Natalie was raised by Appalachian rivers and mountains on her grandfather’s beef cattle farm in Virginia. She graduated from Virginia Tech in 2005, and from that point on she’s had the joy and pleasure of making biodynamic preparations with people from all over the continent, including a stint at the Josephine Porter Institute with Hugh Courtney. In 2014, Natalie received her Waldorf Teaching and Curative Educator Certificates and has worked with a variety of Waldorf schools in California and Virginia. When she co-operated a Biodynamic education and prep-making business in California, she most enjoyed supporting Waldorf schools with spray initiatives on festival days. She has further worked to uphold Biodynamic integrity and community through certification work with Demeter since 2021.
Natalie loves playing with her two children, wildcrafting, art, music, gardening - and swirls her coffee clockwise and counterclockwise.
