This Canadian born former gymnast graduated in 1995 with a Bachelor of Social Sciences, majoring in both Sociology and Leisure Studies from the University of Ottawa, Canada's capital city. Shortly after graduating college, she pursued her dream of traveling and embarked on a journey to study various forms of massage therapy. Her voyage began in Japan, where she taught English to fund her education in the ancient form of massage therapy called Shiatsu. She continued her travels to Thailand to further expand her knowledge of health and wellness. There, she studied another form of massage therapy called Thai massage. She went on to Australia where she began exploring a variety of forms of other holistic health practices.
Her travels continued another two years when she was employed with Club Med in Mexico, aboard a Cruise Ship and lastly, in the Bahamas. It was in the resort city of Cancun that she began attending and then teaching aerobic classes to visiting tourists. Upon her return to Canada, she went back to school for yet another year and became a Certified Personal Trainer Specialist (PTS), Fitness Instructor Specialist (FIS) and Pilates Matwork Instructor. A few years later, she added the certification of Nutritional & Wellness Specialist (NWS).
Her many skills, work ethic, dedication and commitment to the fitness industry led the Canadian Government to sponsor her endeavors, sending her to school (for business management and marketing) and financing a 2 month trip to Cameroon (Western Africa) with a non-profit organization to instruct local Fitness Instructors and Personal Trainers in new fitness techniques, to teach physical education classes to school children, and to conduct Health Consultations and Wellness Seminars in rural villages. Soon thereafter, she relocated to beautiful Bermuda when she accepted a position at a leading fitness club. It was there that she met and married her husband of 7 years.
Nathalie currently resides in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania with her husband Luke, and their two children, Chloe (6) and Max (4).
