Hello, I’m Natalie -
AND LIKE YOU, I AM MANY THINGS.
I am a Registered Nurse in the province of British Columbia, a board-certified nurse coach, a functional medicine nurse, a holistic cannabis nurse, a trauma survivor, a burnout survivor, a mom, an animal lover, and an outdoor adventure seeker.
I know what feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and out of balance is like. I know how perimenopause shifts everything! I have discovered the FREEDOM that comes with owning my story, loving my body, caring for myself, and living intentionally.
IT IS NOW MY LIFE’S WORK TO SUPPORT YOU ON THIS MIDLIFE JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY AND HEALING.
“When we make choices that are nourishing to ourselves, we are better able to care for our families and communities. ”

AS A HOLISTIC FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE NURSE COACH, I SEE YOU AS A WHOLE PERSON, NOT JUST A PROBLEM OR DIAGNOSIS TO BE FIXED.
I honor your unique story; I listen & I ask questions.
My job is to hold you in a safe, accountable, supportive space. I help YOU re-discover what your unique body needs to function at its healthiest state.
Together we explore multiple health domains (social, intellectual, emotional, mindfulness & spiritual, physical, and occupational) through detailed assessments.
Western/Conventional medicine is AMAZING for trauma and emergency situations BUT it is failing many people like you in the areas of disease prevention, stress management, over-prescribing medication, getting to the root cause of illness, managing chronic disease, and recommending appropriate diet and lifestyle changes. Often, women in perimenopause really notice the gap. It is not uncommon to be blown off by your doctor or told, “Nothing is wrong” or “You’re not sick.”
This is where functional medicine nurse coaching comes in… and this is where I can help you!
