Your Healing Playground – Dr. Tina Koopersmith

This Monday on Your Healing Playground Podcast, I’m sitting down with Natalie Kabenjian—pole dancer, sensual movement artist, Erotic Blueprint™ coach, and fellow champion of ALIVENESS. Natalie and I met through our Erotic Blueprints coaching certification and immediately discovered a shared mission: helping humans get out of their heads and back into their bodies—moving beyond judgment, shame, and endless thinking to actually feel and embody life. After leaving an emotionally abusive relationship and navigating profound self-doubt and suicidal thoughts, Natalie found her way back to herself through movement, sensuality, dance, and authentic expression. Today she helps others reconnect with their Eros—their life-force energy—discover their needs, wants, desires, YESes and NOs, and find the courage to voice them. We’ll talk about pole dancing, pleasure languages, boundaries, celebrating mistakes, trying things we might not be good at, and what becomes possible when we stop performing life and start FEELING it. Because aliveness isn’t something you think your way into—it’s something you embody.

Natalie Kabenjian (aka the Dragon Queen and MAD Mage of Mischief) is a pole artist, embodiment teacher and relational intimacy guide, who has nearly a decade of experience supporting people of various walks of life to inhabit their bodies, becoming more tuned in and turned on to themSelves.

Natalie is the founder of Pole with Soul™️; home to the newly opening Awakened Animal: School of Sensual Sourcery & Embodied Intimacy and the transformational somatic movement brand Freek Flow, where through Pole Dance, Somatic Movement and Erotic Embodiment Practices, she ignites high achieving humans who are stuck and disconnected in their sensuality and sexuality to feeling fully alive and sExpressed within their own skin.

She is considered by her students and colleagues alike to be the ‘whole f*cking package.’; a raw & real permission slip for you to embrace the depths of yourself & your Authentic Aliveness. She is known to be a Magician when it comes to reading the body & helping you access emotions & deeper truths lodged within, unleashing yourself to even bigger self-expression, love & worship.

Natalie is all for arousing you to feel so wet & hard for your life; well-fed, well f*cked, & liberated in your Human Artistry. Aliiiiive in all that makes you, YOU.

For “it’s all here for your Pleasure.”

5 Key Takeaways

Your body is constantly communicating with you. Presence begins by slowing down enough to notice what your body actually needs and feels.
Breath is the doorway back into your body. Connecting with your breath builds presence, safety, and the capacity to experience sensation.
You can expand your capacity to feel. Learning to stay present with anger, sadness, joy, and pleasure allows a greater range of emotional and physical expression.
Movement can challenge perceived limitations. Building presence and trusting the body can reveal abilities and confidence you didn’t know were possible.
Feeling safe in your body creates greater freedom. When you stop shrinking or running from sensation, you can become more fully present in your life, relationships, and experiences.
