietary needs into consideration. This option is customized to your needs, and can include meal planning, grocery shopping, food prep and full meals being cooked.
- Pantry Clean Out (2-3 hours)- A pantry clean out will give you a fresh start to working toward your nutritional goals. Together we will clean out your pantry and refrigerator, eliminating the junk and learning healthy alternatives. Having wholesome foods on hand is essential to making healthy choices throughout the week.
- Guided Grocery Store Visit (1-1.5 hours)- In today's grocery store and supermarkets, the number of food products can be quite overwhelming. To assist in navigating the store aisles, I meet clients at the store and teach them how to shop for healthy food, supporting their nutritional needs.
Life & Wellness Coaching
Life is made up of a series of transitions, some being smoother than others. Each transition offers us an opportunity stretch and grow. There are times, however, that we tend to feel "stuck" in the transition, and become unsure as to what the next step forward may be.
Coaching is a partnership where client and coach work together to maximize the client's full potential. As a coach my role is to assist and support each client in uncovering and clarifying what it is that they truly want. I provide the necessary accountability needed to take action and keep the momentum going while working towards the desired goal. Through the coaching engagement I help each client stay on track, keeping goals lasting and sustainable. Whether you are wanting to change your career, improve your health, or live a happier more fulfilling life, together we can reach your goal.
