Radical Return fuses personal storytelling with professional insight to explore the transformative potential of psychedelics. A memoir-in-essays tracing Natalie's lived experience healing from sexual violence, ancestral trauma, medical trauma, and institutional betrayal.

A truth-teller who weaves love, grief, curiosity, and humor into her visceral story of becoming — a fierce, feminist joyride of a book. I raced through Radical Return with my heart in my throat.

About Natalie

I guide clients toward a fuller relationship with their inner lives, believing that lasting healing emerges through presence, embodiment, and the courage to listen to what has been held in silence. My trainings matter less to me as titles and more as containers that have shaped how I listen, think, and stay with complexity.

Providing individuals and couples with a setting that invites depth, creativity, and emotional honesty.
