About

Natalie Wasinger, Arizona licensed fiduciary #20706, has been working in aging and adult services since 2011. She graduated from ASU in 2012 with a Master’s degree in Public Administration (MPA) with an emphasis in social work. Since then she has worked as a fiduciary in guardianship services for both public and private organizations.  Natalie investigated abuse, neglect and exploitation allegations at Adult Protective Services (APS) and also served as a supervisor to investigators for the same agency. Throughout her career, Natalie has advocated and protected vulnerable clients, specializing in complex cases. Natalie has worked with clients with mental and physical health conditions, and also those with substance abuse and criminal justice involvement. Natalie prides herself on the ability to connect with clients during her face to face meetings in the community.

My Passion

I became involved in meditation around 2010 while attending a student group focused on alternative healing. As I began working in the fiduciary field, the pace was quick and the pressure intense to assist those in need as efficiently as possible. In order to do that, I often neglected my own physical and emotional needs, and I saw my colleagues in the field doing the same. My passion is connecting the practices of mindfulness with the realities of legal guardianship. During my visits with clients, I am present and mindful, utilizing active listening and deescalation techniques to create a meaningful connection. Through ZenGuardianship I support other fiduciaries to work effectively and serve their clients with less stress to both the guardian and client. 

My Goals

My goal is to effectively serve a wide variety of adult guardians throughout Arizona. I believe that quality assessments of the vulnerable population can positively change the outcome of case planning. 

As fiduciaries, we are all under intense time pressure. My goal is to provide high quality, face to face visits to clients in the community, allowing guardians to best utilize their time and energy on other requirements. I believe that by recognizing the need for assistance and hiring ZenGuardianship, guardians can better serve their own clients and family members.
