Meet our Expert Consultants

Expertise is easy to find; genuine care is a rarity.

At Courage Creatives, our consultants don't just bring decades of hands-on experience—they bring a profound commitment to the human beings they are called to serve.

After all, most effective systems are those built with people's needs at the center.

FOR INDIVIDUALS:
Structure is the highest form of self-care. We help high-performers bridge the gap between 'doing it all' and 'doing it well.' Our lead consultants bring empathy to hear your needs and the skills to guide you towards a more organized lifestyle.

FOR TEAMS:
You can’t innovate from a place of exhaustion. We help teams transition from 'survival mode' to a sustainable flow by building structures that respect human capacity. Our lead consultants audit your workflows to remove the friction that causes burnout, restoring both your team’s morale and their momentum. Because the best systems don't just drive results—they protect people.

Hi, I'm Natalie!

I’ve always been inspired by the high-velocity energy of Hong Kong—the city where I grew up and learned what it truly means to be driven. That environment taught me that while ambition is a powerful engine, it requires a world-class system to sustain it. Drawing on my clinical background for precision, my role here is focused on proactive coaching: designing practical structures and workflows that protect your energy so you can stay at your peak.

As the new Lead Consultant & Mental Health Summit Co-Chair for Courage Creatives, I am passionate about helping you clarify goals by reconnecting them with your core values and underlying motivations. Whether I am assessing your team’s operating rhythm or streamlining your personal day, my focus is on translating your internal insights into purposeful action and values-aligned performance. The ultimate goal is not simply efficiency, but a sustainable state of balance, where both you and your organization can shift from reactive firefighting to meaningful engagement, achieving consistent high-level outcomes without the cost of burnout.

Say Hi!

Natalie Chan

Natalie is a trilingual clinician (English, Cantonese, Mandarin) originally from Hong Kong, China, with a career rooted in advancing recovery and mental wellness across diverse communities. In 2024, she earned her master’s degree in Couple and Marriage Therapy from the UNLV Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine, received the Clinical Practice Award, and was selected as the student speaker for Winter Commencement.

Her work lives at the intersection of culture, language, and mental health, with a deep commitment to culturally responsive, linguistically competent care – particularly for Chinese American communities.

Guided by a mission-driven philosophy, Natalie co-created the Global Ambassador Program with campus leaders at UNLV to support international students’ cultural adjustment and other adaptation needs. In parallel, she serves as an interpreter and victim advocate, providing assistance to law enforcement and extending her impact into system-level care.
