Nutrition Coach & Chef

Neda Varbanova is an impressively educated and highly experienced certified health coach, with a holistic approach to true health. her aim is to not only create healthy meal plans, but sustainable lifestyle habits, and physical and psychological balance in partnership with her clients, as facilitated through her lifestyle brand, Healthy With Nedi.

Neda’s connection to health and nutrition began through her upbringing in Bulgaria, where she had the advantage of fresh daily meals prepared by her mother, focusing on whole foods. It was a stark contrast when she later moved to the United States and discovered the challenges of a population gripped by diabetes diagnoses and unfortunate obesity statistics. This inspired her to take action through her education, studying Culinary Nutrition at the National Gourmet Institute and completing a holistic health coach certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Her educational path culminated with a Food Studies graduate degree at NYU Steinhardt.

Neda understands the nuanced connection that mental health and personal struggles can have on our capacity to live a balanced and nutritious lifestyle. This advantage allows her to develop personalized client plans that address the root cause of each client’s struggles and challenges, to create a new pattern of lifestyle changes with staying power.

Through her Healthy With Nedi platform, Neda has been featured across Elle, Grazia, Well + Good, mindbodygreen, The Chalkboard, Healthline, Greatist, Business Insider, Byrdie and more. Her affiliations with brands have included partnerships with Hilma Natural Remedies, Medterra CBD, Tula, Korres, Bare Bones Broth, The Berkeley London, Pret A Manger, Pressed Juicery, Juice Press and more.
