Mind & Body Coordinator

Natalie Ragland, RN, RYT 200, CPT

Natalie’s integrative mind and body interventions draw from her background in therapeutic yoga, rehabilitative Pilates, mindfulness, meditation, dance, theater, expressive arts, and nursing. Her mind and body groups offer an avenue for the client to re-learn how to listen to their body and respectfully respond to its needs with compassion and without judgment or self-criticism. Through meditation, the volume of one’s mental chatter in turned down allowing a curiosity of emotions and sensations to arise in a safe environment. The eating disorder is viewed as an exhausted protector who is eager, although often reluctant, for a break. It is approached with respect and without shame as its purpose is revealed and alternate coping mechanisms are gained, allowing it to step back. The interventions encourage cultivation of Self-energy so that the hungry and tired body, mind, and heart can mutually rest, restore, and eventually heal. Body neutrality, compassion, and creative exploration are interwoven into her mind and body, body image and equine therapy groups and individual sessions. Natalie received her BSN and BFA from the University of Memphis. She is currently pursuing her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing at The University of Tennessee.

“I have found mind-body integration to be a powerful path to recovery.  It is my mission to share my path of reclaiming joy through movement and mindfulness to the clients at Fairhaven.”
