Nathalie Golding

Nathalie Golding is a Barbadian yogini, meditation teacher and mindset, self-discovery and leadership coach. She lives in Barbados with her family and describes herself as a poet, priestess and pilgrim, someone who lives connected to nature, spiritual exploration and magic.

Her training spans several disciplines. She is a qualified Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and has trained with Tony Robbins and with NLP's creator, Dr. Richard Bandler. She studied post-graduate psychology and Voice Dialogue facilitation with Dr. Hal and Dr. Sidra Stone, and she continues to receive mentoring from Dr. Sidra Stone. She is also a certified advanced-level Amrit Yoga teacher, having studied under Yogi Amrit Desai, and has 18 years of experience in that practice.

Her meditation and breathwork classes blend Yoga Nidra and Buddhist meditation techniques. She draws on Christian and Native American spirituality and Shamanic journeying, and lets each class unfold intuitively. A typical session moves through breathwork, seated meditation, guided relaxation and satsang. Classes are often held outdoors by the sea, and beginners are welcome. Her retreats are tailored to each group and include cave and floating meditations, yoga among the island's mahogany trees, and creative practices such as poetry and clay work. Students describe her as someone who creates a safe space and keeps the pace relaxed.

In 1991 Nathalie founded Action in Mind, which offers corporate workshops and coaching to local and international organizations, often taking teams out into nature. She also offers private self-discovery sessions, online and in person.

A spiritual traveller, she has sat a ten-day Vipassana silent retreat, written poetry in Auvillar, France, visited Glastonbury in the UK, and deepened her psychology training in Mendocino, California. She brings what she learns back to her students. She is the author of "Poems of Self," a collection of inspirational poems about love and life.
