Hi! I'm Natalie, a meditation teacher and life coach.

From the age of 14 due to a life events and related to it stress I started experiencing sleep and other problems. Since then, I have been searching for the techniques to help myself find inner power to deal with everything that life’s giving. I became interested in psychology and had chosen to become a psychologist.

I have graduated with honors from Kazan State University, Russia. From 2008 till 2011 I have been a recipient of a scholarship from Oxford University. Later I became a PhD student in developmental psychology. I was doing well academically but then it happened: I hit the existential crisis. My life and everything that I was doing lost meaning and something must have been changed. I realized that my mission was not in academical psychology but in practical psychology. From 2014 I have been studying mental health counseling in a master program at Tennessee Tech University, USA. Time and again I found myself struggling and it became clear that being a therapist was not for me.

Then I took a long break to heal myself and find the direction. I started practicing mindful walking, positive affirmations, doing yoga. Since 2021 I have been a meditation teacher on the Insight Timer app. I finally stopped feeling guilty or like a victim for all what happened in the past. I let go of fears and worries for the uncertain future. I felt that the power, the moment of change was in *here and now*. I started a new life and, more important, new me.

It took a long zigzagging journey from the age of 14 to my almost 40s to collect the most powerful healing techniques that can really change you and your life for the better.

I am inviting you to the adventure into your own beautiful and fascinating inner world where you keep all the answers and a great power to cope with everything in your life!

Are you ready to do something very pleasant which in return will never harm you or make you addicted?

Then book a lesson and I cannot wait to see you!

 

Love, Natalie
