Natalia - Queer Counsellor

I integrate modalities such as somatic education, yoga therapy, and mindfulness for trauma healing

I help my clients work through any unprocessed emotional trauma still trapped in the body, free up the energy bound up in protective coping mechanisms to experience the freedom from emotional and mental suffering, anxiety and depression.

The research unequivocally shows that being embedded in a community exerts a protective effect on your physical and mental health. It is especially true for people who identify as part of one or more marginalised groups - being a person of colour, q***r, genderq***r, and other minority identities.

Finding your support networks can be difficult in regional Queensland. This is why events like The Sunshine Coast Sunshine Coast Q***r Ball, where your q***rness and uniqueness is celebrated, are important to the LGBTQIA+ community.

The Early Bird tickets will not last long. If you want to connect to your community, come to the Ball 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

LIMITED EARLY BIRD TIX AVAILABLE! Get yours now via Humanitix (link in bio) We can’t wait!!! ***rball ***revents

The Yogi Nutritionist

Welcome to my page! This is a space where I help women experiencing autoimmunity and more specifically suffering from the symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis, to harness the innate ability of their supremely intelligent mind-body complex to repair the damage and heal itself.

Using what I have learned about wellness, healing, and consciousness on my own journey back to health I will walk you through the maize that is nutritional medicine and diet modification for reducing inflammation, mindset and mindfulness framework as a tool for shifting your phychoneuroimmonological network to bring mind-body complex back to balance.

Why do I have the authority to help? I hear you are asking... I was diagnosed with RA and SLE in 2011 and became practically house-bound within a few years. I initially accepted the conventional medicine’s view of my conditions as “incurable” and sought to suppress my symptoms with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant medication. After a few years despite being treated I was losing function and ability to move and therefore work or lead a normal life. On top of this a whole host of mysterious symptoms cropped up as a result of being medicated. I was being referred from one specialist to the next for over a year before I realised that this could go on forever and I may not get any answers. It finally dawned.... doctors do not know everything, the drugs don’t always work, I know my body best and to get better I have to take 100% of responsibility for my own wellbeing.

With yoga therapy, Ayurvedic and Nutritional medicine, aromatherapy, NLP, mindfulness and meditation practice and some unpleasant excavation of past emotional traumas and suppressed emotions I explored every possibility that could take me closer to a healthy balance. I have experimented, made mistakes, regressed in my progression, made unbelievable leaps, cried with pain and happiness and I am still on the path today! The twisting, barely perceptible path eventually became more defined and easier to tread as I found confidence in my ability to know, at the gut level, what supported my journey and what hindered it.

My outcome and those of other women, who managed to reduce their autoimmunity and inflammation, show that the dis-ease manifests as a result of many factors. It is a by-product of modern lifestyle, poor nutrition, lack of awareness and connection with ourselves and the natural rhythms around us, lack of nourishing movement, judging ourselves and others too harshly, lack of restorative sleep and time to simply be without expectations to achieve.

I am convinced beyond all doubt that the recovery comes a result of just as as many factors and changes as caused the dis-ease in the first place, and address all of the mind-body complex as a whole as well as the environment - physical, mental and emotional space. Wellness is as much a result of self-acceptance and self-love as it is of impeccable nutritional profile.

Our genes are only responsible for 10% of the expression of the condition according to the latest research (bar a few rare conditions that are a direct result of chromosomal abnormality). My sister did not end up getting any autoimmune disease, no many others who have a familial history of various conditions. Isn’t the best news you’ve heard today? This means that we can change our internal and external environment, thoughts and habits today to enjoy better health tomorrow and beyond. This is the power of epigenetics!

Having trained, experimented and practiced in the fields of both paradigms - holistic and reductionist, I value and utilise both approaches and draw from many different modalities to create a coherent model of health coaching that is based both on the evidence-based science as well as steeped in the time-tested and honoured healing traditions that address the whole of a person. With your unique genetic make up, personal life circumstances and tendencies at the centre of this model, all the moving parts will be aligned to your specific needs. The focus is on creating rituals, rhythms and cycles that are sustainable, self-perpetuating and nurturing as we craft a complete self-care system for your mind, body and life.
