About Natalie
I want to start by saying that I have put myself in a glass house to show my clients that effective communication is vital in building solid relationships. With that said, I want to tell you about who I am.
​
My life is not unlike many of you. I grew up in a large Irish family in Ontario, Canada. I'm the youngest of eight in a mixed family. Both of my parents worked full time and we were considered middle class 'most' years.
​
I became a mother and wife at the age of 19. Unprepared and young, my first marriage would last three years. From this point, I made the decision that my life would need a solid direction. I attended university and received a Degree in Philosophy. This is also where I met my wonderful husband and life partner.
With my degree and my thoughts leaning towards criminal justice, I began working for a non profit agency in a halfway house with adult offenders impacted by crime. Within the same agency, I also worked with the homeless and at risk youth providing them with 'an ear' to listen, a shoulder to cry on and positive feedback as well as trying to meet their daily needs. Soon, I would be presented with an opportunity to instruct an anger management program to court appointed participants. Through my opportunities working with a diverse group of people, it became apparent to me that people were struggling hard in life and relationships. It was at this point I knew where my passion for humanity was taking me.
​
Since leaving my career in criminal justice and focusing on what really mattered to me, I have written a book - "Crazy on the Inside". It is the story of my journey through opening my marriage and spending a week a month in New York City. This was where I was able to see, through the people I met, the disconnection in many marriages. It was incredibly enlightening and I wanted to make a difference for people whose marriage had reached a point of "where do we go from here?"
​
I am now a Certified Relationship Coach. I understand how difficult life can be to navigate relationships. These relationships can be intimate partner, professional or simply family and friends. Effective communication is paramount in a relationship. Without it, we will continue to struggle.
