Hi, I’m Natalie!

All my life I have found myself in positions of learning the body physically, emotionally and spiritually.

I knew from a very early age that I was a little bit “different.” I’ve always had a creative imagination was incredibly drawn to nature. There was a little girl I often played with, named Crystal, but the catch was… nobody could see her, except for me! I was also prone to wildly vivid dreams, and had a deep understanding of spirit and miracles after being involved in a terrible car accident on the highway at six years old. I knew deeply that two worlds coexisted around me, but being only a young girl, could not make sense of it all.

Around the age of three, I began attending dance classes and was immediately 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 mold itself. Being a competitive dancer in the latter half of my dancing career, we spent countless hours in the studio learning and perfecting body mechanics, meaning how to use, stretch and strengthen our muscles. Those skills meshed with creative expression often had our team placing high in our categories and obtaining many awards.

Being a teenager was tough. I experienced some deep grief after losing a close friend in a car accident when I was only 17. Navigating grief when your frontal lobe is hardly developed, is no easy feat. It’s almost impossible to comprehend at that age, but there I was fully submerged in an emotion I hadn’t experienced prior to. In addition, I was also learning the highs and lows in relationships, the sharp edges as friendships changed and evolved, as well as trying to figure out who it was I wanted to grow up and be. Life was messy at the time, and it hurled me into a lengthy period of a dark depression.

I spent the next four years finding my way back to the light through forms of movement and re-learning MY body from the inside out, after grief had taken so much from me. 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, body-building, spirituality 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, compete in a body-building competition, 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 on myself 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 healer I am today and helped strengthen my abilities to offer the same to others.
