Hi, I am Nathalie
Artist ⋅ Mentor ⋅ Educator
I am passionate about bringing serenity and calm. Bringing more light into your life and home. That’s why I create paintings and courses inspired by nature, the flow of life and mindful living. Three elements that help you be your unique self and live harmoniously in a natural way.
Ready to surround yourself with what you need in your life and home?
Creativity, mindfulness, self-care and nature are at the heart of my paintings and courses. They help in finding calm and with personal growth, self-development and recovery.
In our hectic world, where being busy is often glorified, I understand how easy it is to lose yourself in responsibilities. My mission is to help you restore balance by bringing peace and creativity into your life amidst the daily chaos.
I do this work with all my heart and soul. It feels like an honor to walk beside you on your journey, to bring calming paintings into your life and to illuminate your path. Because believe me
you’re worth it!
A conscious step off the well-traveled path
Although creativity has played an important role in my life since childhood, I chose a path toward helping and guiding children, youth and adults. After more than 20 years in education and mental health care, I knew that while it is valuable work to empower people, it also asked a lot of me.
About 10 years ago, when I was in my mid-30s, I decided to try a different path. A path to find more peace, calm and quiet. I found this in mindfulness, nature and by embracing my creativity again. I started painting and drawing again. Now my favorite moments are moving my brush on the canvas to the sounds and rhythm of the music that is always on in the background. Alternating with taking long walks in a forest or at the seaside.

The journey brought me an unexpected insight
The paintings, the courses, that what I now bring into the world gives people what they need in a different way. I am still helping people now. I bring an oasis of peace and serenity with my paintings and help people step by step get closer to themselves and live a naturally harmonious life with my courses and guidance.
A different path, but still bringing light into the lives of others with a lot of (self) compassion.

The heart of it all
Creativity
It doesn’t matter whether you are painting, writing, dancing, cooking or bringing art into your home. Creating your personal oasis helps you restore and embrace more calm and joy in your life.
Mindfulness & Self-care
Feeling, noticing and ‘being’ first and then thinking about what a possible next step might be. It helps you to be in the present moment of your life and to take care of yourself.
Nature
Nature isn’t only a lovely source of inspiration. It helps you slow down and replenish your energy too, so that you can live life again with more healthy energy and resilience.
Kindness
I believe it is important to have a safe place where you can share your story and express yourself. Kindness is the foundation for this.
Light
There may be more light in life. Lightness in what you do, feel and how you live. Light in your home, your own safe haven. A light shining on your desires and your own strengths.
Flow & Intuition
Everyone is unique and needs something slightly different. It’s nice then if you try to follow what feels right, what makes your heart sing and blossom. In complete freedom.
Fun Facts
about me
No coffee please! Only tea. But I do LOVE the smell of it. Especially freshly ground coffee beans. It brings me right back to calm sunday mornings with the family.
In love with the color Pink. Don’t know why, just in love with it!
Nature is a big part of my life and in what I offer. But I don’t appreciate the insects, especially spiders, in my home. I kindly ask my husband to bring them outside again!
