On every great journey there are times we lose our way or hit a roadblock that we feel unable to get around, over or under! It is in those moments that we all need someone to act as a mentor who can empower us to face these challenges, turn them into springboards and help us to grow to ever greater awareness. I count myself forever fortunate to have met someone as wise as Natasha.
When I first met Natasha, it was at work as a management coach for dealing with work challenges with coaching and open-ended questions. I instantly felt drawn to Natasha and she shone to me, an aura of wisdom, kindness, and calm. During that session I knew I was in the presence of someone who was special but I didn’t realise just to what an extent their impact would be on my life. We had a couple more sessions and I felt empowered and wiser from Natasha’s teaching, guidance, and curiosity.
The next time I met Natasha was randomly on the train, we bumped into each other and sat talking intensely for the entire journey. Again, I sensed this same wisdom, kindness and calm I had experienced before. I hoped that we would get the opportunity to work together again. I would see Natasha around the office and at work events, I was always very excited to see her. Then the pandemic hit, and I suffered with very poor mental health, I was having psychotherapy and life was very chaotic, intense, and dire. My leadership at work suggested I have some private sessions with Natasha. These sessions saved and changed my life. Natasha created the space, stillness and calm I needed to access a deep wisdom and knowing I had lost since childhood. Natasha kindly and softly guided me through one of the most difficult times of my life, a transformational period that saved me from suicide and led me to knowing I have all the wisdom I need to face any challenge. There were many almost magical or miraculous moments, but not only did Natasha help me find balance, deal with historical trauma and how to manage suicidal ideation, Natasha also helped me realise that I was not on my life’s path of true purpose, and because of her guidance I am now healthier, more balanced, calmer, wiser, more grateful, and more content, personally and professionally. Natasha held me through that journey from the darkness, equipped me with new wisdom and skills to be able to face these challenges in the future, which I do and have had to and know I will again.
Natasha has an energy about her that makes you feel at ease, a way of calming, an intuitive knowing, and a spirit that is delicately powerful. Natasha can take ancient wisdom and apply it to our modern-day settings and needs to make things better in a professional but personally human way that it just so rare and precious but so very vital in these times.
A healer, a sage, and a wonderful human being, who welcomes a good cry. Anyone who is fortunate enough to work with Natasha in any capacity has a fantastic opportunity to understand themselves better and to learn and grow. DAN
