Meet Natalie

I come from a family of conventional doctors and musicians. From a young age, I remember being taught to observe the symptoms and let the body heal itself before reaching for a pain killer or calling a doctor’s office. Despite practicing conventional medicine, my grandma’s “home pharmacy” was mostly based on herbal remedies. She used to say “a doctor is not a magician, he/she doesn’t know your body better than you do, listen to your body, it innately has everything in it to heal itself.” And then, she’d encourage us to alleviate symptoms through extra rest and natural, traditional remedies.

Growing up in a musical household, on the other hand, and learning to play an instrument, helped me realize that music can affect my thoughts, mood, and emotions. These, in turn have an influence on which music I’d like to play or listen to. What does music have to do with medicine though? Music is a comprehensive system of organized sound. Sound is a vibration and so are our thoughts. It is known among science, medicine and metaphysics that certain frequencies can repel disease, and certain frequencies can destroy disease. Herein lies the link between frequency (vibration) and health.

Already in my early school years, I was drawn to the life sciences. School lab experiments always fascinated me and I became passionate about learning how our bodies work. In college I proceeded with a major in life sciences and later graduated with a BSc in Life Sciences and a MSc in Immunology and Hematology from Bar-Ilan University in Israel.

The beginning of my career was wonderful: I happily delved deep into immunological research on blood cells and blood cell pathologies. I led research on the effect of using therapeutic ultrasound on the biological functions of human hematological cells in the resourceful laboratories of the Cancer Research Institute of Bar-Ilan University and Meir Hospital in Israel.
However, being a part of this scientific environment, I was witnessing that although science rapidly evolves and positively affects the healthcare system, the nature of human diseases rapidly changes as well, and unfortunately not for the better. Acute diseases become outnumbered by chronic diseases at an alarming rate, and often allopathic medicine cannot offer much help. It wasn’t until I visited a qualified nutritionist for mitigating my own health issues, that I decided to reroute the focus of my career to a more integrated and practical angle of health care – Nutritional Therapy.

I graduated from the London College of Traditional Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (LCTA) of the East London University with a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Nutrition and Health Coaching. Since then I successfully started to build my clinical experience practicing in all areas of Nutrition. After relocating to the USA, I complemented my nutritional training with the American Fitness Professional Association’s (AFPA) certification in Holistic Nutrition, while continuing practicing nutritional intervention in all of the life cycles, specializing in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME), Fibromyalgia, stress and stress related illnesses, sleep problems, digestive imbalances, and weight management.

While still residing in  London, I was offered a job as a nutritional consultant in a multi-disciplinary clinic of healthcare practitioners: psychologists, psychotherapists, counselors, life-coaches, and osteopaths. We helped clients with addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress-related digestive disorders. It was during this job that I first realized that solely addressing cellular processes through biochemistry would not result in the long-lasting health benefits desired. The accepted nutritional philosophy at the time was and still is a solid base for approaching health, but it lacks the connection between mind and body. Thus, I continued my search for other complimentary modalities, both ancient and contemporary.

During this journey, I began educating myself in the field of body-mind connection. I fell in love with the work of Dr. W. Dyers, Louise Hay, Gregg Braden, Joe Dispenza, Ester Hicks, and David R. Hamilton. Soon after, I discovered beautiful Donna Eden and her incredible manual of Energy Medicine, which led me to the field of Energy Psychology. Through studying Dawson Church’s and Nick Ortner’s EFT techniques, my perception of the powerful connection between body and mind when approaching well-being has changed: it opened me up to new horizons that I had yet to explore.

However, it was not until I came across a book that completely changed my life and helped me find that missing puzzle piece that I was longing for to fill the gap in addressing health . While I was helping clients to optimize their diet and lifestyle, I intuitively knew that it was not always a turning point in their health journey, as it was not always a turning point in my own health. After years of detoxification, dietary modifications, life changes and learning to manage stress, I knew it had to involve a combination of ways. This culminated in coming across a book  – “The Biology of Belief”, written  by Dr. Bruce Lipton, which lead me to the certification in Energy Psychology modality called PSYCH-K®, read about PSYCH-K®.

Only then I could clearly see that our biology is not only run by our genes, and certainly not solely by our biochemistry, but instead by the powerful, human mind. No matter how precisely I manage to address  nutritional deficiencies and/or excesses in a client’s biochemistry, if he/she keeps on practicing conflicting thoughts and beliefs, the body would reflect them.

Based on Dr. Lipton’s fascinating discoveries while working with stem cells, it is now believed that our mind (perceptions and beliefs) is controlled by the environment.

It was truly empowering to realize that each cell in the body has its own function and purpose. We all begin from a single cell that divides over and over again, forming new tissues and organs and a unique organism. There are no two people alike. But how does it all happen?

Albert Einstein stated almost 100 years ago, that “what we have called matter is energy, whose vibrations has been lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.” So, if everything is energy, how does this energy come together to form us? It cannot be purely random, it has to have a direction and knowledge. That lead me to the additional modality of energy medicine called Bio-energetics – a study of information and energy in living organisms.

When I first discovered the Bio-EnergetiX WellNES system (NES HEALTH) read about NES HEALTH here, I knew it was revolutionary and had the potential to change the way we can facilitate change in the physical body: through energy and information. Especially nowadays, we are all susceptible to information becoming distorted due to our own limited beliefs, environmental toxins and pathogens, stress, compromised diets, and electromagnetic fields. NES HEALTH opened up a whole new perspective on restoring my own health, the health of my loved ones, and the health of my clients. Seeing the NES HEALTH bioenergetic system as a natural extension to my practice approach, I became a certified  NES HEALTH bio-energetic practitioner, adding body-field assessments and corrections to my repertoire.

Expanding my “toolbox” helped me combine science and ancient wisdom in approaching well-being from conventional, complementary, and alternative medicine. I am extremely passionate about sharing my knowledge with others in assisting them on their health journeys.
