You're a high achieving dentist, managing a lot of different roles. You're great at taking care of other people, yet somewhere along the lines of finishing school and going into practice, you've become an expert at taking care of people and have totally neglected your own needs - barely getting a minute to yourself after a long day of dentistry.  You're here because you're ready to be done with the overwhelm and hamster wheel that is making you feel stuck. You're ready to find peace and balance. And you're ready to finally enjoy the life you've worked so hard to create!  Dr. Natanya is an endodontist turned life coach for dentists and she's on a mission to help you live with more intention in and out of the operatory!
