Hi, I’m Nathalie Lussier. That’s pronounced as “regular Natalie” Lucy-ay.

I first learned about the concept of raw foods in early 2005. Like most people, I experienced tons of resistance (both internal and external) when trying to go raw. In March 2006 I dove head first and went 100% raw for 30 days. Since my 30 day raw trial, I’ve learned what are the best ways to transition to a raw diet.

I came to raw veganism from a standard American diet: I wasn’t a vegetarian or a vegan beforehand.

I know what it takes to transition to a diet consisting mainly of raw foods. I also know that it might not be right for everyone. That’s why I don’t push 100% raw veganism, because I think introducing any amount of raw food into a diet is going to have great results.

Of course going raw or “more raw” comes with its share of challenges to overcome: being raw in a non-raw environment, staying raw while traveling, dealing with detox, and staying motivated in the face of cravings and temptations.

The Raw Foods Witch is here to help you on your raw food journey. You can hire me to coach you in your raw food transition. I will help make your transition to raw foods as smooth as possible, so you don’t drive yourself crazy!

In general I don’t believe in labels because they divide people into “us” versus “them”. It also creates an enemy of those who do not follow the same philosophies as you. That’s why I don’t like to refer to myself as a raw foodist, since I just happen to prefer eating mainly raw vegan foods.

For the purpose of this web site, I will be identifying with terms like raw food, raw vegan, and raw foodist, otherwise it won’t be clear what exactly I’m talking about. Plus, you know, search engines can’t guess if we don’t use clear enough terms. Thanks for your understanding. :)
