Natalie “NatNat” Bedard
Somatic Emotional Healing
and Nervous System Guide
You don’t need to be fixed.
You need to be witnessed.

You’ve been holding it together for so long,
you forgot what it feels like to just… be.
You know something is off.
Maybe broken. Maybe just disconnected.
You’ve tried understanding it.
Talking about it. Pushing through it. And still, that heaviness hasn’t lifted.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re too much and not enough at the same time…
you belong here.
This is Lift OneSelf – a somatic healing space.
Here you don’t have to perform your healing, justify your feelings, or hold it together.
You get to arrive.
You don’t need more insight.
You need to come home to your body.
And that’s exactly what we do here.
I’m NatNat. And I’ve been waiting for you.
Like any good healing journey, we’re in transition. We moved our online home
intentionally, and while the site is being rebuilt, everything that matters is still
right here waiting for you.

Meet NatNat
Somatic Emotional Healing and
Nervous System Guide
Founder of Lift OneSelf
You’ve done the work. You’ve held space for others. You’ve stayed strong when softness was what you needed most. Now you’re being called back to your body, your truth, yourself.
I’m NatNat. I guide people through the sacred, somatic return to their own wisdom. Not just to heal, but to remember who they’ve always been beneath the noise, the coping, and the roles.
My work is rooted in lived experience: grief, illness, trauma, and the quiet rebuilding of a nervous system that forgot what safe felt like. I know the ache of collapse and what it takes to rise again, from the inside out.
At Lift OneSelf, I support the strong ones, the quiet feelers, the over-functioners… those who’ve always been the anchor to release the performance, feel without shame, and reclaim their aliveness through somatic awareness and nervous system healing.
My clients describe our work as “finally feeling seen” and “coming home to themselves.
How I Work
This isn’t therapy. Therapy helps you understand emotions. Somatic work helps you feel, process, and integrate them in your body
so they no longer run your life from the background.
This isn’t coaching. Coaching gives you strategies. I give you space to drop the performance, feel without drowning,
and come home to your body.
In our sessions:
- You release what you’ve been carrying — somatically, not just verbally
- We work body-first, tracking sensation, breath, and nervous system signals
- Your body learns it’s safe to be human
- You leave grounded, clearer, softer
Somatic. Trauma-informed. Spirit-led.
Because healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering what’s always been whole and your body already knows the way.
What is Somatic Healing?
“Soma” means body and somatic healing is more than bodywork. It’s the understanding that your body has been keeping score long before your mind caught up. Every experience you’ve pushed through, swallowed, or outrun lives somewhere in your tissues, your breath, your nervous system.
Somatic healing creates enough safety that your body finally feels permission to let it go. Not through talking about it. Through feeling it and moving it through.
That moment when your shoulders drop without being told to. When a yawn comes and suddenly you feel lighter. When tears fall and something in you exhales.
That’s somatic.
And here’s what most people don’t expect, it doesn’t happen fast. The nervous system doesn’t heal on demand. It heals in safety, in rhythm, in trust.
Slow and Steady.
Not because you’re behind. Because that’s exactly how deep healing works.
Why This Matters
Most support systems teach you to manage your emotions or talk about them. This work helps you actually move through them in your body so they stop driving your behaviour from the background.
If you have ever left a therapy session with more insight but still the same heaviness, this is the missing piece. Not instead of therapy. Alongside it. Beneath it. The foundation that makes everything else land.
This is for the person who is done understanding their patterns and ready to actually change how they feel inside them.
