YOUR BODY
You’ll have access to my diverse wellness toolkit, meaning you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your own physiology with a real focus on brain and nervous system function by exploring and applying various methodologies; such as... Pilates Movement Therapy, Tension, Stress and Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) and other somatic-based exercises to support a healthier and more resilient nervous system that restores wellness to function more efficiently.
YOUR HEART & SOUL
We often forget who we really are, so these mindfulness practises will help you discover the very core of the real you! I believe we are all spiritual beings inside a physical body, and once we connect with our innate wisdom we can be guided by what really feels good for our overall wellbeing, raising our awareness to watch our life transform beyond all expectations.
Natalie's Wellness Philosophy
When I started Back to Life Studio in 2017, four words deeply resonated with me and they were; Core, Strength, Wisdom, Bliss. These words encapsulate the journey back to life.
Core: Re-discovering who you are at your core.
Strength: To evolve greater than once or ever defined.
Wisdom: Connecting to that inner knowing and guidance of the heart.
Bliss: Finding joy by following the heart's wisdom.
Healing begins with compassion for oneself.
By setting achievable self-care goals and embracing gentle movement, we pave the path forward.

TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying...
"Today Natalie introduced me to TRE, Neuro flow and the finer details of each exercise and its overall effect. Simple innovative stretching exercises to help the body release stress and tension while learning to be more caring of our bodies and thoughtful of our pain threshold. These 7 exercises are easy to follow and allow the body to respond by activating a 'tremor'. The experience was amazing, and these exercises will hopefully increase my overall flexibility both mentally and physically. I'm looking forward to a better nights sleep and a lot more inner peace."
Pauline.P - Strathdale
"If you are looking for a practice to soothe the soul you’re at the right place. Natalie takes you on a journey , exploring the inner and outer realms . I have been practicing Pilates for awhile now and have noticed many changes over this time, some subtlety, such as a shift in perspective. A strengthening of my posture and all over toning. Thursday and Friday are my highlights of the week, thank you Natalie for bringing this happiness into my life. I highly recommend you give it a go if you want positive change".
Diane.S - Bendigo
I have done Natalie’s introduction to TRE trauma release exercises and one of her Neuro-flow classes. Both experiences have released and relieved tension and pain held in my body and left me feeling relaxed, calm, contemplative and really improved restorative sleep. I’ve always struggled in the past with the idea and practice of meditation as all I want to do is twitch. This seems like a great solution for me combining gentle exercise, shaking it out (tremoring), followed by a calm meditative phase before reawakening yourself and moving on with your day.
