I first came across Natalie when I decided to join the world of bikini competitors. I had zero experience but determined to do my best. I was immediately drawn to Natalies “Fit vegan chef” page for all her inspiration in both the Vegan world and the bodybuilding world. She quickly became my go to place for guidance through this all so foreign world of bodybuilding. Watching Natalie work so hard has been so inspiring, she really puts it all out there and shows a true raw look into what it takes to be a bikini bodybuilder. Her passion for the sport is absolutely undeniable and she really enjoys sharing everything she has learned with all her followers.
When it became time to hiring a posing coach, I of course knew who my #1 choice would be.  Natalie always looks so graceful and confident on stage and makes posing look so easy, which I now know isn’t! The way she presents herself on stage really stands out for all the right reasons.
During our first session I didn’t really know what to expect out of a Skype posing lesson, but I threw on my posing suit and my high heels and set up my iPad. I was ready to go. The minute she rang in, she was all smiles and so kind. It can be a little uncomfortable sitting in a tiny bikini in front of a IFBB pro, but I immediately felt comfortable and knew that I was in great hands. We got right into posing, she really took the time to find poses that showed off MY body. We ran through the routine  ( I recorded it so I could reference back) until I felt comfortable that I had enough information to start practicing. She then gave me the low down on how the whole show works, what I will be asked to do, where I will stand, how they do call outs etc etc. Then we got to the really fun stuff, she helped me pick out my entire suit, she had color recommendations, bottom cut, sizing, crystals, we went through hair styles, makeup, tan, she covered it all!
Natalie is such a genuine, sincere, professional woman who cares about each and every one of her clients. Her attention to detail, upbeat personality and genuinely kind soul makes her the total package. She takes her job as a coach very seriously and I truly appreciate all her continued support and guidance. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a posing coach, support system, and friend to hire Natalie Matthews!
