Hello, I'm Natalie.

When I started my international career at 18, I was curious, adventurous and happy to follow opportunities that felt like a resounding yes.

I travelled the world, worked through international crises and built experience across human rights policy, programmes and organisational change. I learned to navigate uncertainty, adapt to different environments and work with people through change. I loved it.

But somewhere along the way, I started doing what many of us do. Climbing the career ladder, following the expected next step and paying more attention to what I *should* do than what actually felt right.

On paper, things looked like success. Except they didn't always feel that way. A quiet career restlessness crept in. Nothing was dramatically wrong, but something no longer fitted. My confidence wobbled, and I felt increasingly disconnected from the person I knew myself to be.

I'd become good at adapting to what was expected of me, but less good at recognising what I needed.

So I started exploring. I trained as a coach and yoga teacher alongside my day job, followed by mindfulness  meditation and Rapid Tapping®. I became fascinated by how our thoughts, bodies and environments shape our experience of change.

I changed roles, experimented, questioned old assumptions and discovered that a new job doesn't automatically resolve everything.

I also rediscovered the value of curiosity, different perspectives and making space for the things that give me energy.

Today, I'm interested in how we stay human, moveable and ourselves in a world that keeps asking us to change. And how we create the conditions, in our own lives and within organisations, to do just that.

Hey!  I'm Natalie

My Credentials & Experience

I've spent more than 25 years working across international and UK public sector environments, from policy and programme delivery to organisational change.
Alongside that experience, I've been coaching since 2021 and teaching yoga, meditation and other mind body practices since 2019.

My training and qualifications include:

  • ILM Level 5 Coaching and Mentoring
  • APMG Change Management Practitioner
  • Team Coaching
  • Action Learning Facilitation
  • 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training
  • 100-hour Yin Yoga Training
  • Teaching Mindfulness Meditation
  • Rapid Tapping® Pro Level 2

It's an unusual combination, perhaps. But it's one that allows me to bring practical change experience together with different ways of thinking, reflecting and reconnecting.

I understand the organisational realities of change, and I'm equally interested in what it feels like to be the person experiencing it.

I believe that creating space changes what becomes possible.

Space to hear ourselves think. To question familiar patterns. To notice what gives us energy and what takes it away. To reconnect with ourselves before deciding what comes next.

My work combines practical change experience with coaching, facilitation, mindfulness, movement, Rapid Tapping® and reflective practices.

I'm also inspired by the cyclical nature of life. The understanding that things change, that different moments call for different kinds of energy and attention, and that renewal often begins by slowing down rather than pushing harder.

The aim isn't to become endlessly resilient to whatever life or work throws at us. It's to become more moveable.

More able to respond differently, loosen what has become rigid and find our way back to ourselves.

Whether I'm working with someone questioning their career, a team navigating uncertainty or an organisation creating space for its people, the intention is the same.

To create space for change. And help people feel more themselves within it.
