fitness model because I was in your position before. My name is and
I have walked the walk, documented the lessons learned in my fitness
journey and am ready to open the doors to the world of fitness
modeling to YOU.
I was very frustrated back in 2007 when I decided to dedicate my free
time to building my body and online presence as I could not find a
PRACTICAL resource to tell me exactly who I needed to do, what kind
of pictures I needed to take, who are the industry market makers, did
I have what it take to get published on a magazine cover, how to get a
sponsorship, if i could really make money as a fitness model, etc etc.
I searched everywhere and I got really fed up.
TAKING MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS.
I took it upon myself to begin a 5 year odyssey starting from when I
lived in Europe working as an Investment Banker by day, working out
and competing by night, moving up the ranks, making tons of failures
and successes, finally making the big leap by moving to Los Angeles
and watching my fitness industry career EXPLODE after those hard years
of putting work in.

Her dedication to fitness and extensive knowledge of the industry,
exotic looks, “can do” attitude, in addition to intelligence all

who serves as a role model to many women.
Natalie is definitely someone to admire, because in addition to

2.5 years, and excelling in athletics, she was able to win the WNSO
FAME European Fitness Model Championship as well as get featured in

book on to them. I don't know of anywhere else where they could this

_"Truly THE BOOK OF THE YEAR for me!"_
Dear Natalie,
I finished reading "The Insider's Guide to the Business of Fitness
Modeling," and I would like to share my thoughts with you about how
much I enjoyed it. It's truly THE BOOK OF THE YEAR for me.
I truly believe that this ebook is helpful to me personally. Your
words spoke to me and I was able to understand your advice very
clearly and easily. As an aspiring fitness model, your words provide
me with a lot of useful information inspiration. A lot of my questions
about the business of fitness modeling were answered with your help,
and I feel even more prepared to take my next steps into the industry.
Each section of your book went into the perfect amount of detail,
explaining everything one needs to know in order to make it into this
industry. I specifically appreciate the way that you described Ian
Lauer's work and the importance of maintaining a good work ethic. It's
the perfect example of professionalism and dedication required to
succeed.
Being able to gather this large amount of your experiences and share
them, is priceless. I would like to thank you again for sharing your
knowledge and I feel very fortunate enough to have had the opportunity
to have access to read your book. - SéBASTIEN LERIA
_One word would have to be "professional_"
_"I had the fortunate pleasure of seeing Natalie in action and the
first thing I noticed was her infectious energy. The models she
happened to be working with were all very novice and timid, but
Natalie was able to make each one very comfortable immediately and
therefor captured amazing images of which I'm using to promote my
business. I've been in the fitness industry for over two decades and
have worked with some of the best and I would have to put Natalie
right up there with the rest of them for a variety of reasons. __If I
were to sum all of those up in one word it would have to be
"professional". _
_I highly recommend Natalie's services as a photographer and hang my
reputation on her ability, not only to get things done, but get them
done efficiently. I'm available to answer any further questions if
necessary."_

approaching"_
Alexa Trafalis Overall Female Fitness Model Winner, (pictured right)
"Who would of thought going to a fitness show in Sacramento with my
best friend Yolanda Mejia-Dixon I'd be blessed with all this! Natalie
Minh approached me at the show, asking "who are you and what do you
do?" I was literally siting at a slot machine ready to leave when
Natalie gave me her business card and invited me to be in her Model
and Fitness show.
I was over shows and competing, I wanted something different. I was
looking for a new drive, other than working at my gym (. I emailed
Natalie and made it clear I did not want to just do any show, I had
done a couple of shows in the past to get noticed and to get my name
out there hoping one day to also get into more modeling. Unfortunately
it was not the marketing I needed, I needed more and thats what
Natalie promised me her show would provide.
I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason and this is a
perfect example of that. Wow, I got more than what was promised! Not
only did the whole crew Gary, Mitchie, Clark and most of all Natalie
put me in the best networking environment yet! I set a few personal
goals and achieved those and so much more!
I have now made history by being the 1st female fitness model to win
the overall award. From my winning I was promised a modeling contract
in which I signed with TODAY! I was promised photo shoots and I have
6 lined up for weeks approaching. Not only did this show help me find
my drive again I was given the best oppertunities possible. I know
this is just the beginning of so much more to come.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am so excited and I fell so
blessed. I wouldnt have got here without my TeamTaf, Team Ventura and
the Powetec Team!"
Thank you,
Alexa Tafralis

"I have travelled to the USA on numerous occasions to compete and
each time was an amazing experience, but even just entering the
Powertec Model & Fitness contest allowed me to connect with industry
professionals which I otherwise wouldn't have been able to connect
with.
Being able to network after the event was worth travelling for in
itself. Many events will give you a pro card and allow you to compete
at the highest level but the M padding: 10px 20px;">
