…beyond just “problem-fixing” to empowering positive change.
We knew there had to be a better way
Even as mental health conversations become more mainstream, there’s still a lingering sense that it’s only something you turn to when things go wrong – a last resort rather than an active, empowered choice. Too often, the approach feels passive, reactive and weighed down by outdated stigma.
Founded by psychologist, psychotherapist and leadership and mental health coach Natalie Schürmann and psychotherapist and addictive behaviours specialist Christophe Cheval, we’re here to make therapy feel more like a conversation and less like a checklist – blending deep listening and curious questions with practical tools that actually fit your life.
Challenging the status quo
For too long, therapy has been boxed in, where labels and diagnoses dictate the path to healing.
We believe in something far more realistic, far more empowering. The traditional “either/or” approach – either passively listening or being told what to do – feels limiting, even outdated.
At Ground to Flow, we’re tearing down those walls.
- We blend deep therapeutic exploration with coaching techniques that drive real, actionable change.
- We go beyond problem-solving to create a safe space where you can truly evolve.
- We adapt our techniques to give you the tailor-made support you need.

Our why: sparking change ripple by ripple
Ground to Flow’s fire is fuelled by two simple truths: connection and transformation.
First, we live for those electric moments in a therapy or coaching session. That flash of insight, the dawning of self-discovery – that’s our heartbeat. It’s the raw, human connection we forge together, a journey where you not only uncover who you really are but who you can become.
Second, we’re driven by the sheer privilege of empowering you to lead your most authentic life. And then, to witness the magic: the ripple effect.
Your transformation doesn’t stop with you. It touches your family, your friends, your community, even the strangers you meet.
We believe that healing and self-understanding aren’t just personal victories – they’re catalysts for a better world. Every individual we empower sends out a wave of positive change, a wave that our world absolutely needs.

Meet ChristopheOur Ground to Flow story
From change comes growth
Ground to Flow wasn’t born in a boardroom – but under the vast Kenyan sky. It was there that Natalie’s first company, Badiliko, was born, inspired by the Swahili word for transformation.
Her time living and working in East Africa was a life-changing moment. It shook her awake, showed her the power of change and left an imprint that demanded to be shared.
So, she named her company Badiliko, after the concept of transformation. Because that’s what life is, isn’t it? A constant, beautiful evolution. We’re not static beings. Hardship, joy, every moment is an opportunity to reinvent ourselves.
Then came Christophe. With his deep expertise in psychotherapy and addictive behaviours treatment, he shared Natalie’s passion for guiding people through life’s challenges. Together, they blended Natalie’s leadership and coaching strengths with Christophe’s therapeutic depth to build something new. In 2025, Badiliko evolved into Ground to Flow – a more expansive, holistic hub for real, lasting personal transformation.
At Ground to Flow, transformation is never one-size-fits-all. It’s a journey that requires both insight and action, reflection and movement. That’s what Ground to Flow is about. A space where growth happens, resilience flourishes and change isn’t just possible – it’s inevitable.
Our unique approach: personalised therapy
What truly sets us apart, what makes us a unique choice, is our unwavering commitment to personalisation and collaboration. We understand that your journey is entirely your own, and we refuse to offer a “one-size-fits-all” approach. We believe, passionately, that your unique history and needs deserve a tailored path to healing and growth.
We also hold a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of change. We create a safe and nurturing environment where personal evolution can blossom, knowing that even small changes can ripple outwards, at times reshaping the world around us.
We do tailored mental wellbeing differently
We excel at challenging the traditional divide between therapy and coaching. We know from experience that these approaches are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary tools that, when skillfully blended, can yield profound results.
We’ve developed a unique methodology that harmonises these two ways of working, creating a deeper impact and facilitating the change you seek.
Because, at the heart of it all, healing is change. And we are experts in both. Through our years of combined experience and training, we’ve crafted a truly distinctive approach – one that empowers you to embrace your potential and embark on a journey of lasting transformation.
We’re not just providing a service, we are providing a pathway to a better you.
