I have nothing but great things to say about Natalie! I have bounced back and forth between binge eating and extreme dieting for most of my adult life. When I found Natalie, I had just come off a round of extreme dieting and was looking for a more balanced look at nutrition. I had heard of Intuitive Eating in the past but had sort of dismissed it because as I told Natalie on our first call: "Clearly, your intuition is telling me to eat different things than my intuition." I worked with Natalie for about 6 months and I can say for a fact that the person I was when I met her and the person I am now are two completely different people (in the best way). I'm still a work in progress and probably always will be, but I can say with absolute certainty that I'm a better version of myself than before I met Natalie. If you have been struggling with food, if you've never experienced a life where food didn't rule you in one way or another and are reading this, I highly encourage you to reach out to Natalie. She is the most non-judgmental of humans and you will immediately feel at ease in her (virtual) presence. read more

I really enjoyed working with Natalie. She was so patient, thoughtful, and considerate throughout our interactions and I felt like I made tangible progress in my understanding of my relationship with food and to my body. Natalie always had a constructive idea or suggestion to problems I was working through and was especially helpful helping me think about fueling as an athlete. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to better understand how and why they eat what they eat and feeling more in touch with their eating habits. read more

Excellent guidance for intuitive eating. I had a pretty good handle on what to eat. Natalie helped me refine how to make better choices and when to make those choices. I feel like I will be able to utilize her suggestions in the long term without feeling deprived, read more

I worked with Natalie to resolve the one unresolved area of my life, my relationship with food. Over the course of a few months, she shared with me new ways to think about and name how I felt around eating and ways to let go of the old stories and thinking that didn't serve me, and that quite frankly were useless to my life. The sessions we had were actionable and informative but also gave me a place to process some of the beliefs I had about myself and eating that don't work for me. And she'd always give me at least one subtle truth bomb that would resonate for me far after the sessions. She's gracious and patient and client-focused and she comes with a lot of knowledge and resources to keep me motivated between our sessions. I'd 100% recommend her to anyone who wants to explore their relationship with their food and bodies. read more

Finding Natalie was transformative. After many years of healing everything except my relationship with my body, Natalie jumped in with valuable data and incredible kindness. With her tools I have moved into a space of freedom and joy. I have recommended her to everyone I know professionally (I am a doctor) and personally. We all deserve this kind of loving coaching. read more

I could never say enough good things about Natalie; she truly is an amazing coach and I am forever grateful to have been able to work with her. I came into my sessions with her hoping to sort out the ongoing conflict between my desire for personal wellness and the ever prevalent diet culture in my life. While I sometimes felt comfortable with myself, my choices and my body, I always questioned whether it was 'okay' to accept myself. It was difficult to not make weight loss and food choices a moral issue (good vs bad foods. I'm 'bad' for eating this or that. If I'm not losing weight, I'm simply not trying hard enough, etc). Natalie helped me recognize the languages and cues of the things that were making it so daunting to do what was really best for me. Together, we re-framed what health and wellness personally means (my wellness manifesto) and worked on ways to counter the things that would often make me question myself. When I almost fell back into the dieting routine, she gently, but resolutely, helped me remember my ideals and not to compromise them. If you're ready to shed the exhausting ups and downs of diet culture and start living life focusing on what's really most important to you, then Natalie is a perfect coach for you. Her coaching and care has worked wonders for me and I am seeing the positive changes more and more every day! read more

I originally reached out to Natalie for guidance on what foods to eat/not eat, and during the informational session learned that her work is more around intuitive eating and mindset. I decided to continue sessions with her to learn more about this approach to my relationship with food and had no idea how much easier life would be 6 months later. Natalie is personable and patient and helped me untangle my own unconscious associations with "health" and body image. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you for everything read more

Natalie was a fantastic health coach and guide into intuitive eating and finding joy in movement again. After working with a former coach on exercise and eating that included weekly photos, measurements, restrictive diet (carb cycling and cutting out whole food groups) I turned to Natalie for a more holistic and restorative approach. The latter coaching approach was focused on counting calories, weighing food, measuring myself, weekly weigh-ins etc. and I ended up hating myself (when I couldn't adhere to the strict diet and exercise regiment) and also ended up hating going to the gym because it felt like a full-time job, literally joy had been sucked out of exercise and staying fit. This was not sustainable or life-giving. When I started working with Natalie, she completely flipped my orientation to food, eating, and movement and challenged my thinking around the traditional diet mentality and instead encouraged me to be compassionate with myself as I navigated eating habits that left me feeling good about myself. We did a lot of work deconstructing negative self-talk and examined ways for me to be healthy and strong regardless of my size. For anyone who is a former competitive athlete or struggles with perfectionism and is worn down by all of the diet-oriented and restrictive foodstuff out there, I highly recommend working with Natalie. She will help you restore your self-image, help you to become more self-compassionate, and kind to yourself. read more

Working with Natalie is one of the best things I've done for myself in a long time. She is a wonderful, knowledgeable, compassionate and brilliant human being who will work with you on a variety of topics and issues you might have related to your relationship and mentality on food, diet and overall health and well-being. We've worked together for two months and she was extremely effective in helping me with things I've struggled with for YEARS! I cannot recommend her enough! read more

I tried working with Natalie and while she is patient and professional, I found a lot of her help to be just nice ideas about feeling good, nothing really meaningful to change my life or habits. Mostly fluff, but that's what you get with the institute of integrative nutrition I guess. read more

Relationships are hard; especially the ones with food. Before learning about intuitive eating from Natalie, I always had a love-hate relationship with food. Choosing correct food seemed stressful and like a war at times. Natalie helped me look beyond "Good" and "Bad" food labels. She made me realize I need to accept and love my body as it is and not follow numbers but notice how I feel about my actions. Free atmosphere and freedom to share literally anything with her is something rare to find in a nutrition coach. I think this ease of communication was something that helped me open about my feelings; both + and -. As Natalie says "there are no wrong choices, everything is a data point" So, if you looking to make long lasting changes to your thought process behind food choices Natalie is the best person you can ever find. PS: Please read the Book Recommendations on her website. Some great stuff on there. read more

The work I've done with Natalie has been absolutely life changing. It's hard to even describe, but mostly has been a paradigm shift in understanding how much diet culture has influenced every aspect of my life and caused me to have some really negative thoughts towards myself. Recognizing that, and working to ask questions and challenge the norms, and my behaviors that support those norms, has helped me to grow in my relationship with myself and with others, become more confident, and feel more valuable as a person. I first met with Natalie thinking I would learn how to lose weight, but instead have been learning how to love my body the WAY IT IS, through all of it's stages and changes, and ultimately have been learning how to love myself, at my core, and take actions in my life to support my overall health and well being. Through working with Natalie I have noticed patterns and behaviors surrounding eating that are related to stress, fearful emotions that I didn't want to deal with, and lack of satisfaction in other areas of my life. I learned that stress eating and emotional eating have been serving a purpose of comforting me during difficult times, and that instead of hating myself for that, I can notice what's going on, see how that has served me, and with compassion think about whether there could be additional activities that would be soothing. With recognition and understanding, I've been able to readjust aspects of my life slowly, to pursue lost and new interests that have been bringing me so much more joy. I've also been able to more clearly identify my behaviors and emotions surrounding food and body and overall wellness. I feel that this will be a life-long process, but Natalie has been there every step of the way with so much support, compassion, and kindness, helping me to learn some of the deepest and most instructive truths about myself, and helping me to pursue more happiness in my everyday life. I can't describe how much my work with Natalie means to me. In this review I've barely even scratched the surface of what she's helped me with, but take my word that if you choose to work with Natalie it will be life changing for your relationship with yourself and those around you. She will help you to let go of things you never even knew were holding you back, and form a new view of yourself and the world. read more

Natalie is one of a kind. I had been to many counselors and nutritionists before seeing her and I didn't believe anyone could help me. However, Natalie's patience with this process and ability to tailor the work we do to my needs, questions, and concerns make her different from the rest. She is relatable, kind, experienced, and a constant positive source in a meandering and sometimes frustrating journey. TL;DR: The work I've done with Natalie is life-changing and I'd recommend her a million times over. Natalie is very knowledgeable and experienced about the complexities of one's relationship with food. With other counselors, food would be at best a side note in the conversation or at worst, a coping mechanism they unknowingly encouraged me to use. However, with Natalie, I can both talk about the stresses themselves that drive me to use food as an outlet, and discuss how to break the reactionary patterns and habits I've cultivated over time. As opposed to other nutritionists, her goal is not to teach her patients about nutritional intake and needs. I, and I'm assuming many of her patients, had spent so much time and energy being hyperaware of what was "right" and "wrong" that there was no more for me to learn in that area. She instead focused on why I felt the need to hold on so tight to the diet mentality and how my attitude towards certain foods and behaviors was destructive for my goal towards overall health. I feel like I can bring up anything with Natalie and trust her fully to never judge things that I would judge myself for. Our work uncovered deep-seeded issues with body image I didn't even know I had and subconscious thoughts around food and body that I wasn't even aware of. She is down-to-earth, a champion of caring for one's self and one's health, and is great at what she does. read more

I started working with Natalie when my lifestyle was completely turned around due to the coronavirus. I was living the fast-paced New Yorker life and on a strict routine of working out 7 days a week and meal planning/calorie tracking, all in what I was telling myself was just to be "healthy." When quarantine started, I wasn't able to keep up what I thought was normal and quickly realized there were many underlying issues related to how I was thinking about eating, body image, and exercise. I had all these rules for myself that I didn't even realize were limiting my ability to live fully. I was initially resistant to giving up my habits that I thought were helping me be healthy, but working with Natalie helped me see that there's so much freedom in being free of the diet mentality and really being in my body, not just in my head. I'm truly amazed that after 6 sessions, I feel like a completely different person. I don't step on the scale every day, I give myself permission to have bags of chips or snacks in my house, I don't watch diet YouTube videos looking for next fad diet, I don't worry about going on vacation, I don't make myself exercise even when I'm not feeling well. Working with Natalie was the best long-term investment I made in my health and happiness. Our bodies will always change throughout life and I'm so glad that I have the tools to accept and live with those changes and focus my energy on what's more important to me than trying to look a certain way. read more

Natalie is an excellent coach and listener. I came to her without much knowledge of intuitive eating and she guided me through it with empathy and patience in every session. She always asks what I need and tailors each session to my needs. Working with her has made a huge impact on my life and I am thankful for her support! read more

I worked with Natalie for 6 months, and had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend working with her. She's kind, empathetic, understanding, and leaves you feeling empowered and ready to tackle whatever health-related challenges you're facing. Natalie does a great job of reframing what health means, and thinking about health in a bigger, more holistic sense. She also did a great job guiding me to find ways to achieve optimal health. read more

I came to Natalie to find a well-qualified coach who could help me find solutions that fit my body, schedule, and most importantly my personality. I've read countless articles on nutrition and have done self-guided workout programs and diets with success. Unfortunately, those successes were short-lived, and I came to realize that I was treating fitness as a series of sprints, when I should be viewing it as a marathon. Natalie was exactly the type of person I was looking for. Natalie's well-qualified, intuitive, and personalized expertise cuts through the confusion created by modern fad diets. She has helped me identify the thoughts and behaviors that I want to change, and supported me with the tools and knowledge to follow through. Highly recommended!! read more

I have worked with three other trainers before and Natalie is hands down the best!! Her background in nutrition, the emotional connection to food and personal training make her the triple threat to getting results!! And the icing on the cake, she's such a lovable and relatable person that you are immediately comfortable with her! Natalie's style of training is kind but firm! She gives you a total of three exercises you can say no to. For example squats with the bar on the back of my neck is something I just can't do because it hurts my neck(don't worry she's creative and finds other ways to train you)! This approach to taking feedback from her clients is a differentiator from others and make sure you feel as comfortable as possible. I also love that she is concerned with form first then repetition! Lastly, Natalie's positive energy and infectious smile make your time with her fly by!!! I highly recommend Natalie for personal training or nutrition sessions! read more

Natalie Joffe has helped me make my eating choices actual choices and not reflex actions. That's a truly wonderful thing! I went to her on the advice of my physician to adjust my eating habits after an attack of gout; the gout is gone without medication, and I've lost six pounds in ten weeks without even trying. But you know what - Natalie showed me how I could eat "anything I wanted" (except maybe foods that exacerbate gout symptoms), and I've lost those pounds without giving up dessert or beer or cocktails, I've lost them because - somehow - Natalie helped me be more conscious about my eating. If you can't leave a plate until it's been wiped clean, if you finish a meal in a tenth of the time it takes to prepare it, if you just know better but don't know how to make it happen, I recommend a few sessions with Natalie Joffe. The only thing you have to lose is your wardrobe! read more

Natalie is awesome! I am an acupuncturist and I send Natalie clients who are really struggling with their relationship between food, diet and how they feel about themselves. Natalie is so effective at supporting clients in a deep way and helping them see a healthier and kinder way of eating and being in their body. I strongly recommend her if you struggle with dieting, poor body image, and emotional eating (among other things). read more

I have worked with many counselors in the past and Natalie stands out shining among them. Her patience, professionalism, and deep knowledge + experience were truly life-changing to work with. I was in a desperate and all too familiar place when I fist came to Natalie and our work together has given me a freedom and relief from obsessive thoughts more than I have experienced in a long time. I had many break-throughs thanks to her guidance and realized how much I was operating under a value system that wasn't entirely my own thanks to the pervasiveness of diet culture. Natalie provides a multi-layered and structured approach to healing body shame and food obsession that was an absolute miracle for me. I give her my highest recommendation and gratitude. read more

Natalie is absolutely wonderful. She is a fantastic coach and has taught me so much. She is patient, understanding, and thoughtful. I highly recommend her! read more

Natalie is amazing at what she does & if you have been thinking about taking on some of your challenges & concerns around food, body image & self esteem she is the person to help you. I feel as though I need to share some of my back ground so that you might be able to appreciate what Natalie can help you with. I have had a crippling relationship with food since I was 12. I was lead to believe thinner was better, prettier & smarter. This continued on into high school sports with coaches telling me to loose weight so I could run faster & break school records. Throughout college & the rest of my ENTIRE life I bought into this information & it has RULED my life. I have missed out on so many meaningful life events because "I was fat" or I ate "bad" food. Finally at 48 I decided I needed to face this problem. This problem that I could not talk about due to the shame. The problem that most likely had no resolution & I would be saddled with forever. On a suggestion from a workout coach I called Natalie. From our very 1st phone call I knew she was different. She could relate to exactly what I had been through & how scared I was to let her in on my secrets with food & total self hate. I decided to trust Natalie & walked into the middle of the "dark tunnel" while holding her hand. The work I did with a Natalie has changed my life. I have found freedom from food, learned true self compassion & so many other things from working with her. If you think there's no way out or that your problem is hopeless just call her. It is one of the most transformative and important things I've ever done for myself. Good luck to you! read more

I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to work with Natalie for the past year. She has given me strategies and tools that have totally transformed the way that I think about health and food. I have always struggled with stress around food and the business of life in general, and Natalie has given me guidance that allows me to listen to my body to make better decisions around food that align with how I really feel and create balance in my life. She is one of the most kind and compassionate people I've every had the pleasure of meeting. If you're looking for a way to heal your relationship with food and find some self-love and compassion in your own life, I recommend spending some time with Natalie and listening to the guidance she has to share. read more

Natalie is absolutely incredible! Her focus on mindfulness and intuitive eating helped be break the lifelong diet cycle that I had been stuck in. She approaches her work with clients with such a high degree of knowledge and compassion and is able to meet people where there are. The environment she provides during her sessions one of openness. I never felt judged or pressured which allowed us to really be transparent and work through some of my lifelong struggles with food and my body. Her investment and belief in me is unmatched by anyone else I have worked with - I will continue to highly recommend her to everyone I know. We all need a Natalie in our corner! read more

Natalie helped me achieve some personal breakthroughs that I have never thought possible in the past. I had been going on and off diets or exercise routines but nothing stuck. Natalie helped me change my daily routine in order to enable daily exercise, healthy eating, good sleep, and consistent progress towards my other life goals. It may sound obvious, but talking through what's getting in the way of success and creating new habits helped me flip the switch for good! read more

Natalie is Amazing! Her scope of knowledge when it comes to nutrition and lifestyle behavior modification is right on point. Her background in psychology helps give a unique approach in that she gets to the root of issues which promote longer lasting changes. Lifelong changes! I can't recommend Natalie enough. read more

Natalie was amazing. She is extremely knowledgable, offered practical suggestions every time and customized a program that was based on my needs. read more

Natalie brings great knowledge about intuitive eating and guidance that goes way beyond the meetings with her. I have learned so much and am now able to apply this to my daily eating routine. You rock Natalie! read more

I have worked with Natalie over the years and she is the one person who has been able to help me get my nutrition under control without making it feel like work. She is extremely empathetic and trust worthy and I can not believe the value that she has added to my life. We really all know how to eat "healthy" but Natalie takes health and nutrition to the next level. She helps tackle those drivers that have us wanting to binge at night (and not on those veggies either). She has improved my self awareness and overall quality of life. As a fellow healthcare provider, I send many patients to her. If you have a chance to get on Natalie's schedule I highly recommend it as she is life changing. read more

Natalie is one of the most compassionate, thoughtful, and skillful nutrition coaches I've had the pleasure to work with. I connected with Natalie's background as a former high level athlete and her very strong nutrition and health background. Natalie is incredibly patient, kind, fun and funny, and listened deeply to what I was saying beneath my actual words, completely free of judgment. She used helpful metaphors and drawings that made what I learned accessible, memorable, and applicable. I've walked away with a transformed mindset on my health, happiness, and overall wellbeing. One of my greatest takeaways was learning to trust my intuition and be in conversation with my body about what it needs. I learned to interpret the signs/information that previously seemed foreign, confusing, or unavailable to me. I'll go as far as to say I am now in a healthy, committed, happy relationship with my body. My work with Natalie has been priceless and I'm incredibly grateful for her support in helping me release decade long, old patterns of destructive habits and thinking. Talk about liberating. read more

I went to work with Natalie in order to try and align my nutrition to some specific personal athletic goals, and I came out with so much more! Throughout our time together, I learned strategies for intuitive eating on-the-go, how to listen to my body and what nutrition it needs, and how to make all of these things work in a way that suits my goals and lifestyle. Strongly recommend working with Natalie if you're trying to do the same. read more

You will never regret any time you spend with Natalie. That's been my experience and I have worked with her for over five years. Although she is incredibly knowledgeable about nutrition, she provides much more than that - encouraging balance in each area of life, so that you can make your health a priority. I haven't particularly struggled with food, but I worked with Natalie to improve my overall mental and physical health. Reading the variety of reviews for Natalie demonstrates that she can help essentially anyone, no matter your ultimate goal. I recommend her to anyone and everyone! read more

Working with Natalie not only changed how I thought about and approached food, but it changed the way I saw myself. She showed me how to let go of the guilt and all of the food and health "noise" out there. I value eating in a way that is satisfying, fulfilling, and enjoyable. I wasn't interested in working with someone that was going to put me on another diet plan. They just don't work for me and kind of make me a terrible person (because I'm starving). Natalie's approach is all about being more mindful about our food choices and what our body needs. And through this process, I gained more confidence and became kinder to myself. She helped me set goals that were meaningful to me, and supported me every step of the way. Thank you, Natalie. Your approach was a breath of fresh air and just what I needed. read more

I honestly wasn't quite sure what to expect when I reached out to Natalie for nutrition coaching. I've struggled to keep a consistent weight most of my adult life and was looking for some guidance. Natalie helped give me a new perspective on food, weight, and body image that's helped me begin to accept my body the way it is and stress less about every calorie I consume or burn. read more

I just finished a three month stint with Natalie, and I'm so grateful for the experience. I truly think that everyone who has ever struggled with their relationship with food should spend time with an intuitive eating coach. We're constantly told about food that we "shouldn't", but Natalie teaches you to ask yourself what it is you want, as well as what you need, and that experience is invaluable. Thanks so much for the new perspective Natalie! read more
