Testimonials from Our Clients
​

"I really enjoyed studying with you (Natalie). I particularly valued the live element - online courses are all very good and well but I really enjoyed how you had both a live and an online teaching element to your course. It absolutely enhances the learning experience. Watching the Zoom sessions again is also really good to help embed the learning and practice the postures. Basically, well done you for making this course so well! " -Anne- Marie Payne

How passionate Natalie is makes the difference with any other courses, trainings or certifications. You can feel her heart in every piece of what Natalie shares. Definitely a valuable content!!!"

"I've appreciated studying with you. What I particularly like is that you are working with an older population. A lot of trainings I have seen are for people (of all ages) in larger bodies which is great, but often, if younger, those people don't have the same kind of restrictions as the people we work with. So the teacher might immediately ask the students to raise the arms above the head, for example, whereas you build up to that really slowly, testing the edges of the students' range of motion, and I appreciate that. It can be difficult for people to trust a teacher with their bodies once their mobility is restricted, and I feel that your gentle way of working and layering movements can really help to build that trust."
