Hello!
I am Nathalie, I am a spouse and mother of a life busting family. I am a Registered Nurse with 30+ years of experience, completed a Master’s Degree in Adult Education. While working in health care and Health education, I became increasingly intrigued by our collective need for simple, and down to earth human connections, this growing desire to encounter people where they are, away from the demands of organizations and structures grew in me. This brought me into providing Coaching and Counseling. Today, I provide primarily Counseling and Psychotherapy services.
I continue to be affirmed that the only approach that fosters healing lies in our ability to encounter people in their fullness, undivided; yet recognize that they are much more than the sum of their physical, psychological, spiritual, psycho-social elements. There is no better way, modality or therapy style that achieves healing away from the Holistic Approach.
Our human dimensions are interconnected and should never be separated. The holistic approach makes healing not a journey seeking a cure, but one of transformation, an experience of fulfillment and self realization. In practice that is to be in the presence of another who sees you holistically as ONE who, despite life’s imperfections and yours, desires to love and be loved.
We are all on this journey of healing.
“Empathy has no script. There is no right way to do it. It’s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communication that incredibly healing message of ‘you are not alone’ ”
Mission
My goal is to bridge the gap between your needs and the services that are offered out there.
I bring a holistic view to my counseling intervention and believe that everyone has a built-in strength to make the changes that they desire. Ultimately, I aim to guide individuals to live with a greater sense of purpose and intention, while authoring their lives in a manner that is authentic, accountable, and forth giving. I invite you to chose this service that will provide you with evidence informed and insightful education, infused with non-judgmental support, compassion, and empathy.
My background in nursing and health teaching combined with my personal experience as a mother, a Christian, a spouse and a woman, sprinkle a practical approach and common sense into my style. My interest in spirituality help me assist you in walking your adventure with depth, meaning making and authenticity.
Philosophy
“I believe that there is only ONE Truth.
If I choose to paint it, it would have the shape of a cross.
I believe that love, kindness, gratitude, belonging, accountability, courage, empathy, resilience, and the power of sharing our lives together can change the world one person at a time.
I believe that when we become rooted in the one truth, we can better understand and care for each other, ourselves and the world.
I believe that when we discover our purpose, forge a plan ahead, and grasp the deeper meaning of stepping outside of ourselves often times, our behaviors, emotions and thinking patterns, we can then start living the art of loving.
That is PEACE ”
