Natalie is the founder of Smarana and a Somatic Pranayama Breathwork Facilitator and Reiki Master.

She holds a B.A. in Human Services and Social Justice from The George Washington University and has trained with David Elliott, Dr. Scott Lyons, Lisa Levine, Jillian Pransky, Katie Down, Jessica Caplan, Erika Spring, Zuna Yoga, and many other teachers who have shaped her multidisciplinary approach.

At a moment when wellness can drift from its roots, Natalie is dedicated to preserving its true intention: creating spaces of safety, integrity, and presence. As the curator of immersive wellness experiences and retreats, she weaves together Eastern and Western practices, somatic tools, embodiment, and breathwork to craft transformative experiences that nurture grounding, presence, and a sense of home.

Through her curated retreats and immersive wellness experiences, Natalie creates intentional spaces where the body can feel, reflect, and restore—allowing true healing to unfold.
