My name is Natalie and I live in Gateshead, located in England, UK.

I volunteer with people in drug and alcohol recovery. I myself had an alcohol (20 years) and SSRI (16 years) 

addiction. 

Due to this, I have made it my passion to implement holism for mental health healing, spiritual awakenings and ego death. I also raise awareness of the damaging effects of suppression and escaping with alcohol and drugs.

I offer cheap affordable therapy at £15 per session. This is because I believe people who have suffered trauma or addictions are in the most vulnerable positions in life, poverty, ect. I aim to target where healing is neglected the most.  

I am also a psychic medium, I believe in the soul and spirit as the consciousness. I work with plants herbs, and the earth's energy to heal. 

This is something I have always been drawn to and suppressed from being a child due to fear of judgement or ending up being under psychiatric system control.

I have the following education: 

 Psychology (Bsc) - Graduated under British Psychological Society (BPS)

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Diploma Level 3 & 4 

Emotional Freedom Technique Diploma level 3

 Holistic Healthcare Practitioner Diploma

Neuroplasticity Diploma level 3

Naturopathy level 3

You can see which services I offer HERE.. My last disclosure and barring service (DBS) enhanced certificate is dated 15 April 2025. I keep up to date with this yearly. You can request to see this, please email me nataliemawson@holisticwellbeingsanctuary.org. 

I am interested in helping people recover from trauma and removing mental blocks that prevent them from living their healthiest, most authentic life. I also journal anonymously online about my lived experience, on the website Medium. 

I am hoping to the break the stigma and taboo of alcohol and drug addiction. Along with mental health 

symptoms that can be seen as 'schizo' or 'freak'. Experiencing these symptoms are nothing to be ashamed of, nor should you run from. 

Additionally, people experiencing them should know they are not alone or should be left to cope with their fears without the correct emotional regulation strategies. 

I have knowledge in spiritual practices/teachings, Buddha practices/teaching, stoicism, holistic therapy. I have    integrated them into my healing, they have helped me so much more than antidepressants or alcohol ever did. I am also a HUGE fan of old school philosophy! 

I do a lot of research and reading on consciousness and holistic healing for mental health as this is a huge interest of mine. 

The holistic journey is not a ‘quick fix’ like the drugs out there. But it can be a fun-filled path of self-discovery,   independence and empowerment. 

Luckily, there is something called neuroplasticity, this means the brain has the ability to change and heal itself. BUT this is not limited to the brain only! Your body also has self healing properties so long you allow it to heal by feeding it right. 

In no means is the Holistic Wellbeing Sanctuary here to tell you what you should be doing. It is simply a vision I have to help facilitate a healthier wellbeing for all. 

Healing and self discovery can become really fun, if you allow it and take the time to love and appreciate yourself.
