Meet our founder
The NU Company emerged from a genuine desire to spare others from the life-altering wake-up call our founder faced.
Natalie has lived through the highs and lows of corporate life. Working for global organizations including Accenture and Live Nation, she learned firsthand what fuels personal and professional growth—and what burns it down.
A personal health crisis fueled by burnout and mold (unknowingly), made her realize that the career she was deeply invested in was no longer aligned for her and that health was # 1 - without it, nothing else really matters.
This realization sparked a journey into mindfulness, neuroscience, nutrition, and detoxification, reshaping not just her physical and emotional well-being but her approach to leadership coaching and life as well.
“I’ve seen the pressures of Corporate America up close,” Natalie says. “That wake-up call showed me there’s a better way to lead—a way that lights you up, not burns you out.”
This holistic approach is now the heart of her coaching philosophy. Natalie’s method is integrative, immersive, and impactful. She dives deep, building leaders from the inside out.
"... there's a better way to lead, a way that lights you up, not burns you out."
"We focus on strategic, sustainable growth for you - as an executive, leader, and as a person. We have fun creating the next iteration of you based on your own and other key inputs. As terrifying as it is to go through a 360 process (for my corporate clients), it's where the gold is. You might cry. We'll definitely laugh. You'll leave the engagement with a better understanding of yourself, what needed to shift, and how to continue sustainably achieving even better results as this next version of you. I hope we'll get the chance to work together."
A Note from Natalie:

Our aim is to empower leaders to achieve success while healing and evolving how they think, communicate, and embody leadership. We go beyond traditional coaching to create lasting impacts on our clients and their communities.
Here’s how:
We aim to cultivate a new generation of empathetic, high-performing leaders within the corporate world.
Our focus is on sustainable, meaningful change grounded in integrity and strategy.
We believe in creating a ripple effect where transformed leaders inspire and empower those around them.

about our brand
The Fibonacci Sequence and the Nautilus Shell
The Fibonacci sequence and the nautilus shell are more than just mathematical and natural wonders—they are symbols of growth, expansion, and renewal. The Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, is a principle that appears throughout nature. It’s a blueprint for organic growth, from the arrangement of leaves to the spirals of sunflowers.
The nautilus shell, with its perfect spiral, is a representation of nature's precision and balance. Each chamber of the nautilus shell signifies its past growth stages, while the unoccupied larger chambers symbolize its potential for future growth. This spiral is a physical manifestation of the Fibonacci sequence, growing in direct proportion to the organism’s needs. It’s a powerful reminder of how growth, while uncomfortable, can actually be both orderly and harmonious.
Just as the nautilus shell grows with geometric precision, expanding only as needed, The NU Co aims to help our clients grow in a structured way, reflecting past achievements while also looking forward toward future potential.
