Words of Praise: Transformational Journeys Shared
“Natasja Pelgrom is a remarkably gifted and skilled guide and healer. On a basic human level, she is sensitive and intuitive and seems to have an ability to listen and understand people that’s pretty rare these days. She brings ancient wisdom and traditions to the ceremonies and workshops she holds. She has a powerful presence during the ceremony yet holds the space with a gentle, non-judgmental, friendly and down to earth attitude.
I have been amazed how she can hold each person story and be aware of what they need to work on at any moment, always knowing when we need guidance and when we need to work thru what comes up alone. Her work before and after each ceremony is equally important and she has helped me enormously both with preparation and integration. I am also impressed with how quickly and precisely she can get to the root of whatever is disturbing someone to help them identify it and work thru it.
What I like best is that despite her considerable gifts and skills she does not have a “spiritual ego” or fall into the trap of becoming a sort of guru or hold herself at a remove from clients , rather she reminds us that we are all human and have human frailties and with that she puts us at ease and allows us to explore both our vulnerabilities and strengths”

“It would be hard to overstate the profound experience provided by Natasja. The medicine is itself profound, but the true wonder of the experience comes from the skilful and meaningful construction of the retreat around it. Each ceremony and ritual complements and strengthens the next in a completely tangible and experiential way. The result is an individual experience within a shared group experience that is focussed with precision to achieve what is needed by that person at that time, supported by others. All this is powered with the authenticity, knowledge, and compassion of Natasja”

Words of Praise: Transformational Journeys Shared
“Natasja is a very humble person, her mentoring has given me the tools to reconnect with myself and to develop myself while moving forward from my life blocks. Having a life-coach as Natasja is something that I really recommend to all people that are looking for their own inner peace. I really feel that without all the work we did together I could have never made a surgery I had. Thank you."
