With 25 years as an energy practitioner across multiple modalities, Natalia Carlton, PhD brings together deep experiential practice with the rigor of organizational psychology. She holds a PhD in Organizational Psychology and is a Board-Certified Hypnotherapist, Master Reiki Teacher, and Theta DNA Instructor, integrating energy work, consciousness practices, psychology, storytelling, and relational approaches to human and ecological wellbeing. She is also a speaker and contributing author for regional travel and wellbeing publications, exploring the intersections of place, consciousness, culture, leadership, and the Living World.
Her work extends beyond individual practice into larger questions about how humans relate to one another, to place, and to the systems in which they participate. She has presented on subjects including “From Extraction to Restoration: Reimagining Economic Models Through the Lens of Relational Value” and “Beyond Interpretation: Esther Stutzman and the Practice of Presence,” and is a member of the Western Literature Association. Through Symbolic Spaces, she brings these diverse threads together in an evolving practice of psycho-ecological and spiritual inquiry—inviting people to move beyond interpretation toward presence, relationship, reciprocity, and participation.
Natalia also creates and facilitates ceremonies and storytelling experiences for individuals, private groups, event planners, organizations, and hosts. Each experience can be thoughtfully designed around a particular place, gathering, transition, celebration, or intention, weaving together story, symbolism, ritual, reflection, and connection to place. These experiences invite participants to slow down, become present, and encounter familiar landscapes and moments through a deeper symbolic lens.
Ceremonies can be booked for private gatherings, retreats, corporate and organizational events, celebrations, travel experiences, and special occasions. Speaking engagements on the Ascension Project, and traditional energy healing modalities can also be delivered at your location or online.
