“If this is where I am when I’m 20, I’m terrified of where I’m going to be when I’m 40...”
Raised on an organic biodynamic farm, trained in Polarity Therapy, alternative medicine, Neuro feedback and Transformational Leadership she brings a wealth of knowledge and life experience to her audiences and clients. She believes our health lies in our soil and advocates for eating a plant-rich diet full of real food from the earth. Naked. Unprocessed.
Natalie shares her story of recovering from a traumatic brain injury that brought her to her knees. In her healing journey, she realizes that recovery is not about merely fixing a bone or a broken system. It’s about the compassion you have for yourself and embracing who we are. We need to be the change we want to see in the world but we also can’t beat ourselves up in the process. Natalie also shares her hope for Globalized Regeneration for the earth–which starts with healing the soil. While helping herself and others heal from their brain injuries, Natalie became aware that if we don’t collectively heal the planet, there will be no brains to help! This prompted Natalie to launch and be the editor of Heart and Soil Magazine to teach others how to care for the land, repair the soil, and heal the planet.
