About Natalie
One of my passions is to help people to move forwards in the direction of their dreams.
Another passion is to develop my creativity through visual art.
The community I have lived in for the past 20 years is the expatriate community .
Combining these aspects of my life, my personal experience and my present training as a life coach (International Coach Accademy) and art therapist (Profac-France) , I am building my career in helping globally mobile famillies to address the challenges of their lifes in a creative and rewarding way.
I believe that our inner creativity is the driving force toward our accomplishment .
As a coach I do not deliver answers but I ask powerful questions and invite new perspectives.
As an expatriate and an accompanying wife for the past 20 years, I have lived with my husband and 4 children in 7 different countries.
I was trained as a nurse but my passion has been flowering as an artist .
A little more...
Art has revealed itself to me as a way to my inner self and creativity has guided me through life.
As an accompanying wife I re-created my life and myself many times!
Through a mosaic career , culture and social environment, I had the opportunity to live through a diversity of life experiences and jobs. From creating a support craft project in a leprosy hospital in Bihar (India), setting up a health education programme in the Archipellagos dos Bijgagos (Guinea Bissau), creating a school in a village in Zambia, managing the drought relief programme in a Zambian district in 1992, Co-coordinating an art gallery in Lusaka (Zambia), running school canteens, running a free range chicken farm in Zambia, and creating an art school, and ... last but not least, being a full time wife and mother....!!!
As an "art process" , I decided to use all of these facets of my life into an art work that is my career and my life now.
Positive and negative experiences have led me to the art therapy and life coaching career. Expressing my values of caring for people, my art skills and my creativity together has led me to put these skills at the service of the comunity I belong to:the globally mobile families.
