Pomegranate seeds — symbol of sensuality, desire, and transformation

Author·Intimacy Coach·Workshop Facilitator

Stop pretending it's fine.

Because it's not always fine. And that's okay.

I'm Nathalie. Women come to me in the second half of life, usually after a big life change (a divorce, menopause, a move that was much harder than planned...)

I also work with the partners standing next to them, trying to find their way back in.

I don't do scripts, and I don't do judgment. I do honest work: the kind most people only get with a friend who's known them for twenty years, not a coach they met last week.

Nathalie has helped me grow my inner safety and speak my unconscious truth out loud. An amazing journey.

Marianne

An excellent, energetic and experienced facilitator who will safely hold space for your transformational work.

Yelli

So beautifully brave and honest. I've learnt so much from her vulnerability and openness — truly inspiring.

Malak

That evening did me a lot of good. I felt connection and it shifted my mood — from gloomy to happy.

Gerda

I love your humour most — your optimism and good nature and strength and wisdom too.

About Me

Hello, I am Nathalie

I work with people who feel stuck around intimacy, their body, or a relationship that's gone quiet — not to fix what's broken, but to help you find what's actually still there, underneath the performance of being fine.

You've stopped expecting desire to come back. Maybe you've stopped talking about it altogether — especially if your body's been rewriting its own rules since perimenopause hit. That's the specific chaos of midlife hormones lying to you about who you are, and it's exactly where I work.

No spiritual bypassing. No forcing. No pretending. Just honest, unshockable work, from someone who's rebuilt her own life more than once — including her own mind, temporarily, during perimenopause — and isn't afraid of what you'll say.

Featured Retreat

Claim Your Crone

Seven days of exploration.

Seven days to meet the woman you became through and after menopause. And fully own her.

Mornings of embodiment, afternoons of writing or rest, evenings of the kind of honest conversation you don't get anywhere else. No woo-woo. No performance. Spacious private en-suite rooms and excellent food.

Signature Programs

Ready for a Reset?

Intimacy Reset (6 sessions)

Your desire didn't disappear. It went underground.

One-on-one work, six sessions in, at a better rate than paying per session. Whatever brought you here — desire that's gone quiet, a body that stopped making sense, a partner you've stopped talking to — six sessions is enough time to actually get somewhere, instead of just scratching the surface.

Couples Program

When did you last really want each other?

We'll name what you've both stopped saying, work through it in the room instead of around it, and find out what you actually want: from each other, and from this stage of your life.

The Sensual Crone

Five Truths About Pleasure in Midlife

Finished on my 60th birthday. Because why not.

The book nobody wrote for you when your body started changing and your desire didn't disappear: it just got weirder, wilder, and more interesting.

Five truths. Zero sugarcoating.

★★★★★5/5

“Liberating and reassuring.”

A honest and most needed book about female sexuality in mature age. As a man, and partner, I found this book clarifying and liberating in so many ways. We are both in our sixties, and this has improved our sex-life immensely.

— Amazon US, May 2026

★★★★★5/5

“A light to brighten the day”

It came exactly at the right time to tell me my life isn't over — it is just a new beginning of someone who is waiting to be discovered. I am not broken, invisible or discarded by life's joy.

— Amazon DE, July 2026
