My passion is to help women who have challenges with their weight and body issues along with life and career goals. I’m a recovering alcoholic and an ovarian cancer survivor – so I’ve been faced with a few challenges during my life. As a result of the Training received from the Institute I am using new tools to love what is. I’d love to help you, too!

Hey there, I’m Natalie, and for over two decades, I’ve been guiding others toward living their best lives. In my teenage years, I grappled with weight challenges that sparked a journey to heal and, in turn, ignited my passion for empowering others. I’m all about a kind and inspiring approach to help individuals conquer health goals.

Those I’ve coached would say I’m:

Encouraging: I thrive on nudging others towards their health goals, knowing a bit of encouragement can unleash hidden potential.

I had always been someone to get sick often, which knowing what I know now is not surprising, but finally reached my illness breaking point in spring 2016 when getting out of bed each day felt a feat akin to climbing Everest. Chronic inflammation, low grade fever, indigestion…I had it all. I also had enough of the life of extreme stress, emotional eating, endless indulgence of my sugar addiction, and quickly realized if I didn’t change something soon, being the always-sick person would become my status quo.

So, I threw myself into the world of food as medicine. I became certified in Food Therapy through the Natural Gourmet Institute, began my Masters of Science in Nutrition and Integrative Health at Maryland University of Integrative Health, and enrolled in an Eating Psychology Coaching Program at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating so that I could understand the mentality connection–truly merging mind-body-nutrition.

After years of self-experimentation and learning from the most incredible teachers and mentors, I am ready to share my knowledge and help others find their way to a life filled with energy, zest, and a loving, peaceful relationship with their bodies.

Being a nurse practitioner with over 30 years in the medicine, fitness/training, and legal arenas, I’ve been privileged to be a part of the healing of veterans and active duty soldiers as well as patients in primary care, pain management, and rheumatology. Oftentimes, people seek help from multiple providers but are left without good solutions and needless, continued suffering. Through my own lifelong eating challenges, efforting around healthy aging, and maintaining a competitive edge in mind, body, and soul, I discovered new healing methods. Using sustainable, results-oriented approaches, you can now rise above your years of struggle with eating challenges, disordered body image, sensitivities, and other common symptoms through implementing dynamic eating psychology concepts, mind-body nutrition, and positive psychology principles, tailored for you. I look forward to being your partner on your empowered path for establishing a better relationship with eating, caring for your body, and reaching your wellness goals.

I am fully recovered from over 24 years of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, chronic dieting, exercise addiction, and hypothalamic amenorrhea. It is my goal to provide gentle, research-backed support for individuals suffering, and help each fully recover to become their most authentic, healthiest, and happiest selves.

I understand suffering with food in a very personal way, and the control, fear, and shame it can bring. But I also believe fully in the profound healing capability of nutrition to nourish both our bodies and our souls, setting us free and giving us true life again.

Recently trained Food Psychology Coach looking to help people kick more ass in life.
