Welcome friend! I'm Natali, a Transformation Coach, Public Speaker, Creative and Founder of the Flow Projects.
My life’s journey has led me on a path of exploration, leaving behind my previous life ‘achievements’. After graduating from university in my country of birth, South Africa, I headed to London, working my way up from a very humble admin job to qualifying as a well-salaried chartered accountant and forging a career for myself in a prestigious blue chip corporation. Despite finally creating a comfortable life for myself, I had the job, the relationship, the wardrobe, I would wake up morning after morning, feeling restless and dissatisfied, dreading my day ahead. Is this all there is to life I would ask myself? I initially tried changing departments within my company but the door remained shut, no matter what I did…so I started thinking, perhaps I need to walk through another door.
I’d been feeling a creative calling within me and pivoted and moved to Shanghai. I still remember the looks on my manager’s faces when I resigned and told them my plans. My Dad also thought I was insane, we’re in the middle of a recession he said, and you’re throwing away your security!!! Despite that, I blew life into this new dream and reinvented myself as a sought after fashion stylist and creative director.
It was a bit of a pioneer moment in a time in China when no one really knew what a fashion stylist was and the sense of style and what was considered fashionable was very different from my own aesthetic. Nevermind the culture shock! This ended up being a huge lesson on learning to trust myself and my instincts. Despite that, I kept going and achieved success in my new path for several years. The universe had other plans for me though and during this time my life got completely derailed, through a spiritual awakening and subsequent burn out! I faced challenge after challenge, having to leave my beloved apartment, suffering from chronic fatigue, I dropped 7kgs in the process, which given my already lean state was not ideal and it took me several years to regain my health. Ultimately I made the decision to leave China when the 2022 lockdown really geared up and I had to take a sober look at my emotional and physical state, and realize it was time to go!
In my final two years in China I also lived amongst a community of Chinese farmers and a Conscious Minded group fueled by green and sustainable initiatives. In this time I witnessed the power of community, a completely different way of living and helping each other through the difficulties experienced in the lockdown. It was in these difficult but crucial times, that I really started to grasp the power and importance of a body, mind and soul connection…and of community. As a Westerner raised to be hyper independent, this lesson came slowly to me.
Now Europe.
I’ve achieved many milestones in my life, those that society regard as ‘success’, and yet, I haven’t felt deeply fulfilled by these things. Instead I’m following a path that honours my authenticity as much as possible so that I can be joyful, and also, be in service to the larger collective.
What am I particularly good at? Seeing the bigger picture, transformation, boundary work, shifting perspectives, the power of the pivot, bringing people together, seeing talents and possibility, finding creative solutions and thinking way outside the box…sometimes things are not as complicated as we think, and we need to remove something, change a habit, simplify, take a moment, have a conversation, but sometimes we need a complete overhaul. I don’t follow a formula, this is about seeing you and where you are on your journey and where you hope to go. In terms of my tools, I'm spiritual but I'm also practical and these are the worlds I like to bridge.
I’m for those seeking authenticity, the rebels. the seekers and those willing to put in the work. I’ve navigated some very murky waters myself and I can promise you a safe and non-judgmental space. If you’re interested in working with me either in a workshop, a 1-1 or hiring me as a speaker, reach out at natali@theflowprojects.com

Experiences Shared
"MY QUANTUM HEALING JOURNEY WITH NATALI WAS DEEPLY INSIGHTFUL AND PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH MY INNER WISDOM. I WAS UNAWARE THAT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WORLD WAS PRESENT, LET ALONE A PART OF ME, A PART OF MY OWN SUBCONSCIOUS. THE SESSION GAVE ME THE CONFIDENCE I NEEDED TO PROCEED WITH ASPECTS OF WORK WHERE I WAS EXPERIENCING BLOCKAGES AND TO MY SURPRISE, THE ADDED BONUS OF SOLIDIFYING MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY HUSBAND. NATALI'S GUIDANCE FLOWED LIKE AN ARTFORM. SHE WAS ABLE TO PICK UP NUANCES AND HELD SPACE FOR MY OWN SELF DISCOVERY WITH THE GENTLE STRENGTH OF A WOMAN. I FELT SAFE WITHIN HER PRESENCE AND APPRECIATED HER SENSITIVITY AND RESPECT TOWARDS MY STORY. THANK YOU NATALI FOR MAKING ME FEEL LOVED AND SEEN."

“NATALI TAKES CARE OF ANY ASPECT OF THE HYPNOSIS/QUANTUM SESSION. THE PRE TALK ABOUT MY SESSION WAS THE BEST I EVER EXPERIENCED IN THIS PRE-TALK I CLOSED MY EYES AND WAS ALREADY IN A TRANCE LIKE STATE. WE INVESTIGATED CAREFULLY. I LOVED THAT SHE WAS ASKING ME SUPPORTING QUESTIONS ALLOWING ME TO NAIL MY INTENTION DOWN TO CONCRETE WISHES. BEFORE WE MOVED TO THE HYPNOSIS SESSION SHE SHARED HER NOTES WITH ME AND I COULD ADJUST/TWEAK THEM TO MY LIKING. THE JOURNEY ITSELF REVEALED SOME SURPRISING ELEMENTS AS IF SOME WISER ENTITY SHARED SOME FUTURE RELEVANT INFORMATION WITH ME. THE NOTES HAVE BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE JOURNEY, RELEASING ITS POWER. NATALI DID SUPPORT ME THROUGHOUT THE JOURNEY WITH GENTLE CONFIRMATORY WORDS. I WILL DEFINITELY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER SKILLS WHEN I GET THE CALLING TO HAVE ANOTHER SESSION. FOR NOW ITS TIME TO INTEGRATE THE INFORMATION INTO MY LIFE AND RE-LISTEN TO THE RECORDING OF THE SESSION. DEEPLY GRATEFUL."

"NATALI'S SESSION CAME AT A MOMENT WHEN I FELT FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY IN MY DAILY LIFE. HER GUIDED CONVERSATIONS AND BREATH-WORK SESSION UNRAVELLED PATTERNS THAT I HAD ACCUMULATED OVER THE PAST YEAR. HER THREE-PART APPROACH CONSISTED OF AN INITIAL CONVERSATION IN WHICH WE DISCUSSED GENERAL LIFESTYLE, TO DETAILED SLEEPING PATTERNS AND BODY FUNCTIONS; INTENTION SETTING AHEAD OF THE BREATHWORK SESSION WHICH HELPED ME TO FOCUS MY NEEDS AND INTENTIONS FOR THE SESSION; AND THE BREATHWORK SESSION ITSELF. THIS HELPED TO READJUST MY PERSONAL SLEEPING PATTERN, WHICH WAS AN IMMEDIATE WIN, TO REFLECT ON MY NEEDS IN MY DAILY LIFE TO BE PRODUCTIVE AND THE CARING INDIVIDUAL I WANT TO BE, AND SUSTAINABLE WAYS TO DEAL WITH FRUSTRATION AND STRESS THROUGH BREATH-WORK. WHAT I APPRECIATE THE MOST IS NATALI'S INNOVATIVE AND INDIVIDUAL CENTRED APPROACH; SHE DOES NOT FOLLOW A FORMULA."
