The conversation about money nobody taught you to have – that’s where I come in.
Most of us were never taught how to think about money. We were taught how to earn it, spend it, save it. But the beliefs running silently underneath – the ones that make us undercharge, over-apologise, hesitate when we should act – those were never addressed.
That gap is what I’ve spent my career closing.
Who am I?
I’m Natasha Mahtani – Money Mindset Mentor and Financial Educator based in Dubai, working with individuals and organisations across the Middle East, UK and beyond.
My work sits at the intersection of psychology and finance. I help people understand not just what to do with their money, but why they do what they do – and how changing that changes everything.
I am currently writing my first book on money mindset.
How I Got Here?
My career began in the world of high finance. I worked at Goldman Sachs and with JP Morgan as a client – two environments where I watched brilliant, capable people make decisions driven not by logic but by fear, ego, cultural conditioning and deeply held beliefs about what they deserved.
I also hold a PGCE from UCL and have spent over a decade in education and coaching – supporting women through some of the most financially and emotionally defining moments of their lives: divorce, reinvention, building independence from the ground up.
What those two worlds taught me is the same thing:
The numbers are rarely the problem. The mindset always is.
What I Do?
I work with women who are ready to take their financial future seriously – through Her Portfolio, my cohort-based investing programme, and through courses, workshops and 1:1 coaching that make money feel less overwhelming and more within reach.
I also work with organisations. Through corporate keynotes and money mindset workshops, I bring this conversation into the boardroom – helping teams and leaders understand how financial beliefs shape the way they negotiate, decide and lead.
Having lived and worked across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, I bring a deep understanding of the cultural layers that shape our relationship with money – particularly within South Asian, Middle Eastern and multicultural professional environments.
My Approach
I don’t believe in financial advice that ignores the human being receiving it.
Every money decision is an emotional one first. So my work blends practical financial education with mindset coaching — giving you both the tools and the inner shift needed to actually use them.
