Hello, I’m Natacha Wauquiez, founder of Nature Connexion. Originally from France, I’ve called South Africa home for the past 20 years. As a child growing up in France, I was passionate about animals, the African wilderness, and ethology – the study of animal behaviour. This scientific interest eventually led me to explore human psychology and personal development.
There is no beauty quite like the soul of Africa ! Over the years, my fascination with the continent grew until I finally decided to follow my heart. I packed a suitcase and flew to South Africa; I’ve never looked back.
I have passionately immersed myself in the vibrant world of tourism and hospitality, amassing experience in lodge management and tour guiding throughout the breathtaking landscapes of South Africa, and travelled the continent.
Nothing equals an African sunset!
In addition to my tourism expertise, I am also an Energy Psychology practitioner and a TRE® provider. Over the past 15 years, I’ve trained in other modalities and healing techniques too: enneagram, family constellation, breathing techniques, Meta-Health, and psychology. I’ve also assisted trainers and psychologists in their workshops in France and South Africa.
Today, my joy and purpose lies in connecting all these threads together and blending nature, wilderness, personal development and healing into transformative retreats for my clients, creating life-changing experiences in the fabulous treasures of our wilderness parks and reserves.
Witnessing people be simultaneously awed and empowered by Mother Nature is profoundly rewarding ! As a Designer of the Transformational Travel Council, I am proud to be part of the community of transformational travel. At Nature Connexion, we believe that you are the change you want to see in the world.
I understand the importance and practicalities of attention to detail to create safe spaces for participants, especially when it comes to exploring personal growth amid nature. Location is key when choosing accommodation. I have strong relationships with wonderful lodges and hospitality providers in the area. My first-hand experience in hospitality, including previously managing my own guest house in Cape Town, ensures that every detail of your retreat is perfectly curated.
As an empath, combining an organiser’s precision with a vivid imagination, I feel and understand people’s needs and create transcendent spaces and moments that resonate with my clients.
Check out our upcoming retreats, which centre around a true nature connexion combined with personal development, physical activities, eco-psychology, alternative therapies, healing modalities, and more…
