Natalie Lamb has the vision to equip people with the power to change their lives, to teach them to choose purpose, freedom, and love. ‘It’s Your Choice’ to choose beauty or misery; love or hate; being bound or free, but nonetheless you choose. This is her purpose with each word she speaks; she speaks to give life and healing into people’s lives.
Natalie started her coaching business in 2007 called “It’s Your Choice ”. This company offers one-on-one coaching, classes, workshops, and retreats in marriage, parenting, personal and spiritual development. She also has preventive classes and seminars to instruct the public about the most dangerous people. She created Child Predator seminars, which educate adults on the manipulative skills of sexual predators and bring awareness to child sexual abuse as well as cybercrimes and sex trafficking. Natalie also teaches Dangerous Men and Women, teaching others the 8 types of men and women to stay away from. In conjunction, she created a seminar, The Disturbed, to teach the masses about those without conscience or low conscience. She also added a series called The Slavery Effect that highlights the historic beauty and the struggles of being Black in America.
After the death of her mother in 2002, in her need to grieve and heal she realized how ill-equipped we are as a society with grieving. This led her to research the grieving practices of indigenous people as well as receive a certificate in grief counseling. Natalie now holds monthly meetings for grieving hearts. Our tragedies can lead to healing for others.
At the age of 15, she was introduced to what she would finally embrace as her calling; my God-given ability to listen without judgment and offer assistance to help ease others’ pain. She attended California State University, Los Angeles. In 1996, she graduated with her Bachelors of Arts degree in Sociology with an emphasis in Children and Family. She was then certified as a Parent and Personal Development educator. For over 25 years, she has created and taught Parenting, Pre-Marital, and Marriage classes, as well as Personal and Spiritual Development classes. I am a certified Mediator and Family Mediator. Most recently, I have become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and certified in Traumatic Stress as well as certification as a Grief Counselor. She is always looking for opportunities to further expand her scope in how best to continue to provide informed ways in healing and care. She is a wife of 30 years and a mother of two children ages 22 and 14. These two roles are her greatest passion and fulfillment. They have simply made her better.
