She became less interested in studying disease progression when she noticed how people say, think and do things that either align or contradict their values and desires. She became fascinated by how belief systems, emotions, unconscious bias and assumptions are powerful drivers of choices, perspectives and behaviour. She's trained in a variety of cognitive, meditative, relationship, healing, coaching and spiritual development approaches that make people aware of what's happening inside them that's influencing their behavioural responses to life and ways to make different choices and actions that improve their lives. Nathalie works with medical and other healthcare professionals to support their wellbeing as an educator, mentor and coach. She speaks about what hinders and helps health professionals' to remain professionally and personally satisfied while fulfilling their desire to serve humanity.Connect with Nathalie:Facebook: www.facebook.com/drnathaliemartinekTwitter: twitter.com/NatsforDocsLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/nathalie-martinek-ph-d-9a015123Instagram: _dr.healerMedium: medium.com/@NatsforDocsWebsite: : www.drnathaliemartinek.com
