“Years of a long commute and hectic work schedules took a toll on our health and weight.

Natasha created a plan that worked with our specific tastes, schedule, lifestyle and goal

of not ‘dieting’ but keeping an even mind about weight loss. We have since lost over 70

pounds as a couple, our energy and feeling of wellness has increased significantly! We

plan to continue to look to Natasha to help us implement more healthful food practices

and educate us to continue to make good decisions.”

For all services:

Before your initial appointment, you will need to fill out the new client questionnaire. Please

click on the link below to download the form. Once completed, and saved, email it back to

Natasha. The form was created as an interactive document that you may fill in by typing.

Point your cursor at the beginning of each line or space and type.

For the Essential Wellness Package Service:

To get a baseline understanding of where your eating habits are today, a food journal of at

least 4 days should be kept. Ideally 2 of the days are weekdays and 2 are weekends to get an

overall idea of a week of eating. There are two options to track your food, one of which is a

simple spreadsheet and the other is a more in depth look at foods you have eaten, and how

you reacted to each food. The latter is recommended for anyone suspicious of food

sensitivities, energy issues, interested in food combining discussions or would just like to try

something new. Click the link below to download the form you want to use, and keep track of

your food choices, quantities and times for at least 4 days.

The food journal should be completed and emailed to Natasha prior to your first appointment.

Payment

Accepting Cash or Checks. Checks can be made payable to “L. Little Food Coaching”.

have the time or knowledge to put together an easy and organized plan on my own, but

toxic foods."

mission statement and philosophy

what is a food coach?

My personal journey with food has led me to love food, love health and love healing with

food. So much so that I have a passion to share nutrition education with others and to make

it easy and accessible. We all deserve to know how to eat more consciously and nutritiously

to provide fuel for the body, mind and spirit.

It started with a Grandmother who owned her own authentic German food restaurant –

making everything from scratch. I learned to prep, cook, run a restaurant and most

importantly, share joy and passion with others who were being fed. It was the birth of my

foodie nature.

When conventional methods could not explain or remedy my own food intolerance to all dairy

products, I sought alternative methods to cure myself. What I found was profound and life

changing – that these so called 'alternative' methods were going back to our traditional ways

of eating and preparing food! More importantly, we have generally lost sight of eating for our

health and eating for digestive wellness.

My research led me to be educated about the human body and it's interaction with food.

Particularly portion control, the importance of clean, organic and natural produce and cultured

foods. Adopting better eating habits, cultured foods, food combining and supplements can

have amazing effects on longevity, mood, and life.

A perfect recipe was written when my 10+ years in the corporate world, passion for food and

desire to build a healthy community were combined. It is a best in class blend for a business

that is built on wholesome and logical core principals that are for the improvement of the

body, community and well being.

Mission Statement

Promote and support a healthy, energetic and gratifying lifestyle by focusing on education

and development of tools to practice wholesome eating habits and food preparation.

Philosophy

L. Little Food Coaching is about more than just avoiding junk food and dieting or counting

points. We are based on the idea that eating should have core values rooted in principals of

traditional eating, when fast food, frozen meals and adulterated foods were not a part of our

culture and everyday lives. We steer away from fad diets, calorie counting, point counting,

tasteless and rigid recipes that make for a frustrating cycle.

We recognize that these are busy times and we have to be realistic about how to live a

healthy lifestyle. Without a guiding hand, it can be a major challenge to properly nourish

ourselves.

We believe that each person is unique in their nutrition needs and deserves to have a plan

and education specifically tailored to them.

What is a Food Coach?

Similar to a professional sport coach, a food coach is there to help with four main points:

! Educate

! Organize

! Inspire and Motivate

! Focus

Educate

A food coach is someone there to help you learn what you need to achieve your goal. Natasha

is well versed in the principals of eating to be well, maintaining weight, and dealing with food

sensitivities. What makes her approach beneficial is that it is specifically tailored to your

needs, tastes, time restrictions and preferences.

Organize

It can take days months or years to compile all the research, recipes, meal plans, grocery

lists, pantry and kitchen to create a plan that suits your health, personal tastes, family

tastes, is seasonal, is interesting, and aligns with your goals. Natasha helps identify and

prioritize your goals, and packages an easy to implement plan with immediate and long term

action plans to reach them.

Inspire and Motivate

Whether you have tried fad diets for years only to gain the weight back, or recently found out

you have a food sensitivity and feel overwhelmed to make a plan for yourself, Natasha is

there as a coach to help get you back on track and stay on track.

Focus

It doesn’t take long to develop a habit, but without a focused effort the work to adopt

healthier eating habits can be washed away. Natasha will help you focus on your immediate

needs and work through them until you come to a place you are confident and proud of.
