She studied at the Medical Institute for Women ( Russian Санкт-Петербургский женский медицинский институт ) in Saint Petersburg and was there, like her future husband Issaak Masepa , from 1907 an active member of the Revolutionary Socialist Party (USDRP / Ukrainian Workers' Party).

In 1915 the Masepa family moved to Yekaterinoslav , today's Dnipro, where Natalija worked as a private doctor and stayed there when her husband was in high political offices in the Ukrainian People's Republic . After the Bolsheviks took power in Yekaterinoslav in 1919, she lived in Feodosiya in the Crimea and in Donbas until the spring of 1921 and then returned to Yekaterinoslav, where she worked as a bacteriologist.

In autumn 1921, she and her family fled across the Soviet-Polish border to Lviv in the emerging Second Polish Republic, and from there in 1923 moved to Prague in Czechoslovakia . There she worked as a professor at the Ukrainian Technical and Economic Institute until 1944 . She also published a textbook in Ukrainian and published articles on bacteriology in Czechoslovakian journals.
