My name is Natasha Banks, and I am a Functional  Health and Performance Coach, and Wellness Consultant for businesses. I founded The Wellness Consultant to support individuals in transforming their health and optimising their wellbeing through comprehensive, integrated programmes. My approach combines evidence-based strategies in nutrition, lifestyle modifications, hormone assessments, and mind-body therapies to provide a holistic pathway to optimal health. I understand that no two people are the same. That’s why I craft personalised wellbeing strategies to meet your unique needs and aspirations. Whether you're seeking to enhance your energy, reduce stress, understanding your metabolic status or establish sustainable health habits, my programmes are designed to empower you to thrive in every aspect of life.

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.

SH, 36, London, PwC

“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.”

NP, 36, Buckinghamshire

“Natasha provided fantastic nutritional support tailored specifically to me when battling severe morning sickness which really helped throughout my pregnancy. Also, as a working mother of two young children she helped adapt my routine enabling me to commit to making more time for myself and achieving greater balance. I would highly recommend!”

HR, 35, Monaco

“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.”

Functional lab testing, PEMF, red light therapy, ear acupressure, infrared sauna and breathwork to support your coaching journey

Combined Mind-Body Therapies

Looking for a holistic approach to health and wellbeing? I offer in-person programmes combining coaching with advanced treatments like PEMF and Red Light Therapy, alongside mindfulness and breathwork. I understand that true wellness comes from addressing the interconnectedness of the mind and body. I do this by integrating tried and tested therapies to help reduce stress, improve relaxation, enhance sleep, and promote balance, empowering you to take control of your wellbeing and make lasting changes.

  • Combined Breathwork with Mindfulness merges the techniques of controlled breathing exercises (breathwork) with the principles of mindfulness, creating a powerful practice to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Breathwork involves intentional manipulation of breathing patterns, while mindfulness focuses on cultivating present-moment awareness without judgment. Together, they complement each other to enhance overall health and self-awareness.

    Breathwork Techniques:

    • Uses controlled breathing patterns

      Helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, promoting relaxation or energisation

    Mindfulness Practice:

    • Encourages focusing attention on the breath, body sensations, affirmations or thoughts with a non-judgmental attitude.

    • Increases awareness of the present moment, fostering a sense of calm and clarity.

  • Red light therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular function. It is often used for skin rejuvenation, pain relief, and improving overall health.

    Benefits of Red Light Therapy

  • A PEMF mat (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field mat) is a therapeutic device that uses electromagnetic fields to stimulate and promote healing at the cellular level. These mats deliver low-frequency electromagnetic pulses to the body, which can help enhance cellular function and improve overall health. These waves interact with the body’s cells, helping to improve energy production, enhance circulation, and support the body’s natural repair processes.

    • Pain relief

    • Improved circulation

    • Enhanced recovery

    • Pregnant women

    • Individuals with pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices

  • An infrared sauna blanket is a type of sauna that uses infrared heaters to emit infrared light, which is absorbed directly by the skin. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air to raise the temperature of the body, infrared saunas penetrate the skin and tissues, allowing the body to heat up from within. Typically an infrared sauna is set at 45-60 centigrade which is more tolerable, however, deeply penetrates and creates more intense sweating and is a more economical item to use.

    Benefits of Infrared Saunas:
