Nathalie
 – From Corporate, Loneliness to Purpose,
 – From Grief to Transformation

Growing up in small-town Germany in the 1980s, I often felt like I didn’t quite fit in. As a mixed-race child of divorce, I was without a father figure from the age of three, navigating life in a place that didn’t always make room for someone who was different. This sense of disconnection wasn’t limited to one space - it was present among my family, at school, and even with friends back then. Even in a room full of people, I often felt an undeniable loneliness, a sense of being “other”, of not fully belonging anywhere. But those formative experiences planted the seeds of curiosity and resilience, driving me to seek meaning beyond the life I was born into.

That drive led me on a remarkable journey across the globe. For over 25 years, I thrived in a high-powered career as a CFO in advertising, living and working in some of the world’s most dynamic cities:  Paris, London, Berlin, Geneva, and Los Angeles. Eventually, I made my home in New York, where I’ve lived for over 18 years. New York, with its unstoppable energy and creative soul, shaped me into who I am today. It’s a city that mirrored my ambition, my love for art and innovation, and my deep desire to create something meaningful. Yet, despite my successes, I often felt a disconnect - a gnawing sense that I wasn’t fully living the life my heart truly longed for.

It was Martinique that offered me the balance to New York’s relentless pace. Martinique, with its lush beauty, vibrant culture, and grounding energy, became the place where I could breathe deeply, connect with my heart, and remember the simplicity of being. These two places, so vastly different, are both my homes. Together, they’ve shaped me into the person I am today : a creative soul with a deep understanding of the balance between ambition and stillness, creation and rest, outward success and inner peace.

My journey took another profound turn when I met my twin heart, my one true love. For nearly a decade, we shared not only a deep bond of unconditional love but also a passion for the art world. Together, we worked with artists, supported their missions, and immersed ourselves in the vibrant creativity of major art fairs and exhibitions. That world of beauty, expression, and authenticity became an extension of who I am. June 2024, losing my beloved turned my world upside down. It was the greatest heartbreak I’ve ever faced, forcing me to look inward, confront my pain , merge with it and rediscover myself in the process even more.

Through this transformation, I’ve learned what it means to heal from the inside out. I’ve lived through the loneliness of feeling unseen, the pain of unhealed wounds of “loosing foot”, and the fear of stepping away from the life I thought I was supposed to live. But I’ve also discovered the immense power of turning inward - of connecting with your inner heart, facing the traumas and blockages that hold you back, and embracing the purity of unconditional love. It’s not an easy journey, but it’s the most rewarding one you’ll ever take.

This is why I’ve created my retreats in Martinique. This magical island is more than a destination – it’s a sanctuary that has helped me heal, grow, and transform into the person I am today. It’s a place where you can break free from the pressure, the noise, and the routines that have disconnected you from yourself. Through my retreats, I also offer soul immersion and soul-heart healing sessions, where you can gently and powerfully reconnect with your inner light and life force. Whether it’s through yoga, somatic practices, soul coaching, or simply immersing yourself in Martinique’s breathtaking landscapes, my retreats are designed to help you rediscover your essence, reconnect with your creativity, and heal from the inside out.

I understand what it feels like to face the weight of life’s challenges - career pressures, loosing foot, loneliness, loss, to love unconditionally from all your heart, grief and the fear of stepping into the unknown. But I also know that healing, transformation, and joy are possible. You hold the key to your own life, and my mission is to help you unlock it. Together, we’ll create a space for you to heal, grow, and step into the life you’ve always dreamed of - a life led by your heart, your soul, and your truest self. Martinique awaits, and so does the person you are meant to be.

The Art of Letting Go & Coming Home to Yourself
Facilitator – Holistic Guide – ReflexRelax

I have walked a fascinating path from the scientific rigor of  biology and pharmacology to the soothing depths of holistic therapies, fascinated by how everything functioned—I soon realized that true healing isn’t just about science. Even before I could name it, I carried a deep sensitivity to the unseen, an innate awareness of the energies moving all around us. But everything shifted after a near-death experience—what had always been a quiet knowing became undeniable. This profound moment, combined with my lifelong curiosity and exploration beyond the confines of conventional medicine, led me to create ReflexRelax—a practice that bridges the physical and the unseen, the body and the emotions, helping others release, reset, and return to themselves. For creatives, visionaries, and innovators drained by burnout and overextension, I offer a way to reconnect—not just with the body, but with the deeper truth that has always been within.

At Deux Noix de Coco in Martinique, I offer more than just a pause from the world—I create a space where the answers you never dared to ask begin to unfold. Here, the unspoken weight of old narratives, subconscious fears, and emotional knots gently rise to the surface, inviting transformation in the most natural way. Through a process that feels as effortless as breathing, clarity emerges, long-held tensions dissolve, and a sense of deep inner knowing takes root. Burnout fades, sleep deepens, ideas spark anew. In my care, you are not just another overworked creator—you are someone to be seen, nurtured, and brought back to yourself.

This retreat isn’t about escape—it’s about coming home to a body that moves with ease, a mind that rests in clarity, and a spirit that remembers its own brilliance. Are you ready to let go and reclaim your energy? Let me guide you to a place where relaxation isn’t just a moment—it’s a transformation.

Ingrid:  
The Art of Movement & Reconnection
 – Joy Yoga

I am passionate about the art of movement and self-exploration, where breath and motion become a gateway to deep connection. My journey began with Hatha yoga, then expanded into Vinyasa flow, functional mobility, and Thai massage, allowing me to guide you in reclaiming your body through fluidity and breath. For me, yoga is more than a practice—it is a way to find balance, presence, and freedom.

At Deux Noix de Coco in Martinique, I invite you to experience yoga as a moving meditation, where breath leads the body into harmony. Mornings begin with flows that awaken energy, while my Thai massage sessions offer a space for deep release—what we call a “sacred dance” of healing. Whether on the mat or through intuitive touch, I help you soften into yourself, dissolve tension, and rediscover your natural rhythm.

Let’s breathe, move, and realign together. Join me in Martinique and reconnect with the artist within—you, in your most liberated form.
