Natalie Keohane

Welcome! My name is Natalie (she/her), and I am a 300-hour registered yoga teacher, SEP, and Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student. My healing journey began in 2018 after a traumatic MVA that resulted in physical limitations and living in the experience of persistent pain. I turned to restorative yoga to learn the skill of relaxation in hopes of managing pain. This led me to work with a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner where I have experienced profound healing, regulation, and a deep respect for the body's wisdom. In my professional practice, I take a body-orientated approach, integrating SE, SE touch, and restorative yoga. I am passionate about helping individuals slow down and come home to their bodies, where they experience their aliveness—sensations. I use non-labeling language and work with the narrative of your nervous system to heal trauma and build resilience. We all have the innate capacity to move towards wellness, but when trauma occurs, we lose connection to our nervous system, ourselves, and others. I believe that, given the right conditions, individuals can heal from trauma, reconnect to self and others, and experience profound awakenings.
