Your Lead Guide

Natassia has a passion for food, positive vibes and all things healthy!

Natassia turned to a plant-based diet back in 2010 in response to health concerns and hasn’t looked back. She has a certification in Plant-based Nutrition through the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies (a program created by her favorite doctor 🙂 ). While searching for tasty and healthy options as a newly minted vegan, she founded www.veggieluvparadise.com. It has since become a passport of places, dishes, tips and recipes of things she loves. Turns out, others like it too and she has quickly gained a following. Click here to check out Natassia’s Instagram, a fun resource of awesome veggieness.
