Natalie — Founder, Vim & Zen

The Gist

I spent most of my life tuned into everyone else — and lost touch with myself in the process.

Now I help people figure themselves out so they can be real and connect.

I’ve walked through my own rebuilding — and I’m still in it. I’m not just living this work. I’m studying it.

This isn’t woo.
It’s grounded, practical, and it works.

Why I Do This Work

I used to be able to read everyone in the room — except myself.

When someone asked me how I was, I genuinely didn’t know.

I’d learned how to stay connected to others by disconnecting from myself.

What I’ve learned since is simple:

Most people aren’t struggling because they don’t want connection.

They’re struggling because they don’t know how to stay connected to themselves and others at the same time.

That’s the work I guide people through.

Why This Is Grounded

I don’t rely on insight alone.

I study why this works — the research, the neuroscience, and the frameworks that create lasting change.

This work is personal. And it’s backed by science.

What I Bring To This Work

  • BS in Family and Human Development

  • Master’s in Business Creation — University of Utah

  • Certified Life Coach (ADDCA)

  • Harvard Medical School Certificate: Building a Life of Wellness

  • Special Education Teaching Certification & Classroom Experience

  • Lived experience — integrated with research and practice

What I Believe

Knowing yourself matters. Sharing yourself matters.

Clear on who you are. Connected to others.

The deepest fulfillment comes from both.

That’s what Vim & Zen is about.
