Bridging the gap between spirituality and other movement forms, Natalie’s methodology arises from an early transformational experience in yoga. A yoga student of over 13 years and counting, Natalie works diligently to ensure that each students’ experience allows space for the entirety of their being to be present. Working with the body as the gateway for greater peace of mind, and more balanced emotional health, she has helped clients and students manage not only physical injuries, but also emotional pain and unregulated nervous system states, by emphasizing the importance of breath in connecting to the whole self. She believes wholeheartedly, and through her own personal experience, that it is only when the mind, body, and soul are united that we can live our most authentic lives. A healthy mind feeds a healthy body, and vice versa. The more we consistently and systematically create order in the body and mind, the more harmony and resiliency we feel in our soul, and in all aspects of our lives.

Natalie’s clientele ranges from per-professional Ballet dancers, to burnt out CEOs, to post-op clients, to women who have never worked out, cancer patients, and more. The range of her clientele has given her the ability to adapt to the unique needs of the client, and tailor a truly customized program.

She holds over 600 hours in yoga training (RYT-600), is a Comprehensively Certified Classical Pilates Instructor, holds certification in PNF, CPR, and has worked in non-traditional rehabilitation facilities helping people gain feeling and function in their bodies again. She has studied with and is a scholarship recipient of the University of Texas at Austin Dance, has taught anatomy and physiology to pre-med students of Texas A&M University, and has worked with a variety of somatic artists for East Austin Studio Tour, Sunny Shen Dance Co., Austin Community College, and others.
