about me
Hi there, I’m Natasha - or Tasha for short! I’m an online health & fitness coach + lifestyle blogger. I recently moved from Seattle to Phoenix with my husband, David, three kids, Gretchen (7) & Ralph (5), Claire (1) and our mini bernedoodle, Boot. I’m so happy you’re here and I’m excited to share my story with you.
Where I am at today is all because of a decision I made in 2012 to change my life and get healthy. I had always been overweight growing up and had tried every quick fix in the book to lose it - pills, wraps, shakes, drops, cleanses - you name it, I did it. At first some of these things worked, but after a week or so I would end up feeling so deprived which led to binge eating and gaining everything, if not more, back.
I was tired of this vicious cycle of losing & gaining. I was physically tired. I was tired of always being self conscious and standing in the back of group photos despite being one of the shortest. I was tired of crying every time I stood in the dressing room. So I decided it was time to get serious, stop wasting my money on fads and quick fixes that didn’t work, and lose weight in a healthy way - clean eating and exercise. I didn’t care if it took me a year to do it or if I only lost a pound a week, I wanted results that would last. So I picked up a copy of Beachbody’s Hip Hop Abs and after that Insanity (because there was no way I was going to work out at a gym in front of other people) and the rest is history.
Within 6 months I lost nearly 60 pounds and my life had completely changed. Not only did I look like a different person, but I had a newfound confidence, was proud of what I had accomplished, and I stopped watching my life pass by and started actually living it.
Now, I pay it forward and help other women make the same physical and emotional transformation I did. I host monthly virtual boot camps where you follow the same home workout programs as me, I teach you more about balanced clean eating (I share my weekly meal plans too!), give you daily motivation, and hold you accountable to showing up and following through so you get results. These groups are such an amazing community of women. We are all on this journey together and support each other and cheer eachother on every step of the way. I know you’ll fit right in.
I’ve helped over 1000 women change their lives through health & fitness and continue to do so daily, but another part of my job that I love is that I mentor women who want to do what I do as a health & fitness coach/online influencer and teach them to grow successful at-home businesses.
I started as a coach shortly after I had my daughter because it was either find something to do from home or go back to a 9-5 job I hated and put her in daycare. I searched for different opportunities and tried a few things like consumer surveys and cleaning up the google search engine - neither of which were consistent or paid very well.
Then I stumbled upon coaching. I already had lost weight doing Beachbody, was already sharing what I was doing with other people, I just didn’t know that it was possible to make a living doing it. So I signed up and started publicly sharing my weightloss journey in hopes to inspire others. When I started, I had less than 300 followers on Instagram and had no idea what I was doing, but I was determined to figure it out because I wanted to be able to stay home with my daughter.
In 5 years we were able to go from extreme debt (that was growing) to a life of freedom all because of coaching.
Interested in doing what I do? In my mentorship I will show you how to earn an income by living a healthy lifestyle on social media and inspiring others to do the same. You don’t need to be at your goal weight, have a ton of followers, or even know anything about how to grow a business (all of that I cover in my mentorship), but you do need to be hard working, self motivated, and have the mindset that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
