Rev. Dr. Natalia is the founder of One Voice Central, a vibrant evolution of her beloved One Voice Studio, where she has united voice, spirit, and sacred celebration through music and interfaith service for over 40 years.

 

In 2024, she earned her Doctorate in Divinity in Interfaith Music Studies from All Faiths Seminary International following the completion of her Master of Divinity in 2021. Her scholarly work explored healing through music, from mystical traditions to Broadway and Indigenous sounds.

 

Eight years ago, Rev. Dr. Natalia took a sacred pause from her professional work to embrace what her beloved teacher, Rabbi Joseph Gelberman founder of The New Seminary and All Faiths Seminary International), called The Eleventh Commandment: “Thou Shalt Have Purpose.” That purpose came in the form of her awe-some-tistic grandson, Nicky Mario, who has been her guiding star and greatest spiritual teacher through these precious years.

 

Now, with open arms and a full heart, Rev. Dr. Natalia is returning to the world stage—offering:

• Vocal Coaching with the Vintage Vocal Coach herself

•  Wedding Ceremonies – Interfaith, bilingual, trilingual – at her chapel or any location

• Music Therapy classes for mixed neurodiverse populations, centered in rhythm, song, and healing

 

Rev. Natalia brings over 40 years of music teaching and performance experience to her ministry. With a B.A. in Spanish/Music from Rhode Island College ('74) and an M.M. from New England Conservatory ('78), she has taught in public schools in Massachusetts and on the faculties of Dean College and Roger Williams University. She is a founding emeritus member of RI-NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing), and has served her native Portuguese community as director of Coral Herança Portuguesa.

 

Past musical credits include the bands Amaretta (international favorites, jazz, and show tunes) and Brazill 99 ('60s Bossa Nova). She has also served as musical director for the Centers for Spiritual Living Conference of the Americas in Lake Chapala, Mexico.

 

A devoted Toltec Wisdom Teacher, spiritual pilgrim to Teotihuacan, and student of A Course in Miracles since 1981, Rev. Dr. Nataalia's teachings are grounded in love, healing, and the soul's creative expression. She is currently an active member of ANTN (Affiliated New Thought Network) and serves on the Advisory Board of the New Light Temple NYC.

​

Her life and work continue to honor all who pass through her doors, past and present.

 

And so it is.
