Hi, I’m Natassja  

I’m the founder of Drop the Beet.

I specialise in delivering gut-health workshops, lifestyle coaching, and plant-based culinary experiences that empower people to reconnect with their bodies, nourish from within, and build sustainable, healthy habits.

My work blends science and mindfulness — exploring how the gut and nervous system influence our energy, mood, and overall well-being. I deliver interactive gut-health workshops for both holistic retreats and corporate well-being events, helping people understand the profound link between nutrition, stress, and emotional balance.

As a plant-based retreat chef, I design and lead menus that are vibrant, healing, and deeply grounding. Each dish is created with intention — to nourish the body, calm the mind, and deepen connection through food. I also host mindful cooking and nutrition workshops that teach participants to cook intuitively, boost confidence in the kitchen, and bring joy back into everyday meals.

Whether I’m leading a retreat kitchen, guiding a group through a mindful eating session, or coaching individuals 1:1, my aim is to make healthy living feel accessible, fulfilling, and inspiring.

I trained as a Plant-Based Retreat Chef at Bettina’s Kitchen in London and Bali. I completed my Breathwork Facilitator Training with Yoga Life and received accreditation for the Advanced Coaching Programme with the Global Institute of Organisational Coaching in Phoenix, U.S.
