I'm Natanya, a health, wellness, and leadership coach.

My work brings together coaching, mindfulness, lived experience with migraine (a few sub-types!), nonprofit leadership, advocacy, and a deep belief that people deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported.

I support people navigating migraine, stress, uncertainty, burnout, transition, and leadership, with warmth, clarity, compassion, and practical hope.

The thread through all of my work is accompaniment.

Before Natanya Coaching became a business, this work was already a thread running through crisis support, community work, nonprofit leadership, mindfulness facilitation, migraine advocacy, coaching, and the many conversations where people needed a place to be met as a whole human being.

Whether I am supporting someone living with migraine, someone stretched thin by stress, or a leader carrying responsibility in meaningful work, the heart of the work is the same: helping people feel less alone, more understood, and more connected to their own agency.

I know what it is to live with uncertainty.

My work is shaped by lived experience of migraine. The searching, fear, grief, adaptation, and loneliness that can come with symptoms that ae not always visible or easily understood. It is also shaped by years in community, nonprofit, and values-led spaces, where people often carry care, responsibility, complexity, and the quiet exhaustion of trying to do meaningful work inside imperfect systems.

These experiences taught me something I now bring into all of my work: people do not need to be fixed in order to be supported. They need to be met with dignity, listened to with care, and supported to find what feels possible now.

How I work

Warmth, honesty, and practical hope.

Agency without pressure
Agency does not mean doing everything alone. It means reconnecting with choice, voice, boundaries, values, capacity, and self-trust.

Whole-person support
I support the person living with the issue, not just the issue itself. Health, stress, work, identity, relationships, values, and daily life are connected.

Gentleness with backbone
This work is compassionate, but not vague. We make space for what is true, then look for what may be possible.

Alongside, not above
I do not position myself as the expert on your life. My role is to walk beside you, ask useful questions, offer tools and perspective, and support you to hear yourself more clearly.

Coaching with me is a collaborative conversation. You bring your experience, your questions, and what matters most to you. I bring careful listening, thoughtful questions, practical tools, and a steady space in which to pause and explore.

We may begin with one concern, but the coaching is not confined to a category or predetermined process. It follows your lead and makes room for the whole person: your health, work, relationships, values, responsibilities, and the realities of your life.

My role is not to tell you what to do or ask you to hand over your self-trust. It is to help you hear yourself more clearly, notice what may be getting in the way, and find choices and next steps that feel genuinely your own.

Depending on what is useful, our work may include reflection, perspective-shifting, mindfulness, self-compassion, body awareness, practical planning, experiments between sessions, or simply having space to think aloud without being rushed.

Four small supporting points:

We begin where you are. You do not need a perfectly defined goal or a polished version of your story.

The conversation follows your lead. There is no rigid formula. We pay attention to what feels most relevant and useful as the work unfolds.

Practical and reflective. Coaching can create deeper awareness whilst also helping you make decisions, have conversations, set boundaries, or take manageable next steps.

Your agency remains central. You decide what fits, what does not, and what you want to do next.

Natanya Coaching does not ask you to hand over your self-trust. It helps you rebuild it.

Experience I bring to this work

My work draws on:

  • ICF accredited coaching training and practice

  • Mindfulness facilitation and mindfulness-based chronic pain and migraine support

  • Lived experience with migraine and chronic pain

  • General advocacy, migraine advocacy and community education

  • Nonprofit operations, governance, leadership, and community work

  • Crisis support, communication, emotional intelligence, and values-led-decision-making

Coaching is not therapy or medical care, and it does not replace diagnosis, treatment, or advice from your healthcare provider. Where relevant, my work sits alongside medical or mental health care as practical, whole-person support.

What I belive

You are not broken.

You are allowed to be human.

You do not have to navigate this alone.

Support should help you hear yourself more clearly.

Agency does not mean doing everything alone.

Gentleness can have backbone.

A next step can be small and still matter.

You are welcome here.

If you are navigating migraine, stress, uncertainty, transition, or meaningful work, you do not need to have it all worked out before reaching out. A relaxed conversation is simply a chance to talk through where you are, what you are carrying, what kind of support you are looking for, and whether this work feels like the right fit.
