My background
You don’t have to trust an unfamiliar name behind a screen. Take some time to get to know me.
My name is Natasha. In my spiritual life, people know me as Mama Satela. You can call me Natasha or Mama Satela, whichever feels more comfortable to you.
I grew up in a family of women who passed spiritual knowledge from one generation to the next. Herbs, cleansing, protection, ancestors and communication with spirits were part of the world around me.
I learned by being there...watching, listening, asking questions and gradually taking on responsibilities of my own. That family knowledge is still with me. It shapes how I work and how I understand the responsibility of being trusted with someone’s personal life.
Later, my path brought me to Haiti and into Haitian Vodou, where I was initiated as a priestess, known as a Manbo. Almost twenty years of my life have now been spent learning, working and serving within that tradition.
My family traditions and Haitian Vodou each have their own place in my life. I draw on that experience when considering a case, while respecting the differences between them.
I grew up within the Central European and Slavic spiritual traditions of my family. For us, this knowledge belonged to everyday life. It was part of caring for our home, looking after one another and remembering the people who came before us.
The women in my family passed down what they had learned from their mothers and grandmothers. Along with the practices came their experience: what had helped, what needed patience, what required care and what was better left alone. As I grew older, I came to understand how much of their lives they were passing on to me.
Our ancestors were part of that family circle, too. In the way I was raised, someone did not stop belonging to the family because they had died. We remembered them, turned to them for guidance and understood that our relationship with them continued. That connection remains at the heart of my life and work.
I began learning by watching and listening. Over time, I learned to look beyond the first explanation and pay attention to the person telling me their story. Two people might come with what sounds like the same problem, yet the circumstances behind it can be completely different. Each deserves the time and attention it takes to understand.
I also learned that working with spirits carries responsibility. Knowing the words or the steps is only part of it. There are relationships to build, boundaries to respect and times when you need to leave something alone. Those lessons stayed with me.
Years later, when my path brought me into Haitian Vodou, I encountered something familiar within a tradition that was new to me: that same closeness between the living and those who came before them. The spirits, language and ways of working were different, and I had much to learn. But the importance of family, ancestors and caring for those who place their trust in you was something I already understood. It gave me a place from which to begin.
When I entered Haitian Vodou, I brought the knowledge of the women in my family with me. It remains a part of who I am. Through initiation and almost twenty years of learning and service, I also built relationships with the spirits of Vodou and learned the responsibilities that come with working with them.
Both traditions have a place in my life. Each has its own spirits, practices and boundaries, and I respect those differences. Sometimes a situation calls for the knowledge passed down through my family. Sometimes it calls for work within Vodou. In other cases, both may contribute, with care and a clear understanding of what belongs where.
That experience helps me look closely at what you bring to me. I want to understand where the difficulty began, the people involved and the spiritual relationships that may need attention. What looks like the same problem on the surface can have a very different story underneath.
From there, I choose the approach, the spirits I work with and the preparation your situation requires. Knowing the steps of a ceremony is only part of that work. Knowing why to choose them, when to approach a spirit and when to leave something alone comes through years of practice and responsibility.
The women who taught me passed on their judgment as well as their knowledge. My years within Vodou have deepened that understanding. I bring both into my work, taking the time to consider your circumstances and explain the approach I believe is appropriate, so you understand what we are doing and why.
A Little of My Life in Pictures
The photographs and videos here come from my own collection. They show moments from my life in Haiti, Europe, the United States and other parts of the Caribbean..the people, places and experiences that have been part of my journey.
These photographs and videos span almost twenty years of my life. You can see me younger, watch me grow older and follow the work, travels and people who have been part of those years. I like sharing that history with you—it gives you a chance to get to know the woman behind these words.

Why People Call Me Mama
People call me Mama because I listen and care about what they are going through. For me, that name carries affection and responsibility. When someone trusts me with something close to their heart, I take it seriously.
You can talk to me honestly, even when the situation is complicated or difficult to explain. You can ask questions, tell me what worries you and say when you haven’t understood something. We can take the time to talk it through.
That care continues throughout the work. I want to hear how you are getting on and what has been happening since we last spoke. The details of your life matter beyond the first conversation.
If you would like to write, tell me what brought you here. Start wherever feels comfortable. What you share with me is treated with care and discretion.
You don’t have to know exactly what to ask or where to begin. Tell me what has been happening and what brought you here. We can talk it through, and I’ll ask if there’s something I need to understand better.
I’ll listen and ask questions so I can understand your situation.
I want you to feel comfortable talking to me, the way you would with an old friend. There’s no rush, and you don’t have to worry about being judged. Tell me in your own words, even if the story is complicated or some parts are difficult to share. I’m here to listen and help you make sense of what comes next.
The details matter. The more I understand about what happened, the people involved and what you want to change, the more precisely I can determine what work is appropriate for your situation. What you share with me stays private.
