About Natalie
Hi, I’m Natalie Stockdale.
I’m a TRTP (The Richards Trauma Process) practitioner and author. 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 is one of life’s greatest teachers. I’ve lived through boarding school trauma, horrendous droughts, a traumatic divorce, and cancer — experiences that shaped my resilience and inspired me to help others. Today, I bring both lived experience and professional training to guide people through life’s challenges. I’ve learned that stress and illness are often linked, resilience is the antidote, and even in the hardest times, emotional wellness is a choice.
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. Let’s Work Together If you're ready to build your 'resilience muscle' and feel 'much better,' I'm here to support you. |
