About Me.
Hello! I am Natalie Forsell! I am a wife, mother, doctor of physical therapy, pelvic health specialist and virtual postpartum fitness coach. My love for pelvic floor health stems from my own journey with leaking, multiple births, and a never-ending changes of this magnificent body I inhabit!
I am passionate about helping individuals feel empowered to understand their bodies and pelvic floor when so many of us have no idea what the heck is going on down there!
The truth is what you have heard from your friends, mothers, aunts and grandmas as common DOES NOT mean that it’s normal. You can be free from leaking when you cough, sneeze, and jump. You can have pain-free vibrant sex! You can recover, decrease, or eliminate your prolapse or diastasis recti. You can even learn ways to optimize your pelvic health to make birth a smoother process!
I have found that often the biggest barrier for moms to get help is the act of getting out the front door when life feels like chaos around you. If you are a new mama, it can feel impossible to carve out time for yourself. I can give you the tools to overcome barriers like lack of time, lack of energy, motivation, and fear around exercising again!
I have created the perfect program to take you from feeling stuck with a body that doesn’t feel like your own, discouraged with how weak and tired you feel, and unsure about how to get stronger without making your back pain or leaking worse….
to powerful, confident, and capable of keeping up with your little ones and getting back to the running, hiking, and fitness classes you used to love!
My New Native Coaching Mission
As creator of New Native Coaching I believe that while in the midst of significant life transitions like becoming pregnant and having a baby there is also an evolution of our identities and bodies. What was once familiar is now foreign, yet there is something faintly familiar to our core. We are experiencing something entirely NEW within ourselves as our bellies swell and take on an entirely new shape once our precious littles greet us out in the open air. As so many things in our lives and bodies change, there is still a deep-seeded unwavering NATIVE within us anchoring our identities in who we truly are outside of the labels we carry as mother, partner, friend, employee or entrepreneur. YOU are NEW yet NATIVE within your own skin. I desire to help you charter a new way forward through pregnancy, birth and beyond- at least physically- in this new body of yours as you begin to build strength and stability after the most extraordinary physiological transformation the human body can endure.
I believe there is no such thing as “getting your body back.” This phrase utterly minimizes the miraculous power within you that you have experienced as you carried and birthed your child. There is a new found grit and strength you have unleashed on this journey to parenthood that makes you infinitely stronger than you ever were before you held your baby in your arms.
Therefore, we don’t need to get “back” to where you were or what you looked like, rather you embark on this expedition forward with new goals to embrace your family and your life with strength, endurance, perseverance, and grace. Leave the numbers on the scale, the calories, and the jean sizes behind for we have no need of them here. I believe all mothers deserve pain free and vibrant sex postpartum. I believe no mother needs to fear leaking at any time with any activity for the remainder of their lives. I believe you can and should only get better with age like fine wine.
