ABOUT NATALIA

I am a resilience & attraction coach. I guide people through their process of discovering and developing their power to create the reality they desire, transforming difficulties into opportunities for growth.

 

Since 2025, I am the founder of CRESCENGROW, an initiative that aims to promote attraction as a resource to develop resilience. Through individual sessions, group sessions, and workshops, I facilitate spaces where you can explore your own reality and transform it, recognizing that you have the capacity to create wellbeing even in the midst of difficulties.

 

I was born in Bogotá, Colombia. At 18, I moved to Vienna. I completed my studies at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, graduating summa cum laude in 2012 and receiving the Award for Academic Excellence from the mdw. That same year, I founded the Max Steiner Orchestra, Austria's first symphonic orchestra dedicated to film and video game music. The project gained international reach and received an invitation to the Cannes Film Festival in 2013. 

 

Through the Max Steiner Orchestra and collaborations with creative producer Sandra Tomek, I have worked with artists such as Hans Zimmer, Anna Netrebko, Alexandre Desplat, David Newman, Danny Elfman, James Horner, and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

 

In 2018, I completed a Master's degree in Project Management at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. In 2022, I obtained an academic certificate in Spirituality in Psychosocial Professions from Sigmund Freud University. 

 

Since 2023, I work as a lecturer at the University of Music and Performing Arts MUK Vienna, where I guide students in film and commercial music. I am also a board member of Female Leaders Network at WU Executive Academy and the International Women's Network in Austria (NIWA).
