A Philosophy Rooted in Nature and Balance
In a world where beauty is often equated with cosmetic surgery and invasive treatments, Natalya stands out by embracing authenticity and a holistic lifestyle. At 59, her life philosophy centers around natural beauty, both inside and out—prioritizing clean eating, gentle skincare, and a deep connection with the world around her.
Natalya’s Approach to Beauty
“I have never used invasive procedures or beauty injections. I rely only on natural creams for skincare and visit cosmetologists only occasionally—for massage treatments. I believe that outer beauty directly reflects the health of our internal organs, which are shaped by our nutrition and lifestyle,” says Natalya.
Every three years, she travels to Ayurvedic clinics in Kerala, India, where she undergoes full-body detox treatments. These rituals help her maintain energy, harmony, and a radiant, well-preserved appearance.
Academic Background and Career Evolution
Natalya holds two university degrees in education and law. She began her career as a physics teacher and later transitioned into leadership roles in the customs service, ultimately becoming a Third Rank Customs Service Advisor.
A Creative Turning Point
At the age of 43, Natalya made a bold shift toward creativity, discovering a passion for photography. She moved to a new city, trained under various mentors, and built a successful career as a photographer. Her solo exhibitions have been showcased in Belarus, Germany, Italy, and Russia.
The Influence of India and Ayurveda
India plays a vital role in Natalya’s personal and professional life. After intensive study of Ayurveda, she developed her own educational program to share this ancient knowledge with others.
For Natalya, sincerity is the most beautiful quality a person can possess.
A Life That Proves True Beauty Comes from Within
Her journey is a powerful testament to the idea that real beauty begins on the inside. A focus on internal health through mindful living, clean eating, and emotional balance is the foundation of her graceful presence.
