About Natalie

I’m married and a mum of three boys. My eldest son is in his 20’s and my twins are mid-teens. Family life is busy, like any other family household, so I like to relax walking my cockapoo dog, Teddy, in the local countryside.

For nearly 3 decades I have proactively supported people to improve their health. From assessing an individual’s ability to carry out their occupation following an accident, illness, or injury to becoming a martial arts instructor.

Each role has enabled me to support individual health needs, mental health risk factors and any emotional or additional support requirements.

My primary focus over the last 10 years has been to coach and mentor children to be the best version of themselves. Using martial arts as my medium I have helped thousands of children feel better about who they are, grow in confidence, self-esteem, become physically and mentally stronger, more resilient, and able to respond, not react, to situations.

I have seen how insecurities, whether a lack of confidence or self-esteem, impacts hugely on a person’s personal and work life. Many of these insecurities follow on from childhood. It was therefore a natural progression for me to qualify as a Children’s Wellbeing Practitioner.

I believe that all children should have champions in their lives who can guide and help them develop life skills. Making children feel good during training sessions is great. However, giving children knowledge so they can regulate their own health and wellbeing is priceless!

Investing in a child's future today, will give them every chance of success tomorrow.
