Her Path to Mental Performance
Nathalie's passion for sport goes back to when she was six years old - the only girl playing soccer with the boys. Regardless of gender, age, or size, the field was always the place where she felt truly free, happy, and like she belonged. When her family moved to Montreal, sport was once again what kept her grounded. From soccer, she moved into track & field and rugby, chasing that same feeling in every new sport she tried.
Those years of competing taught her the value of self-development, dedication, discipline, health, teamwork, sportsmanship, and resilience - lessons that led her to a Bachelor of Health Science, where she dove into interdisciplinary frameworks to better understand human health and well-being.Mixing her passion for sport and personal growth, she joined integrated support teams as a student trainer of athletic therapy and junior performance coach. Fascinated by human behavior and the psychology behind it, she went on to complete a master's degree specializing in mental performance consulting.Guided by curiosity, growth, and adaptability, Nathalie's mission is to help you through the journey of growth - both on and off the field - creating spaces where mental health, well-being, and sustainable high performance can thrive together.
