About Me
Two things shape my work: many years of holding space for others, and my own path, which has taught me that thoughts come and go, but the body remembers.
My path
Yoga and meditation have been my anchor for more than twenty years. While I was studying at Copenhagen Business School, I lived in an ashram. Later I moved to Malaysia, where my sister and I built a company together. I gave it everything I had, until there was nothing left to give.
I burned out. And then I was diagnosed with melanoma cancer.
That was my wake-up call. My body was telling me to stop in a way I couldn't ignore, and I had to ask myself how I really wanted to live.
The answer took me to India and Bali, back to the roots of yoga. In 2016 I became pregnant with my daughter, and I walked away from start-up life. I chose what had held me up all along: practice, the body and presence. I trained as a yoga teacher, a doula, then as a sound therapist, and later as a trauma therapist. Along the way I have lived in Canada, the US and Costa Rica, and studied with the Shipibo people in Peru.
Since 2015 I have held space for people one-to-one, in groups, in workshops and on retreats. More than a thousand of them by now. They have taught me that the body moves at its own pace, and that change can't be forced.
My approach
From trying to make sense of yourself in your mind to feeling what is actually going on inside your body.
Most of us might have an understanding of why we react the way we do. And yet we keep doing it.
So I start somewhere else. What are you feeling? What is happening in your body? What does this situation do to you?
My approach is trauma-informed. I work with the nervous system and with parts work: the different parts of us that react in different ways, often for good reasons. Breathwork and stillness are part of it. When we listen to the body, we can reach an understanding that thinking alone can't get to.
It isn't my job to tell you who you are. My job is to offer a safe space where you can explore that for yourself, at your own pace.
I don't believe there is anything wrong with you, or that you need fixing. Your nervous system has responded the way it had to, given what you have lived through. What is in you doesn't need to be repaired. It needs to be discovered, felt and given room, just as it is. I believe that, at our core, we are already whole, even when it doesn't feel that way.

Testimonials
"I experienced an incredibly calm and safe atmosphere, where I immediately felt welcome. Natalie is very attentive, empathetic, and pleasant to be in the room with. She guides calmly and lovingly, so you feel completely safe in her company. After the session, I felt a lightness in my body and released things I didn’t even know I was carrying. It was a truly wonderful and enriching experience, which I can warmly recommend to anyone who wants to tune in and discover new sides of themselves"
Camilla
"With Natalie I have felt safe from the very beginning, even with the deep, old and dark. Her loving persistence and presence has really helped me find home to myself and my heart and feel more secure in everyday life. All after just one session. The warmest recommendations from here."
Simon
"During my session with Natalie I experienced a deep and nurturing relaxation and emotional release. Natalie works very intuitively and was great at creating a space where I felt safe and calm, to go on a journey inwards. After the session I felt more centered and calm, and had discovered new things about my habitual breathing patterns, and how these are connected to my body and psyche."
Jakob
"I’ve had the privilege of working with Natalie in both private sessions and at several of her retreats. She has a unique gift for creating a safe, supportive space where I could explore challenging emotions without fear or judgment. With her gentle guidance and effective techniques, I was able to release tension and gain meaningful insight into myself.
Each time I leave a session or retreat, I feel lighter, calmer, and more centered, carrying tools I can continue to use in everyday life. I highly recommend Natalie to anyone seeking healing, renewal, and a deeper connection with themselves."

Offerings
Trauma Therapy
I offer one-on-one and couples trauma therapy in Copenhagen and online, in English and Danish.
If you feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected, your nervous system holds the key to healing. You might be experiencing anxiety, stress or burnout, emotional numbness, difficulty regulating emotions, self-sabotage or physical tension.
Each session begins with a short dialogue. Then I guide you into a relaxed state, where we work with the body, the nervous system and parts work. It is not about fixing, but about witnessing and giving the body space to release what it has held.
Many clients describe feeling calmer, lighter and more at home in themselves. Some feel a shift after one session, while lasting change usually grows over time.
2 hours: 1,800 DKK · 6 hours: 5,800 DKK (couples 7,500 DKK)
