Increasingly well-known in Thailand, Nathalie is a TV Producer, presenter and lifestyle journalist. She was born in New York and brought up in Germany and Switzerland. For over 12 years Nathalie produced and presented her own TV-Show ‘Nathalie’s Lifestyle’ which was aired on Germany’s leading private channels.

She is also known abroad through her TV-Series ‘Nathalie’s Art of Living’ produced in English, and broadcast in over 30 countries.

In 2005 Nathalie started a second career as a hotelier in Thailand. She converted her private residence into a trendy small luxury boutique & lounge hotel on Koh Samui, dedicated to all those who like things intimate and exquisite.
