Today we’d like to introduce you to Natalie Schneider
Hi Natalie, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I am a lifelong learner and have travelled a very different path then most other people my age (50s).
I started off in a career in finance, which I loved, however there was a part of me that felt I was called to do something else. I took an evening class in French pastry and decided to explore the culinary world. I took a job at a new restaurant in New York City plating desserts and when the pastry chef didn’t show up, I ended up making all of the desserts. After that I did an internship making wedding cakes.
While I loved making pastry, the long hours on my feet made me realize that it was going to be a hobby, not a career.
I then decided to complete a certification program with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in Health Coaching. I loved the program and immediately began working with clients to improve their diet & nutrition. I worked as a health coach for 13+ years, for myself and for Cigna insurance company.
I then decided it was time for a change and pursued a certification in life coaching. Life coaching is extremely empowering for the client and for me. I love working with women to help them reach their goals, break through barriers and limiting beliefs and live the life that they desire. In addition to coaching one to one I enjoy giving workshops (stress reduction, 7 tips for work/life balance). Last year I added Wellness Cruises to what I offer. I’m hosting a Yoga & Wellness Cruise in November 2025.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It was not a smooth road. Changing careers without much experience in the new fields required great persistence, belief that I could do it and perserverence. I struggled with getting my foot in the door and succeeding.
While I was in the culinary field I struggled to make enough money while doing what I loved.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I help women entrepreneurs & business women who are struggling with time management issues, setting priorities, and creating healthy boundaries, Put Themselves First, so they can have great energy and time freedom to do what they love and want to do. I focus on Physical, Mental, Emotional and Financial Self-Care. No other coach out there is focused on all 4 areas of self-care.
My experience as a health coach and financial professional allow me to provide expertise to my clients.
I offer one to one coaching, workshops, 5-day Self-Care Challenges and wellness cruises. My coaching is tailored to the clients needs, not a cookie cutter program.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
Success is setting a goal, taking action, falling down if it happens, getting back up and trying again.
Success is learning more about myself and life. Success is overcoming challenges.
