Natalie Maughan – Youth Group Facilitator
Natalie is a wife to a loving hubby, a mother of two, foster mom of one, and an aunt to thirty six nieces and nephews. Natalie enjoys playing volleyball, reading, quilting, camping, and 4 -wheeling. She loves spending time with her family. She actively participates in her church and strives to be a disciple of Christ.
Natalie grew up feeling loved and encouraged by many. Natalie also felt the pressure of living up to other’s expectations, feeling her worth came from her accomplishments, and striving for perfection. Becoming aware of these misguided beliefs has helped her overcome feelings of shame, loneliness, and not being enough. She has a greater capacity to handle difficult feelings and situations. She is learning to let go of false beliefs and let God teach her who she is. There is more communication, understanding, love and kindness in all of her relationships. Mindfulness has empowered her to use her agency and to find peace and wholeness.
Natalie joined Lifehouse Body and Soul in the beginning in 2021. She has participated in other mindfulness and emotional resilience courses, and studied many books. She has been a formal teacher of youth for over eight years and worked with youth groups for many years prior to this. She enjoys their energy and feels their need to be accepted and loved. Natalie continues to practice daily with these life changing tools learned at Lifehouse. She is excited for others to experience mindfulness and healing for themselves. Natalie invites you to Come As You Are.
