Hi, i’m natallia smith MBus (Bnkg & Fin), AdvDip FS (FP), BPsych

I am financial adviser, business owner, and someone deeply passionate about supporting women through life’s transitions.

With over 20 years of experience, and a background in psychology, I understand that money decisions are rarely just logical, they’re emotional too.

I’ve worked with women navigating separation, stepping into retirement, receiving inheritances, and starting again in entirely new chapters of life.

What I’ve learned is this:

  • When a woman feels confident about her money, everything changes.

  • She makes clearer decisions.

  • She feels calmer.

  • She moves forward with strength.

That’s the work I care about.

Whether I’m working with a client, speaking at a community event, or presenting at a conference, my focus is always the same:

Helping women feel informed, supported, and in control.

Because true wealth isn’t just about money.

It’s about:

  • Peace of mind

  • Independence

  • Freedom to choose your next chapter

Hi, I’m Lauren Power B.Com (Fin & Econ)

I’m an Associate Adviser at TruWealth Advice with over 20 years of experience in financial planning.

With a background in Finance and Economics, I support clients across superannuation, investments, insurance, and Centrelink. I enjoy turning complex financial concepts into clear, practical guidance — helping you feel more confident and in control of your decisions.

Outside of work, I’m a mum to two energetic boys, so weekends are often spent at sport. When I get the chance, I love visiting family in Echuca or Wonthaggi — wherever the weather is a little warmer.
