You know what you're doing.
You know how to guide the room.

THE ULTIMATE SOUL LED BUSINESS TRAINING FOR ANYONE WHO IS READY TO LEAD RETREATS & FEEL FREE
Honestly, this couldn't have been a better retreat. The vibe was absolutely awesome. Natanya's just such a loving, caring, sweet person. I felt safe. I felt like my needs were met, and I just couldn't recommend this experience anymore. If you're hesitant to go on a retreat like that. I didn't know a single soul going, going except Natanya, and I couldn't have felt more comfortable. And it was such a gift to be able to be yourself, learn, grow, meditate, do yoga, and reflect on you, your life, and do it in a beautiful setting. I would give her retreat a 10 out of 10. It was unforgettable!
- Suzy Sapir, Content Creator, Chef + Entrepreneur
"I thank Natanya for enabling this experience, and for using her incredibly talented teaching skills to work on us. Not only was everything planned and coordinated exceedingly well, Natanya, in her experience and wisdom knew that with the “transformative” work we were doing, we would need rest days, and time to reflect. Our days were planned perfectly. Natanya leads and teaches with her heart, and her love radiates throughout the group. Natanya has a diverse background of training and shares so many key tools to support light leaders."
-Julie Silvia Entrepreneur
Choosing to go on this retreat with Natanya was the best gift I could give to myself. Before I came here, I was weighed down with stress. My cup was empty. Natanya has supported me throughout this entire trip, from the very beginning when I said I'd like to go, to the very end. Throughout this experience, we've had some amazing excursions. We have been introduced to different yoga practices, breathwork, the chakras, and mantras. And, I have been able to enjoy this experience with an amazing group of wonderful new friends. If you're on the fence about this retreat, do it!
- Amber Hundshamer, Entrepreneur
I was blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from Natanya's Feel Free to Lead Training and her beautiful light. Gained a great understanding of how to be an effective communicator and sharer of culture and practice. Feel Free gave me the confidence and tools I need to be a successful guide.
- Nikki Wagner, Consultant
I knew I wanted to become a facilitator for so much more than just teaching but I wasn’t sure what that looked like. I was in a part of my life where I was lacking confidence and purpose. As I started my training with Natanya, my eyes opened to the possibilities. I gained confidence in my voice and posture. I also started to feel aligned with my purpose. And I’m forever grateful that Natanya is the one taking me on this journey.
- Alicia Conlin, Executive Director
If you had told me that within a month I would feel stronger & more confident teaching, I would’ve most likely laughed in your face! Natanya has given me so much knowledge, inspiration & a completely better view on how to do what I do! I could not have asked for a better mentor!
- Abigail Neff, Yoga Instructor
