Meet Natalie

Natalie Hoerner is a passionately driven Happiness Coach and founder of Gifts of Gratitude. Utilizing her vast experience in Positive Psychology, she guides her clients on their journey to happier, more meaningful lives.

Natalie is certified in Positive Psychology and Positive Psychology Coaching by the Wholebeing Institute where she studied with noted professor Tal Ben-Shahar Ph.D. Through this program, Natalie became licensed in facilitating the Inspire Your Ideal workshop. She has also received training at the Sedona Women’s Institute to facilitate workshops and retreats for women.

As the founder of Gifts of Gratitude, Natalie inspires her clients by authentically sharing her story. As wife, mom, and software programmer, on the surface, she had all that people aspire to, but she was hiding the fact that she was unhappy. It wasn’t until she began a deliberate practice of gratitude and Positive Psychology that Natalie found a place of joy in her life. 

Through Gifts of Gratitude, Natalie empowers her clients to find true inner happiness. Her goal is to serve as a beacon of light, love, hope, and peace in the world.
