Private Coaching
Hello my beautiful & courageous friends~
I am guessing you are here because you are dealing
with the frustration, trauma, and emotional
pain of living with a brain injury whether it be your own or that of someone you love. You are here because you are looking to turn the chaos and confusion into clarity and calm.
Whatever Your Reason For Being Here,
WELCOME!
I know how much a scrambled brain can scramble your life. I know you are trying to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, but can’t even find them.
I know how hard it is. I get it.
I acquired a traumatic brain injury sailing in a massive, surprise storm in the summer of 2010. It turned my whole life upside down. I went from a high functioning proudly independent person, from being completely dependent. I went from feeling in total control of my life, to having no control of anything; free-falling through life and watching all the pieces fall away from me. The losses can’t even begin to be counted. I am barely driving a car for the first time in 8 years.
I searched high and low for answers. The answers I got from my doctors ranged from “nothing was wrong with me”, and this was a “psychological issue”, to this was “one of the worst cases” they had ever seen, and I would “never get better”.
Luckily, I did not believe any of that for very long. Somewhere, lost deep inside my scrambled head, was still a belief in my body's natural ability to heal.
Because I had seen it countless times in my career helping hundreds of people re-wire their brains with hypnotherapy. I knew healing was possible. I just had no idea how -- especially when my brain didn’t work! Answers were not easy to come by.
In the time that has passed, I have found MANY modalities that continue to improve brain function, regardless of what my doctors said. This website is chock-full of helpful tips and information I discovered the hard way, and it is my gift to you, along with a giant dose of compassion for what you are going through.
Maybe now you are ready for more. Maybe you are ready to work with me one-on-one to see what else you can really achieve...
I invite you, let's do this together!

How Does Nathalie’s Coaching Work?
I work with a limited number of high-functioning clients on Skype or on the phone and address your needs at the moment. Some people prefer just one session to consult with ideas, others prefer an ongoing weekly supportive relationship. I am here for you and we will set it up however it works best for you.
When we work together, you not only get guidance and a compassionate ear; you get my wholehearted presence, my 25 years experience in the healing arts, and a lifetime of experience in conquering massive challenges.
