Hey there, I’m Natiska — but most people call me Tisk.

Since I was a child, I’ve been endlessly curious about human behaviour — not just what we do, but why we do it, how we feel it, and how we find our way back to ourselves. I would quietly observe my own reactions — how my body language shifted with certain emotions, how even a slight change in my tone of voice revealed something deeper stirring beneath the surface. I was always studying, always sensing, always asking: what’s really going on here?

I grew up training intensively as a gymnast — nearly 30 hours a week — and competed nationally in gymnastics, ballet, swimming and sprinting. I have my dad to thank for his athletic build and love of sport, and it was through movement and discipline that I first began to understand the relationship between body, mind and performance.

That passion for optimising human potential has always lived in me. I’ve been a self-learner for as long as I can remember — diving deep into nutrition, experimenting with my own energy, health and mood as a way of learning from the inside out. Herbs and spices have long been my only healing cabinet — the gold of the earth, as I call them.  I’ve even run lab tests on myself for durations of time to explore how what we consume can directly shape the way we feel, function and heal. I truly believe that what we put into our bodies can either restore or deplete us — and learning to listen to that is an act of deep self-respect.

My mum was my first teacher — a quiet pioneer. Long before yoga became mainstream, she was teaching with the British Wheel of Yoga, guiding teens and children (including me) in how to breathe, meditate, rest, and shift their state. Her gentle wisdom shaped so much of who I am and how I work today.

When I was 17, my mum took me on my first NLP Practitioner course — and something clicked in me straight away. This is me. I’m home.  It was the beginning of a lifelong path. To witness people becoming free of lifetimes of trauma, limiting beliefs, or childhood pain was profoundly moving — and it still is. I went on to complete my Master Practitioner training with some of the most respected names in the field — Robert Dilts, Tim Halbom and Ian McDermott — and I’ve continued learning and guiding ever since.

My path later led me to train in Generative Trance and Generative Coaching with Stephen Gilligan and Robert Dilts — work that brings together somatic movement, creative consciousness and deep inner transformation. People often think hypnosis means giving up control — but that’s exactly the misconception I work to undo. I don’t do something to my clients. I enter a grounded, creative state, and invite them into their own — beyond the conscious, verbal mind and into the deeper, non-verbal intelligence where I believe our truest self resides.

I have had over a decade of experience running a global branding and design agency with over 100 + team members. This has also given me a whole array of life experience in managing, communicating and sailing the ship as I so call it, through rough and beautiful seas.

Now, I bring all of that — the science and soul, the business, the sport and spirit, the performance and the presence — into my work as a therapist and coach.

Whether you come seeking clarity, connection, healing or performance, we always begin from the same question:

What do you need — truly — to come home to yourself?

Who am I beyond the work?

I’m a bold, loyal, and loving human — calm and fierce in equal measure. I’m driven, dedicated, curious, fun, and always learning. I believe life if a continuous learning and development journey which is why I stay committed to my own development, too. I continuously seek new dimensions to exist in because I believe that the best we have ever felt is the best we have ever known yet, there are many dimensions that live beyond on this, waiting for us to experience.

That's where I come in - helping support you move towards and experience existence somewhere new, maybe somewhere beyond where you have ever lived.

Some of my beliefs:

• Every experience has a gift — if I choose to see it.
• What is meant for me, will find me.
• Where focus goes, my energy flows.
• If there is a will, there is always a way.

What lights me up:

• Sport – Playing, watching, living it. I workout 6x per week.
• Travel – 72 countries and counting. I thrive in environmental variety.
• Nature – Immersing in the elements grounds and restores me.
• Connection – In person, with people, animals, and the living world.
• Challenging norms – I’m here to think differently and support others in doing the same.
• Learning – About the mind, body, nutrition, energy, and everything in between.
• Loving – My circle, this planet, and life itself. My motto: Be kind, be bold yet gentle and... be open.
