Hi, I’m Natalie!
All my life I have found myself in positions of learning the body physically, emotionally and spiritually. I began attending dance classes around the age of three and descended on a life long journey into the most purposeful form of self expression I’ve ever known. I didn’t realize it then, but my passion for the mind-body connection had already begun to unfold.
Being a teenager was tough. I experienced some deep grief after losing a close friend in a car accident. In addition, I was learning the highs and lows in relationships, the sharp edges as friendships changed and evolved, as well as figuring out who it was I wanted to grow up and be. Nothing in my life seemed to make sense at the time, and it hurled me into some dark years of a deep depression. The only things keeping me afloat in those moments of my life were the dance studio, as well as, a new found love for weight lifting.
I spent the next four years finding my way back to the light through forms of movement, while learning MY body from the inside out. In the spring of 2015, I enrolled at Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy on a whim. I had no real plans to pursue massage therapy and more or less viewed it as “something else to try.” Within the first few weeks of classes, I had my lightbulb moment where my passions for dance, weight lifting, and how the body operates all came full circle.
Fast forward to today, I have been licensed in Connecticut as a massage therapist since 2017. In addition, I have completed my Reiki-Master training, studied two levels of mediumship and acquired my dance fitness instructor certification. I have also studied basic reflexology, tarot, essential oils, and committed my life’s work to learning the psychological and spiritual connections to the body.
In hindsight, I truly believe I was born into this lifetime to do some deep work and share my findings and wisdom to those in need. Although not always pretty, I believe my darkest moments are what have helped me help others find their own light; My experiences have helped me become the massage therapist I am today and helped strengthen my abilities to offer healing.
