Texas born and Los Angeles, California bred,  Natalie Brawley is passionate about living a healthy lifestyle, seeking out organic foods and ingredients, and committing to regular exercise – without worrying about dieting. To Natalie, this West Coast lifestyle is second nature to her even though she lives many miles away, after over 15 years of experimenting in the kitchen, creating healthy meals for herself and her family, finding alternative yet healthful ways to eat her favourite “junk” foods, all while maintaining an active lifestyle.  This inventiveness in the kitchen, combined with intellectual curiosity about the science of nutrition as well as a love of caring for others, led her to find a way to combine her passions for great food, health, and helping bring the two to others’ lives.  She began her career in the health care industry, ultimately combining health and caring for people with haute cuisine via the French Culinary Institute in New York City and as a line chef in two Michelin-starred restaurants in London
