Time to get more acquainted with fitness model, certified health and wellness coach and former psychologist NATALIA WALKER…
Hello, Natalia, tell us all about your photo shoot.
The idea for this was really spontaneous. I’ve always enjoyed outdoor photo shoots, especially during summer, because you can get the best light and a natural look comes out easily. We chose two locations, one where we were at the top of a mountain next to the highway and drivers could see me posing in my sparkling, semi-transparent outfit. The funniest part was when I had to hide from the passing school buses!
Well, you look good. When do you feel you’re at your sexiest?
I feel sexy all the time – LOL. Feeling sexy is a state of mind. Maybe it started with my confidence and now it’s just one of my more constant feelings.
What’s your best physical assets?
I’m told I have a pretty face and tanned, smooth skin. I’m also very flexible from years of gymnastics.
Tell us more about yourself.
I was born in Ukraine and moved to the U.S. about six years ago. I started in Los Angeles and now I’m based in San Francisco. I have been modelling since I was 17 and I used to be a psychologist before moving into health and fitness. I now mainly work as a fitness coach and model in my spare time. Eventually, I’d love to open my own fitness studio in San Francisco that will help people live healthier lives and become the best version of themselves. I have a very special and unique fitness method and I look forward to sharing my successful techniques with others. With my experience, I know first-hand that so many of our emotional stresses can be resolved with a good, physical workout.
Nice work. What else do you do in your spare time?
I enjoy being alone and reading a book. At the same time, I re-energise when I’m out and about being social with friends and meeting new people.
What have you learned about men over the years?
Men can be more logical than women. And women are probably more emotional than men. It’s probably our biology.
What should men always remember about women?
More than purely physical attraction, women fall for men who can stare into our soul and appreciate our personality at the same time.
What do you look for in a man?
Good sense of humour, fiercely loyal, empathetic, honest and responsible.
Describe your ideal date.
When I go on a date, the most important part is building an emotional connection. And that’s true whether it’s over a nice dinner at my favourite restaurant, wine tasting or any other fun activities. We have to click.
What can we get you at the bar?
Skinny, spicy margarita with Casa Azul. No salads for me!
Got a morning hangover cure?
At home in Ukraine, we cure with the same drinks from the night before. Personally, I add a lot of electrolytes to help me rehydrate.
Do you have any hidden talents?
I have a terrific memory and can remember everyone’s name and face. I think it’s because I love people!
What’s next for you?
I feel blessed that we have some exciting projects coming over the next six months. For now, I don’t want to give any spoilers, but I hope everyone will be as excited as I am to share what’s coming soon.
