Dream Big.

Play All Out.

Life is not a spectator sport.

Your life isn’t a spectator sport.

You’re capable of far more than you think—when you shift the story, reconnect to what matters, and take action from that place.

I’m Natasia Schumacher.
Transformation coach. Emotional intelligence practitioner. Personal trainer.
Founder of Shift & Play—a method that blends mindset, heart, and movement to help you build real confidence in every area of your life.

I work with people in motion—or on the edge of it.
Transitions. Pivots. Big decisions.
Whether it’s career, relationships, identity, or purpose—something is shifting. Or it needs to.

My coaching helps you stop outsourcing your power and start leading your life with intention.
Not the kind of confidence that just looks good—but the kind that holds when things get hard.

We don’t just talk about change.
We move through it.

Are you ready to transform your life with Shift & Play?

  • 1:1 Coaching
    For individuals navigating transition, seeking clarity, and ready to build real confidence.
    Personalized support to help you move through blocks, reconnect to what matters, and lead your life with intention.

    This work helps you:

    • Build confidence you can feel - not just fake

    • Navigate transitions with clarity, not chaos

    • Step out of stuck patterns and into conscious choice

    • Take action from your values, not your fears

    • Create the life you REALLY want

  • SHIFT isn’t just a mindset tool—it’s a movement.

    This 5-session transformation coaching program is for people who are stuck in old patterns, navigating major transitions, or feeling disconnected from their power - and ready to shift.

    Whether you're:

    • Sitting on the edge of a big decision

    • Struggling with self-doubt or burnout

    • Craving more alignment between who you are and how you're living

    • Tired of the same loops in your relationships, work, or self-talk

    The SHIFT Program helps you:

    • Identify the story keeping you stuck

    • Take radical responsibility for your role in it

    • Clarify your deeper intention

    • Take aligned action that builds trust, momentum, and change

    • Lead yourself with clarity, compassion, and grounded confidence

    By session five, this won’t just be insight—it’ll be integration.
    You’ll leave with a real-time tool you can reach for when life gets messy and the muscle memory to use it.

    This is for you if you're ready to:

    • Move from reaction to intention

    • Step into your power

    • Finally create the life you’re meant to live

    SHIFT isn’t about becoming someone new.
    It’s about coming home to who you’ve always been.

  • Not your average personal training.
    This is for the human who wants to feel strong, alive, and grounded in their body - while also working through mental and emotional blocks.
    Yes, we’ll lift weights. But we’ll also lift the stories that are holding you back.

    Outcome: A stronger body. A clearer mind. A deeper connection to self.

  • SHIFT Talk – The Courage to Take Radical Responsibility

    This keynote is for teams, leaders, and humans under pressure—those who are tired of reacting and ready to lead from intention.

    With a mix of lived experience, emotional intelligence, and practical tools, this talk inspires people to:

    • Recognize when they’re stuck in unhelpful stories

    • Take radical responsibility without shame or blame

    • Lead themselves through pressure and change

    • Reconnect to clarity, choice, and purpose

    This isn’t just motivational.
    It’s a wake-up call—with tools.

  • After leaving a decade-long job and the identity it gave me, I realized hope and luck wouldn’t be enough to navigate my career transition. Natasia helped me clarify what was essential to carry forward and what was holding me back. She equipped me with practical tools to reinforce my value, even in uncertain moments. Over several months, we mapped out goals, growth strategies, and mindset shifts to keep me focused and present. Her approach isn’t one-size-fits-all , she listens, challenges, and adapts in real time, making each session deeply relevant and impactful.

  • My partnership with Natasia has allowed me to move toward a future that aligns with my true self. Her empathy, professionalism and integrity offer a safe space to work on yourself. In only a few sessions of coaching, I went from being disconnected, feeling stuck and full of self-doubt to feeling empowered and to be able to see a clear path for where I want to be. These coaching sessions were the best gift I could have given myself.

  • “Natasia is great. Having worked along side her in the past, I can say that she's been a coach well before founding Shift&Play. Naturally empathetic, she has the ability to make you self-aware and help guide you towards the outcome you seek. I would recommend taking the leap with Natasia- to help tweak, troubleshoot and fix any and all facets of life that need improvement.”

    Paul Aton
    VFX Producer

  • "Natasia organized an experiential goal-setting workshop for our members. The rave reviews have been astounding. We have never experienced such positivity after hosting a workshop. Thank you for inspiring and motivating everyone!"

  • I started training with Natasia because I wanted to get stronger and improve my form and muscle tone with weightlifting as I hit my mid-40s. I've been doing weekly sessions and sometimes attending Natasia's wonderful group class on Saturdays for about six months now. In both of these settings, Natasia pushes me to do things I didn't think I could and motivates me to 'show up for myself.' I have learned a lot about my body, and I see a lot of improvement: better energy levels, more stamina, more confidence, a better sense of my capabilities...Natasia's classes and training have really helped me to think about my goals and to find a healthy and positive relationship with my body as I age. I'm so happy that I found Natasia, and I'm psyched to continue working with Natasia to see what more I am capable of.

    Katherine Zien
    Associate Professor

  • " Natasia's coaching opened doors that I knew were there, but I didn't know how to open.She possesses the skill to guide you to those places in a clear and honest manner. It helped me dive deep within to recognize my weaknesses and strengths and I felt safe to explore those areas with her. My only regret is not having done it sooner."

    Leonardo Perez-Sosa
    Senior Financial Analyst

  • Working with Natasia in both a personal training and coaching capacity has changed my life. The goals during our time together were weight loss, building strength, and developing self-confidence. I have been amazed at the improvements I have seen in only 3 months working together, including losing over 20 pounds, achieving identified strength goals, and showing up for myself in a way that I didn’t think was possible both professionally and personally. Natasia will motivate you, support you, and tangibly measure your progress to celebrate your achievements along the way. I highly recommend Natasia to anyone who is looking for a champion to help improve their body and mind!

  • "J'ai adoré mon expérience avec Natasia, elle a été très présente dans son écoute et a saisie bien l'expérience que j'ai vécu. Elle a su reconnaitre l'intension derrière mes partages et bien cibler mes besoins. Elle sait bien nous soutenir pour que l'on puisse trouver ce qui coince ou ne fonctionne pas aussi bien que l'on aimerait dans notre vie. Natasia a bien su me guider à travers mes pensés, mes incertitudes, mes doutes, mes peurs et m'a permis d'obtenir des résultats bien au delà de mes attentes ."

  • Shift&Play is an elixir of youth. Natasia will know how to administer it to you. Throughout this process, the most remarkable thing is that she never let go of me, believed in me for two, and saw the potential I no longer saw. My two sessions a week

    Shift & Play is an elixir of youth. Natasia will know how to administer it to you. Throughout this process, the most remarkable thing is that she never let go of me, believed in me for two, and saw the potential I no longer saw. My two sessions a week became essential. The energy returned, and I finally regained control over myself after 20 years! To top it off I achieved my goals at 50 years old : +4.3% in muscle and -10 pounds in 6 months!

  • Working with Natasia has enhanced my self-awareness and growth. We tackled challenging moments together, and I gained practical tools to use. Since our sessions, I've grown more confident in who I am and know what it means to show up as the best version of myself . She always provides a safe space to explore thoughts and emotions. There are some moments where she digs deep which can feel uncomfortable but stick with the process because once you get to the core you will discover something magical within yourself!

  • I started working with Natasia while I was moving through a difficult transition period, and wanted to address old blocks that have continuously come up in my life. Although I had done therapy consistently over the years, I was looking for more accessible, applicable tools. I am so overjoyed that I took that chance on coaching with Natasia. She has a true gift for revealing the deeper voice within that is sometimes so hard to hear. During and since our sessions together, much has shifted both internally and externally in my life. I feel more empowered, playful, and creative. I am more in touch with what I truly want, and have many simple tools for navigating the challenges as they come. I would love for more people to have this beautiful experience of inner reflection and growth

  • I chose to work with Natasia because I was looking for someone who could not only guide me through effective workouts but also support me in navigating around my injuries. She has a way of shifting the energy in the room—making you feel capable, motivated, and strong, no matter how your day started. She tailored each session to my needs, always positive and encouraging. Thanks to her, I’ve regained strength and confidence in my body. Coach Natasia is a gem, and I’m so grateful for the impact she’s had on my journey.

  • Merci Natasia pour ma transformation !! Quand j’ai commencé, je voulais juste « me remettre en forme ». Je ne savais pas encore que j’allais enclencher bien plus qu’un simple entraînement : une vraie transformation. Les premières semaines ? Transpiration, courbatures… et un mental encore un peu timide. Mais tu étais là, à me pousser, à croire en moi, même quand moi je doutais. Et un jour, sans prévenir, le déclic : plus d’énergie, un corps qui répond, des vêtements que je pensais oubliés et qui me vont à nouveau, et surtout… la découverte de mes super pouvoirs 💪 Grâce à toi, j’ai compris que j’étais capable. Dans le sport, mais aussi dans ma vie pro et perso. Tu m’as appris à ne rien lâcher, à me dépasser, à aller chercher cette version de moi-même que je ne soupçonnais pas.
