Natascha has been working with women and children for most of her life. She has a degree in early childhood education and masters in psychology, her primary practicum was focused on neonatal healthcare at a program based out of Children’s Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School. Before transitioning to birthwork she was a lead preschool teacher for the twos class at a private school in Los Angeles. 

Natascha’s background is unique in that she melds together years of study in both empirically supported traditional academic settings with holistic practices and yogic dialogue. This gives her a healthy perspective in balancing the practical with the spiritual, something she finds key in supporting moms-to-be in their healing and brith experiences.  

Natascha is a trained Doula and completed Carson Meyers’ first Growing Together for Doulas class and also holds a certificate in herbalism from the Herbal Academy in New England.  

Natascha moved to Bend from Malibu for horse riding as outside of her professional practice she is an avid equestrian and has a rescue off the track thoroughbred named Luke.
