About
The People Behind the Practice
Founder & Teacher
Nathalie Babazadeh, L.Ac.
Healing has been the thread through everything — growing up in a family of physicians and artists, competing as a state champion athlete, studying medical anthropology at UC Berkeley, then training in Chinese medicine at Meiji College.
For 18 years, the clinic was home. Thousands of healing sessions in the San Francisco Bay Area, studying under three beloved teachers — Angeles Arrien, Master Chunyi Lin, and Don Victor de Estrada. What they taught me, and what the body keeps teaching me, is that healing happens in layers we can't always see.
That's why 9 Gates Meditation and Way of the Healer exist. The most profound healing happens where ancient wisdom meets modern science. Energy medicine used to be available only to shamans and master healers. Now, it is accessible to all of us.
Today, the work has expanded into regenerative medicine — serving as a holistic health guide and working directly with a world-renowned stem cell treatment center. The experiments still start with my own body before they become recommendations.
What brings the most joy is watching others realize their own natural gifts — healers, artists, writers, leaders finding their way into lives that feel genuinely meaningful.
Also: co-founder of Artemis Therapeutics (practitioner-formulated longevity botanicals). Proud mom of two. When not teaching — swimming in natural waters, sitting in the garden, or singing my heart out at the piano.
Co-founder & Teacher
Kacey Moe, MS
Kacey grew up with a natural fascination for the world around her — camping, building forts out of branches, staring at starry night skies.
She earned a BS in Kinesiology and a Masters in Holistic Nutrition, then spent nearly a decade teaching in Waldorf early childhood programs. She's also trained as a birth doula, Reiki II practitioner, and yoga instructor.
Kacey brings her understanding of the body, movement, and early development to the programs at REN School. She and Nathalie partner on programs for women — combining nutrition science, consciousness practice, and the kind of practical wisdom that comes from raising children while studying how the body actually works.
Our Mission
REN School of Consciousness exists to make the most profound healing arts accessible to everyone. We believe that ancient wisdom and modern science are converging — and that the people who learn to work at this intersection will lead the next era of medicine, creativity, and what it means to live well.
