Those who know her would agree that the best word to describe Natalie is
PASSIONATE.
Transplanted in Portland two years ago, Natalie hails from New York City where she was one of the most coveted trainers and running coaches. Her enthusiasm is fueled by her desire to
make fitness an enjoyable part of her clients' daily routines. A marathoner and cyclist, her best running efforts are in shorter distances where she has
placed in her age group in races. Over the last several years she has switched gears to rock climbing and mountaineering, and is devouring all that the
Pacific Northwest has to offer.
She apprenticed as Head Assistant Coach for The Running Center, NYC's only facility for runners, and previously worked as Personal Trainer
for Focus Integrated Fitness. On the weekends she guided for Outdoor Bound's
many adventure trips out of the city, and worked as Associate Trainer for the American
Museum of Natural History's winter fitness walking program.
In a former life Natalie wrote about architecture as Marketing Director for some of the hottest firms in New York City, and served for four years on the Board of Directors
of her professional association, The Society for Marketing Professional Services. In between training, she is now excited to work as Marketing Manager for
Alta Planning + Design, the country's leading alternative transportation advocacy and professional services firm (think bike/pedestrian paths and recreational space planning).
The position complements her mission to educate people about the ease of a healthy daily routine built upon small choices that add up to big benefits.
Natalie speaks Japanese, eats rocks for breakfast, and believes that anything can be accomplished if you have enough guts to work for it.
