“Natalie is sensitive, thoughtful, patient and committed to the work, thereby allowing an actor (novice or professional) to explore and grow into newfound territory. Natalie will enable you to achieve beyond where you ever truly believed you would go.”  …Brad Furman, Director/Writer: “The Infiltrator”, “The Lincoln Lawyer”
