Hmmmm, anything tapas-like

Julia Roberts, unpretentious yet colourfully dramatic and overly bubbly.
If you had to describe yourself as a sandwich filling… what would you be?
A dagwood sandwich filling….multilayered with a hint of surprise at every bite, yet always threatening to topple should you not handle with care lol
Right – now is the chance to tell us all about your business/website/blog if you have one (or more of course). Go for your life!
My mum refers to me as ‘Jack of all trades, Master of none’. Those words truly reflect me . I am Natasha, a South African/Canadian MD, and now global trotter.
As a MD, I take care of the unhealthy, the healthy and everyone in between. A former Family Medicine physician with 10 years of experience in Canada, I now work part-time as a global locum doctor in areas that interest me. Doctors without boarders is yet to be added to this lifestyle.
As a Coach, I empower, motivate and guide those people who require a gentle nudge. Yes a gentle nudge because everyone has what it takes to meet their goals or dreams. I believe that, clarity and a willingness to make the necessary changes are key ingredients to achieve anything in life. Yes anything!
