The Team
Natalie Onacki
Founder, Executive Director, Therapist
Hey Y’all, my name is Natalie. I have a passion and mission for helping people along their journey and empowering them in their lives by giving them a safe place to heal, feel heard and understood. For many years I suffered with anxiety and depression; I felt lost and stuck. I was acting out and couldn’t break my negative patterns. I thought I was crazy, that it was just who I was. I have been told I am a ray of sunshine, but when the doctors prescribed me medication I became a zombie, I lost my zest. One day I walked into a yoga class, it felt good and I had nothing else to do at that time of day so I keep going back. I noticed it made me feel better, think differently, want to eat healthier, and party less. So I enrolled in a 200-hour certification, today I am an IAYT Therapist.
My courses helped me to view myself as a whole and recognize my patterns and question my decisions - this is when my true healing began. When I was able to understand my mental, emotional, and physical body I was able to look at my life at all angles and make changes.. I was not crazy. I was living as an effect of trauma. This healing journey that I experienced is what I want to provide for others. I have been characterized as having the ability to take the darkest of the darkest and bring it to light and joy.
I fully believe that we heal together, we heal in communities, we heal as a whole person, we heal with resources and we heal with programs that incorporate a full spectrum of healing.
I am an IAYT therapist, I have been in the field for 7 years now helping both men and women of all ages through trauma, I utilize many forms of holistic healing such as trauma-informed yoga, breathwork, Ayurveda, journaling, counseling, kundalini yoga and much more!
