Hi, I’m Nathalie.
I lived the first 26 years of my life striving, achieving, and doing things really really well.
Everything in my life looked marvellous on paper, but I was constantly sick, tired, and resentful, and inside I felt numb and disconnected.
I was extremely good at masking it, but my body knew
that something felt off.
I am here to help you return to your light,
so that you can truly live and enjoy your life instead of going through the motions of it.
What brought me here
2019
Ocean Beach, San Diego. Summer 2019.
Something in me woke up.
I realized I wanted to feel ALIVE instead of just going through the motions of life.
I was in California as part of my teacher training to become a Spanish & English high school teacher.
When I went back home to Switzerland, I decided not to become a high school teacher.
I finished my Master’s in linguistics and was offered a PhD position in English linguistics at the University of Zurich.
After a lot of thinking, I turned it down.
2020
I was still working at the language school I had been teaching German and Spanish at since 2017.
During Covid, I started my own business as a language teacher & translator so I could work remotely when the world opened back up.
For the first time, I asked myself, “what do I actually want in life?”
I started reading Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie and Gabor Maté’s works, becoming curious about the mind-body connection and consciousness.
2021
I experienced the biggest breakdown of my life. Panic attacks. Full-body shutdown. This “dark night of the soul” led me to a spiritual awakening.
I started reading everything I could find on what had happened to my body and psyche. The nervous system. The mind-body connection. Trauma and the energetics of the human body.
2022
I read every book and listened to every podcast on trauma, the mind-body connection, the nervous system, and high sensitivity.
Got in touch with my spirituality, my sensitivity, energy, and somatic healing.
Went back and forth between Switzerland and the US, still working as a teacher and translator in my own business.
2023
Took big leaps!
Moved to San Diego permanently. Got married to the love of my life.
Deepened the study of energy, intuition, and the body-mind.
Found the work of Nicky Clinch and felt the depth and realness of her work. Signed up to study and train to become a BodyMind Maturation Coach.
2024 - 2025
Got certified in Reiki Level I and II (Energy Healing) with Reiki Master Cintia Tavares.
Trained full-time under Nicky Clinch to become a BodyMind Maturation Coach (Alchemy of Being certification).
Both exceptional women I feel so lucky to learn from.
Started a new business for coaching and healing.
Facilitated women’s circles, group Reiki healings, private coaching, guided meditations, offered Reiki at conventions, Tarot readings at Bachelorette parties, and more.

2026
It is the biggest honor to be working with human beings. Holding them in the depths of their emotions and helping them heal at the root level.
I’m continuously deepening the study of the mind-body connection, TCM energetics, attending supervision, and receiving coaching myself in order to ensure a space of utmost integrity.
In addition to my signature offers THE DEEP DIVE and THE RETURN, I offer Reiki energy healings and bespoke coaching and healing services for individuals, events, and companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
BodyMind Maturation by Dr. David Norris and Nicky Clinch is a holistic approach to healing and outgrowing our past.
This modality forms the basis of all of my spaceholding. It taught me how to listen to a human being’s field - what is unspoken, what the body is holding, and how trauma, emotional and energetic imbalances can show up as physical and mental dis-ease.
The intention of Maturation is to shed the layers and the weight of who we are not, so we can make space for our true, authentic self to come through.
Through this journey, we return to our essence and start to experience much more aliveness, peace, and ease.

Anyone who is deeply committed to their healing and growth.
It’s for people who recognize they’ve inherited trauma from their parents and don’t want to pass it all on to their kids.
It’s for people who feel like the same problems repeat in their life - no matter how many times they change jobs, partners, or friends.
It’s for people who are suffering. Who feel heavy and stuck and lost and no matter how many modalities they’ve tried, nothing seems to work.
It’s for people who have learned to people-please and want to find their way back to living authentically.
It’s for people who want more out of life. Who have a dream and feel that it’s time to move toward it.

It’s different because it goes beyond what most coaching frameworks work with.
Most coaching works within the box of who you think you are -
You have a problem and the focus is on “how can we fix or manage it?”
In this work, we ask -
Who even is the one with the problem?
Who is in this particular, very familiar dilemma?
It is very deep identity work and will blow up the box of who you think you are so you can live as who you truly are.
-
BodyMind Maturation is somatic work. “Soma” is the Greek word for body. In Maturation, as in somatic therapy, we work with the body to feel, process, and release trauma.
What makes BodyMind Maturation unique is that it is healing at the root level. It shines a light on who you had to be in order to survive as a child, and invites you to outgrow that way of being. So you can live and create your life from a lens that’s more mature, authentic, and empowered.
If appropriate, I also use Reiki in my BodyMind sessions to move the energy of frozen emotions that are starting to thaw.
