​

 Natalia was born in North Miami Beach. Growing up she was greatly influenced by stories, remedies and philosophies of her great-grandmother in Dagua, Colombia.  She was a medicine woman in her village and had great gifts as a healer and midwife.  She was ahead of her time and vibrantly lived up to 101 years old.  Natalia has always felt a strong connection with her and feels that they share a similar purpose in this life.

 

In her youth, Natalia was always drawn to animals, nature, herbs, and was a top violinist in her orchestra.  She started practicing Yoga in 6th grade at the studio down the road and learned at a young age the importance of the mind body connection. 

 

Her search and interest in health started young because she noticed she was having health issues that others her age did not experience.  At 15 years old Natalia experienced severe pain during her menstrual cycles that would continue into her adult life.  She was told it was normal and that she would need to rely on pharmaceutical intervention indefinitely if she does not grow out of it. Later on she was diagnosed with Endometriosis and Adenomyosis.

  

She felt hopeless, weak and alone  because she had also watched her mother experience a mystery autoimmune disease all her life, She too was told that there was nothing anyone can do. She felt no doctor or person seemed to understand what she was going through and realized a lot of other people suffer in silence with their health issues without support or progressive guidance. 

 

After realizing that the answers she needed were not in conventional medicine, Natalia devoted all her passion into holistic and alternative medicine. She studied Chinese medicine, functional medicine, herbology and many other healing arts and sciences. 

 

She gained a new perspective and now believes that the body is an ecosystem, not a machine - that we all have a primal intelligence that lies within us to express a more healthy and whole state. Her goal is to help bring people onto their healing path and empower them with the tools they need to strive towards their health goals.

 

She believes that we are all meant to live in a beautiful state and not in the flavors of suffering -  that we are all capable of healing the mind, body and spirit for they are interdependent on each other.
