I'm a mental health and wellbeing practitioner, human-centered designer, and the founder of Studio P.
I work at the intersection of embodied practice and systems thinking, because healing happens at both the individual and the structural level.
Hi, i’m Natalia.
At Studio P, I develop my own mindfulness-based programs – grounded in body awareness, folk wisdom, and the kind of knowledge that comes from living through real things. I test ideas with real people before scaling them anywhere.
At the organizational level, I partner with institutions and NGO’s to design people-centered MHPSS systems, programs, and services. This means embedding human-centered design into how organizations think about mental health: who it reaches, how it's structured, and whether it actually fits the lives of the people it's meant to serve.
My work is rooted in Ukraine — in the specific, difficult, generative context of a society navigating full-scale war. That context has sharpened everything I know about what psychological support needs to be.
What shapes my practice
I believe hardship can become a turning point – and that it's time we shift the conversation from trauma and disorder toward growth and possibility.
Post-traumatic growth is not an exception. It is what becomes possible when systems are built around people, not the other way around. That is what I do in my own programs. And it is what I help organizations build.
Human connection is power.
But connection starts inside. Mindfulness is how we build nervous system literacy — the ability to notice your inner states with curiosity instead of judgment. When people develop that awareness, they stop fighting themselves.
And when you stop fighting yourself, you become available — to others, to your community, to real change.
That is what my wellbeing programs are built to do. You can explore my work at the Studio P page.
Multidisciplinary by design.
My formal background spans education, applied psychology, mindfulness, children's yoga, and educational neuroscience — with training in trauma-sensitive approaches, social-emotional learning, and MHPSS principles grounded in the IASC framework.
The knowledge is real. But so is my ADHD. I think differently — and I've always known that's where my power is. A neurodiverse mind that moves fluidly across disciplines, follows the work wherever it leads. That's the design.
How can i help
I work with organizations and institutions at the level that fits the moment — designing systems, or building the human capacity inside them. Sometimes both at once.
start the conversation
System level
Facilitation, co-creation, and consulting — to design people-centered MHPSS programs, services, and systems grounded in human-centered design, the IASC framework, and Ukraine's national MHPSS target model*
*Developed within the All-Ukrainian Mental Health Program "How are You?" — an initiative of First Lady Olena Zelenska.
People level
Trainings and workshops in mindfulness, nervous system literacy, and self-compassion — practical tools that help people understand their own states, build regulation skills, and relate to themselves and others with more awareness.
For teams, educators, and anyone working close to people in hard circumstances.
