A wee bit about Natalie
Natalie Hyson is from a long lineage of matriarchal women who taught her to notice the changing rhythms of nature; to converse with angels and to listen to the whispers of spirits. Her own healing journey began on a mystical trip to India and Nepal when she was 20 years old which led to her training as Holistic Therapist and a Reiki Practitioner. A strong entrepreneurial nature, Natalie had started running two businesses by the time she was 26. By the time she was 30, she had left it all behind to travel the world for 6 months. She came back 8 years later…
Her travels took her to a small island in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Thailand where she met her yoga teacher Mona Haymaker, a connection that changed her life once again. She started teaching yoga in 2010 after a 2 year training apprenticeship and set up a Holistic Healing business in Koh Lanta for the next 7 years.
Returning to Devon in 2013, Natalie set up a Yoga & Massage business in Totnes where she worked for 9 years. As her healing journey continued to unfold, she found her Soul Friend who shared the same dream. Together, they bought a field, built their dream and are currently living happily every after at Dartmoor Reach Alpaca Farm.
Natalie’s passion and personal dharma lies in helping others to find their own healing journey; to help others find their inner strength and to connect to the amazing personal power that lies within. Natalie is committed to what she believes to be her life purpose – to help make people feel better about themselves and to help set them on their journey of healing, self discovery and personal growth.
Natalie combines her knowledge and experience of yoga, meditation, energy healing, holisitc therapy and well being to create classes, workshops and retreats that encourage students to take control of their health and healing by focusing on their specific problem areas and personal blockages, helping them to develop a deeper relationship with their bodies and focus on their personal goals.
Natalie and her husband Josh realised their dream of opening a yoga studio and glamping huts at Dartmoor Reach Alpaca Farm. They spent the lockdown year creating and building a small holding farm with 3 beautiful glamping huts and converted a double-decker bus into family accommodation.
