Reach out
you are not alone

The driving force in my life has always been the pursuit of growth and understanding myself spiritually. Ultimately finding my way back to wholeness. For the past 25 years, a guiding question has shaped my journey: how do I heal from the false voice that tells me 'I am not enough' and separates me from the wonderous present moment, from feeling a connection to myself, to others, and to all of creation? This question has incrementally transformed me from the inside out into the living answer. My mission is to live and serve from this present moment with love.

My sessions with Natasha have been truly transformative. Her care and gentle groundedness created a container of safety and trust allowing my body to really receive and relax into the inner process work. Her knowledge base of psychology and her spiritual path feel like such a beautiful bridging of worlds bringing a depth and awareness to the space she holds. Deeply grateful of our journey together.

I came to Natasha Swift casually for counselling in order to complete an assessment for my bachelor's degree. I found her to be kind and helpful. I soon learned through my session with her that I actually had buried issues that I needed help with, and she then went on to work with me over the course of almost six months. We did this all through online counselling, and I can say with absolute assurance that Natasha Swift helped me better understand and cope with my issues in a sustainable and productive manner. I never felt as though she was not listening to me, her insights were invaluable, and I came away very happy with her services

I met Natasha at what seemed like a cross road in my life. I needed to make sense of the avalanche of emotions I was feelings and experiencing. Natasha was not only professional and empathetic but conducted our sessions with authentic relatability to my soul. The psychology field is blessed to have her
MemmeIndividual counselling
Going into counselling I was apprehensive as I had to talk about things that concerned me, however Natasha helped me to work through my emotions and understand what I went through. Natasha helped me navigate the complexity of trauma and helped me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Natasha equipped me with tools which I use on a daily bases which has helped me to see what's in front of me more clearly!

I am so grateful to have found Natasha to help my teenage child through some difficult times. She is a thoughtful, caring, non- judgemental listener who provides a safe sanctuary for open discussion. My child is able to process and implement the advice Natasha gives her, which has helped lessen feelings of anxiety. I would highly recommend her.

My 17 year old daughter has been going to Natasha for about a year, and the change this has brought about is amazing. She is much more confident now, can understand and handle her emotions better. It has been a great support for me as a mother to have someone else helping her make sense of herself the world around her. and her emotions. And also has helped her immensely when it comes to interacting with her friends. A support I have not been able to give her, as I feel I am too close to her heart. I would highly recommend Natascha to any teen in turmoil.
LottaAdolescent counselling
My daughter struggled significantly with social anxiety. From the very first session, Natasha created a safe and welcoming environment that made my daughter feel comfortable and understood. Her compassionate and professional approach was instrumental in helping her open up about her feelings and challenges. Through various techniques and strategies, Natasha taught my daughter how to manage her anxiety and build her social skills. As a result, my daughter has become more confident and engaged in social settings. I wholeheartedly recommend Natasha to anyone seeking support for similar issues.

We have had a few ceremonies on our land, here at The Gaia Sanctuary. Natasha was naturally the first person we wanted to ask each time, and we are so glad we did, as she created and delivered exactly what we were wanting every time. Natasha puts great thought, and attention to detail into creating her ceremonies, and managed to capture the essence of exactly what we were hoping for. Our first ceremony was a Full Moon burn ceremony, her rich words flowed, and we were all moved by the potency of the energy that night. Our second ceremony was very special to us, it was our Gaia Sanctuary Land Blessing Ceremony. We can honestly say, since the day of the Blessing, energy has most definitely shifted on the land, there has been more ease, more flow, more abundance, and more of the right people flocking our way, we have no doubt it is due to the Blessing Ceremony and the energy and intention behind it.
