My name is Natasha Banks, and I am a Functional Health and Performance Coach, as well as a Wellness Consultant for businesses. I founded The Wellness Consultant with a singular vision: to empower high-achieving women, from successful entrepreneurs to C-suite executives, to transform their health and optimise their wellbeing for sustained peak performance. My philosophy aligns with the understanding that you CAN have it all – a thriving business or career and a life you’re obsessed with.
In the demanding world of leadership, your health is your greatest asset. My approach combines evidence-based strategies in nutrition, lifestyle modifications, in-depth hormone assessments, and mind-body therapies to provide a holistic and powerful pathway to optimal health and unwavering resilience. I understand that no two women are the same, especially when balancing career ambitions with personal wellbeing. That’s why I craft personalised wellbeing strategies designed to meet your unique needs and aspirations, ensuring you can thrive in every aspect of your life – professionally and personally.
Drawing on my experience collaborating with incredible professionals within Functional Medicine and Cognitive Performance such as Dr Tamsin Lewis , Solice, and Natalia Ramsden at Sofos Associates, I employ functional practices that address the root causes of challenges you may face. This means going beyond symptom management to truly understand and resolve underlying issues that can impact your energy, focus, and leadership capabilities.

“The coaching sessions have led to significant positive changes in my life. I'm more mindful of my food choices and consider my cycle when planning meals and exercise. These changes have also positively impacted my family's diet. I've felt a strong sense of dedication and commitment throughout this journey.”

“I cannot recommend Natasha highly enough! Unlike other assessments I’ve had Natasha went incredibly in-depth, leaving no stone unturned when it came to understanding my hormone health. She highlighted potential issues that could have been affecting my fertility, things that had previously been overlooked and provided clear, practical guidance on how to make positive changes. Her recommendations were tailored specifically to me and I could tell she genuinely cared about my well-being.”
