About Natalie 

Picture
 
Hi, I’m Natalie Stockdale.

I’m a TRTP (The Richards Trauma Process) practitioner, resilience trainer and author — and I help people feel better… much better.

There’s a quote that’s always resonated with me:
“We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love … and then we return home.”

This reminds us that life isn’t about chasing happiness. It’s about growing through our experiences with wisdom and compassion. And when we do that, happiness often arrives as a natural outcome.

I believe adversity, as awful as it can be, is one of life’s greatest teachers. Like many of my clients, I’ve lived through hard times - horrendous droughts and floods,  and a traumatic divorce followed by cancer -  to name a few! 

I now understand what I didn’t back then — that stress and illness are often linked, that resilience is an antidote to stress, and that even in the hardest times, emotional wellness is a choice.

From these experiences came a calling to support others navigating life’s challenges. I left my work in animal welfare and trained in Mind-Body Medicine, Kinesiology, HeartMath, TRTP, and life coaching.

Today, I support people from all walks of life — including animal professionals, whose emotional challenges are deep, often unseen, and rarely spoken about.
​
My mission is simple: To help create a happier, healthier, and kinder world.

Outside Stockdale Wellbeing
I’m also a proud mother of three resilient, adult daughters, a grandmother, and a director and volunteer for Kintsugi Heroes, a not-for-profit mental health organisation that shares stories of resilience.
My lifelong love of animals inspired me to create the Animals & Us podcast, where I explore the profound and mutually beneficial connection between humans and animals.
If I’m missing for a little while, you’ll likely find me sailing around the Whitsundays, soaking in nature and recharging my energy.

'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. 
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. 
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.'
