Scope of Practice
With over 15 years of experience as a movement and embodiment educator, peer counselor, group facilitator, program manager for profit and non-profit organizations, and my own journey of trauma recovery, it’s an honor to support you in deepening your embodied capacity, sensitivity, and the somatic and relational fluency to meet life with greater love, possibility, and connection.
*I am not a therapist, and this work is not a substitute for mental health treatment. Instead, I offer an attuned, collaborative, safe, and carefully informed container for the cultivation of your own inner wisdom and agency.

“[Natasha has] taught me about myself in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. She is an old soul who truly SEES me each time I come to class, and meets me wherever I am. She is a gift and I’m incredibly grateful that my path has crossed hers in this life.”
— Katie K.
“The individual focus and care made my time with Natasha the best investment ever. She is a true pro, excellent practitioner, and loving soul. I cant praise her enough. I always come away with renewed energy, calm, and centered focus.”

“Natashas vast knowledge and kind heart have extremely impressed me. Yoga with Natasha is transformative for my body and my spirit. It has helped me sleep better, kept my moods more centered, and motivated me to be more active.
Natasha tailors each class to meet the needs of students. I shared a session once with my mom, who explained certain muscle issues she has had for decades. After our yoga practice, my mom mentioned to me that she felt more relief from following Natashas guidance than she ever had from physical therapy.
Natasha is truly a special and talented instructor. I recommend her to everyone.”

how did I come to this work?
From early on in life, I found my connection to aliveness through the body ~ through movement, music, and modern dance. Over time, I learned to process my emotions through therapeutic and ritualized movement, and to guide others into deep experiences of the Self through the body: the deep core intelligence that lives within and beyond our very physiology.
When severe trauma, heartbreak, and physical injury tore through my life in my early 30’s , I found myself forced to find a path through the wreckage of my life in a way that made sense to my body and mind. My recovery journey led me to seek a less-traditional and more communal, ancestral, nature based, and feminine-led healing path.
Through sisterhood, community, feminine and herbal wisdom lineages, somatic and polyvagal understanding, and a re-rooting into a cyclical relationship with life, I slowly learned to sing my heart and body back together. I made the necessary trips to the Underworld, and recovery became a grounded, devotional, day-by-day crucible: slowly rebuilding my connection to my own original beauty, dignity, agency, and belonging.
Here’s what I want you to know, I won’t try to save or fix you, because you don’t need saving or fixing. You do need to rediscover the wholeness and beauty that you have always been.
Trauma recovery can be lonely, disorienting, humbling work, but it’s made lighter with the right tools, with love and compassion as our guideposts, and with seasoned company on our side.
