Hi, I'm natalya!
I'm a Czech-American vocalist, musician, and storyteller currently located in New York City.
I seek to create art that deepens our connection to meaning, reconciliation, and love.

I grew up in a house full of books and music. My father is a poet, professor, and researcher of forgiveness and genocide. My mother is a musician, psychologist, and servant-leadership coach. From them, I started asking the questions that still guide me: How do words and stories shape our understanding of ourselves? How can we heal and grow through compassion? And how do we hold space for both the light and darkness in our lives?
Originally from Spokane, Washington, I grew up with the river as my sister and the rugged mountains as my steadfast friend. The song of larks and swifts taught me how to listen, how to find and nurture my own voice. Now, in New York City, I am guided by the belief that we are all connected to the wild, untamed forces within: those rivers that run deep and forests that grow within our hearts. Through my work, I strive to help others reconnect to these inner landscapes, fostering a shared journey of growth, resilience, and discovery.
