Natina was born and raised in San Jose, Ca and after experiencing some childhood trauma she found comfort and control in a world of sports and athletics. She grew up playing soccer, and running track and cross country. Natina found a sense of freedom in fitness and eventually even joined the Marines, serving for five years.

Natina now lives in South Carolina with her husband and three sons and continues to crave fitness to help keep her grounded. While the world was entering an unknown chaos back in March of this year, Natina was faced with a fear even more personal, when on March 6th she was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer.

Tune is to episode 3 of The Good Series from the Behind The Bra podcast as Natina discusses navigating her diagnosis and her treatment during a global pandemic and how she was able to find so much GOOD around her this year: including learning the importance of self care and how love might just be the greatest gift received.
