Who I Am

I’m Natalia, a producer, teacher, and creator of sensory experiences. My path weaves together science, perception, words, and human connection. I have dedicated my life to exploring how wine and sensoriality teach us to inhabit the world with more depth and curiosity.

I have renounced many worlds, and systems I stand against. My way of working is also my way of inhabiting the world—guided by principles I respect and that sustain my creativity in integrity.

My personal story, somatic training, and years of personal work have given me tools to understand my boundaries, discern my biases, and name my needs. I don’t fit into systems that operate through ambiguity: I choose to build and sustain spaces where strangeness, vulnerability, and authenticity are understood and celebrated.

My Values

• Consent: cultivating curiosity before acting or assuming.
• Personal accountability: the ability to own and account for one’s actions, decisions, and results.
• Authenticity and clarity: truth over ambiguity.
• Critical thinking and openness to change with new evidence.
• Humility and realism: recognizing limits and available energy.
• Safety in “no”: the ability to receive boundaries with regulation and curiosity.
• Ego flexibility: in a team, the shared mission matters more than being right.
• Repair and acknowledgment: authentic recognition allow trust to be restored and work to continue.
• Secure attachment and interdependence: “I’m ok, you’re ok.”
• Radical inclusion: neurodivergence, cultural diversity, and queerness.
• Celebrating difference: authenticity with responsibility and self-awareness, as a source of expansion.
• Sensoriality: the body and the senses as a foundation of knowledge.

What I Need

• Collaborators who enjoy and are compatible with my creative processes.
• Approaching projects in clear and digestible missions, not avalanches.
• Compatibility in boundaries: recognizing shared thresholds, avoiding forcing unsustainable connections.
• Relationships based on consensus and clarity.
• Safe spaces to name needs, blocks, and fears.
• People who also make their needs visible so we can design the path together.
• Teams that value conflict resolution and repair.
• A collaboration guided by reality and shared curiosity.
• Freedom to choose with whom, and in which problems, I want to get involved.
• Building narratives of our collaborations that allow us to share our work with the world in ways that feel comfortable, authentic, true, and inhabitable.
• Respect for agreements: honoring the time invested in finding common ground, and naming obstacles so both sides can sustain clarity and execution.

What I Offer

• Passion and clarity to ground ideas into viable projects.
• Creativity and sensory perspective to translate complexity into meaningful experiences.
• Critical thinking to detect biases and dysfunctional dynamics.
• Commitment to care and mutual expansion.
• Joy, humor, and authenticity: embracing the rare and the profound.
• International and multidisciplinary experience in science, wine, education, and human connection.

My Vision

I choose to inhabit a world where:

• Who we are is already enough and celebrated.
• Consent guides every interaction.
• Mutual expansion is the essence of learning and collaboration.
• Authenticity is the healthiest way to live and to work.
• There is value in what brings safety, even if small or very specific.
• What we are together has the potential to be fertile ground for us both.

This professional identity map arises from my life story and the processes that have shaped me. It is my way of introducing myself to those who may wish to collaborate with me—partners, colleagues, students, or fellow travelers. Here I share my principles of collaboration and, above all, my invitation to create together from a space that allows each of us to sustain our authenticity and creative integrity. I hope we can make incredible things happen together.
