“I’m speechless.

I want to really thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so grateful for you creating this program and teaching us how to finally get to know ourselves and our emotions. I never knew how to deal with any of them, which was also the reason I was super scared of big emotions. I shut down, having anxiety attacks and not knowing what to do with all of this. I felt completely helpless and left alone.

After only a few months of working with you this completely shifted. I can now confidently say that I am no longer scared of anything inside of me. I not only learned to identify different emotions but can also see them and accept them in their full capacity. I meet any sensation or emotion with pure curiosity and love.

Consciousness Exercise is now my best friend. I cannot go a week without feeling into my Body and recognizing my emotions. Not only am I no longer scared of what’s inside of me, I genuinely crave feeling everything. I now recognize the tightness in my chest, the unwell feeling in my belly and the heaviness on my shoulders. They aren’t enemies anymore, they are here to guide me deeper.

Polarity Work opened my eyes for all the perspectives there are. I am now able to see my own wholeness in all my unique, strange, sad, happy, scared, excited, loving parts. They are here to be seen and to be heard and, ultimately, loved. I now know that I cannot deal with everything in my head, especially when all my parts are simultaneously screaming at each other. Sometimes we have to take the parties out of our body to really truly see the full picture. To talk and cry everything out and come to a conclusion. Or not. Both are fine, nothing is right.

Changing History Exercise really did change my life. Or still is. To really feel into our Patterns and find out where they’re coming from, means freedom now, in the present moment. It means to truly, fully understand the current Self. I never got to know anything as powerful as changing the present by imagining a better past. It is simply incredible.

All of this paired with your wisdom and expertise on human relationships, the human experience and your sweet soul is more than a blessing. I am still in awe, when I think about the acceptance and feeling of being seen, you gave to each and every one of us. I truly find it an unbelievable blessing to have found you and have been able to work with you this deeply.

Originally I entered this Course with the Intention to learn more about healthy romantic relationships. I am now coming out with a completely new relationship with myself and feeling more secure in myself than ever. I got tools I can, and most definitely will, work with and a new level of consciousness accompanying me for the rest of my life. Words cannot describe the level of gratitude I’m feeling.

Both Feet In is the “101 how to life” guide everyone should be taught.”

“Natalie challenged me in a ways I never even knew possible. Through her 1:1 coaching I was able to get out of my head and into my body. I learned to combat false beliefs I learned as a child, made peace with my inner childhood wounds, worked through internal polarities and grew my awareness leaps and bounds. Her tools did more for me in 4 months than 10 years of therapy. I wish everyone could do this intensive work with her - I will forever be grateful for this process and will continue to practice what she has taught me.

Thank you from bottom of my heart for the work you are doing. My heart is so full and I know the work we completed will continue to impact my life (and my soon to be family of 3) in a positive way. I can already see massive changes in the way I communicate and process my external world. ”

“Before joining BFI, I was at a fork in the road. I fell out of love, had the choice to follow my dreams and end my 6-year relationship or stay and do the work. I believed I needed to do life on my own and couldn’t grow within the relationship. My entire body was out the door, ready to go.

But something told me to join BFI because my higher self wasn’t going to give up that easily even though my mind had all the reasons to leave. Now, after completing BFI, my inner world and relationship with my partner have COMPLETELY shifted. I never imagined our relationship could be the way it is today. It moved from resentment and fear to love, respect, and gratitude because I made the choice to stay from an empowered, grounded place.

I’ve embraced my feminine energy (something I struggled with for years) by trusting and surrendering to this ecstatic journey known as life.

My anxious, fearful parts have taken a different shape, and I’m no longer consumed by it. Of course, there are days when I feel anxious, but this program taught me how to create space for my anxiety as well as deep love. I’m my own inner mother for my younger parts and it’s oh so beautiful to be in this space.

So much gratitude for Nat and her team!

“I discovered the BFI-A course via Natalie’s social media, which was the first place I’d ever seen my feelings of relationship anxiety “labeled.” I didn’t know anyone with relationship anxiety, let alone that this was a real thing. I already felt so validated, but was still skeptical that I could heal. (It was always, “everyone else will figure it out, but not sure I’m capable!”).

Joining BFI-A gave me a tremendous amount of comfort meeting others walking a similar journey. Also, knowing Natalie had experience with RA in her own partnership was another important key to me trusting the process.

The camaraderie amongst the group was really special. I came into the group while in a 7-year relationship with my boyfriend. I’d been questioning it on and off the entire time, and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t move forward with marriage given the loving, trusting, secure partnership we had. We never even had that “honeymoon” phase, and constantly comparing my relationship to others made me feel so flawed. Friends and family always shared how much they loved him and couldn’t understand why I was hesitating. I knew in my heart I couldn’t move forward either way until I figured out some things about myself. I assumed I was settling with him but also could not figure out WHY I also couldn’t break up with him. I’d broken up with multiple boyfriends before. It haunted me and became all consuming. I analyzed every interaction and every moment we had together, trying to gather information so I could make “the right decision.”

I assumed this course would give me that “green light” to walk away. To realize that even though I’d invested 7 years, this wasn’t it. I was thrown for a loop and it did quite the opposite. I learned more about myself (along with the help of personal therapy), how to meditate for the first time in my life, and that I had a repeated pattern of projecting my own stress and sadness onto him and our relationship.

A couple of months after the course ended, I let my partner know that I was ready to move forward and we are now engaged! We’re so excited for this next journey of our lives together and I feel incredibly lucky to have him as my partner. Knowing he was here all along now brings me pride instead of embarrassment.

P. S. My BFI-A BFF got engaged around the same time and we’re planning to meet up to celebrate!”

““Relationships make you conscious”. My favourite quote from Natalie.

I had reached a desperate crossroads with my boyfriend of 9 years. After rejecting marriage from him twice and the biggest fight in our relationship, I was living a daily life of sleep-losing, chest-stabbing anxiety. Do I marry him or break up with him? I couldn’t fathom ever coming up with an answer after intellectually debating the pros and cons in my head for years. I decided to invest in Both Feet In thinking it could help me mend my relationship with my partner. To my surprise, Natalie’s course mended my relationship with myself; which was actually where a huge part of my relationship anxiety stemmed from. Through the BFI meditations and coursework, I discovered just how disconnected I was from my emotions, thoughts, wants, and needs. How my childhood had shaped the beliefs that I held about men, relationships, and how I “should” behave in them. I felt so supported and not so alone anymore to be with a group of strong and beautifully vulnerable women that could all relate to each other. People used to say to me “follow your gut” or “use your intuition” and I literally had no idea what they were talking about. Now I can hear my own voice, I trust in myself more, and it feels like I’m awake for the first time in my life after a long slumber of people pleasing, pathological self-sacrificing, and suppressing my whole self.

Every day since taking this course has been my best relationship anxiety day. I had no idea that bringing to consciousness and allowing ALL of my thoughts and emotions (including those I deemed “bad” or “negative”) to flow out of me would give me the clarity and courage to proceed with marriage with my partner. It turns out that the solution to all of my relationship anxiety questions (“do I leave or stay?”, “is this relationship anxiety or do I not love him anymore?”, “what does it mean that I feel this way?”, etc.) was never going to come from my rational brain. I tried that for 9 years. The solution was actually unlearning harmful relationship beliefs and answering the question “How do I feel?”. For the first time in years, I can actually answer that question now. BFI was a life changing course for me. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone who is struggling with relationship anxiety, whether you’re in a relationship or not. I am so grateful to Natalie and the friends I’ve made through consciousness exercises along the way.”
