ABOUT NATALIE
Hi, I’m Natalie Stuart
EXECUTIVE COACHING · (SHE/HER) · MBA · ICF PCC · CHN
I have been exactly where you are. The running on empty. The showing up for everyone else.
The sense that something needed to change, long before I had words for what.
For years I led in corporate Canada. At one point they wanted me to take on a role because they thought I was too accommodating. They wanted to toughen me up. So I did. I stepped in, and the feedback came back: we never knew you had that in you.
What I didn’t say out loud was that I felt like I had lost myself in it. I had lived in high gear, all drive, for so long that I had forgotten there was another way to lead.
THE CAMINO
When I finally walked the Camino - over 120 kilometres in six days - it didn’t teach me something I didn’t know. I’d already been on the journey. What it did, and what it continues to do, is invite me to step into the unknown. Six days, six lessons, each one asking me to move past what was comfortable. I came back with more courage than I left with, and with permission to speak in my own voice. Everything I share now, the writing, the walking, the reels, came after that road. It’s the same invitation I extend to my clients.
This is me stepping into the unknown too. When I ask my clients what they need to let go of, I know the answer for me is control. And I think it matters that I can look you in the eye and say yes, I know how scary it is to loosen that grip. I am doing it alongside you.
I also live with an autoimmune condition, which has amplified some challenges and, in its own way, deepened my resilience, softened my heart, and taught me to embrace change rather than resist it.
WHAT I BELIEVE
You can’t lead others until you lead yourself.
I feel strongly about one belief above all others: you can’t lead others until you lead yourself. The challenges leaders bring me, the micromanaging, the stress, the trouble delegating, almost always trace back to something running underneath. Sustainable change doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from building the internal conditions that make clarity, presence, and intentional action possible.
I bring together over 16 years in executive coaching, neuroplasticity, neuro-linguistic programming, HeartMath, breathwork, somatic tools, holistic nutrition, and more than fifteen years of leadership experience. Not as separate techniques, but as one integrated way of helping you come home to yourself.
I don’t take my clients anywhere I haven’t been myself.
HOW I WORK
Work with me, and I won’t hand you a plan and a worksheet.
I will get curious with you. I will ask the questions that help you hear yourself, because you already hold most of the answers. You just haven’t had the space, or the safety, to listen.
IN THEIR WORDS
"It’s not every day you can say someone changed your life. But Natalie changed mine, and I say that with more than a decade of life having come and gone since working with her as my coach. From the micro, like challenging me to a yoga class when she noticed I barely took a breath if flustered, to the macro, like inspiring me to take a coaching certification myself, which changed the trajectory of my whole professional career. There are few people who have had a more profound impact on choices I’m grateful for every single day."
