What Is Resilience?
Resilience isn’t about bouncing back, or false positivity, or 'toughing it out' alone. It’s about growing through adversity and moving forward with more insight, strength, and wisdom than before.
My resilience training is grounded in this philosophy. It’s practical, evidence-based, and shaped by real-world experience.
Whether you're facing personal challenges or supporting others through theirs, these sessions will help you:
Specialised Support for Animal Professionals
If you work with animals, you carry more than responsibility. You carry emotion.
Whether you're a veterinarian, nurse, shelter staff, wildlife carer, animal welfare advocate, or a farmer affected by drought, bushfires, or floods, the emotional toll can run deep. I understand that pain — because I’ve been there.

Testimonials

“We recently engaged with Natalie to take a number of our associates through a Wellbeing Masterclass.
From the start, it was obvious we had found someone of high quality who was both easy to work with and truly cared about the effectiveness of their training and helping us as individuals. The associates who attended the masterclass all found it either extremely helpful in working through challenging times, or equipping themselves with strategies to be able to cope in challenging times of change. Natalie is knowledgeable and inspiring as well as practical and caring. We would not hesitate to work with her further or recommend her to others.” Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas |
Dear Natalie,
I and my fellow delegates at Hampshire’s Civilian Military Partnership Conference held at Royal Air Force Odiham watched your keynote address, and are now beginning to appreciate the human spirit and mentality in different ways. Your personal journey from extreme adversity to a position where you can draw on advanced research and insight to guide others through significant personal challenges is inspiring in itself. Your presentation provided an innovative and thought-provoking inspiration for our Conference and our principal focus on resilience. It was widely appreciated by all who attended. Please accept our grateful thanks for setting the scene with such authority from sunny Australia. With very best wishes, Andrew Joy Hampshire County Cllr, Hampshire Armed Forces Champion Chairman, Hampshire Civilian Military Partnership Board, UK |
“Like many, I’m sure, we overlooked the importance of “wellbeing” as a pillar of strong team performance. Natalie used her personal experiences to create an environment that captured the attention of our Leadership Team, and ultimately had them embrace and relate to her concepts. This was evident as they recalled some of Natalie’s key messages during our subsequent review and planning sessions. Natalie can bring a new dimension to your staff development and prosperity”.
