You already know just how highly I rate The Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), you wish you could attend it too, but you have no clue as to how you will ever get the opportunity to travel to New York, find the time to do the homework or the funds to afford this prestigious and popular course.

So, I wanted to explain how this course works.

Yes, it’s based in NYC.

No, you don’t have to travel there.

It’s all online, you can download lectures to your iPhone or iPad and watch/listen to them while offline. I even watched the lectures while flying from London to NZ!

Yes, it takes a year of commitment.

No, you don’t need to quit your job or get childcare or give up your free time!

The classes only take approx 5 hours/ week and they are sooooo interesting, that if your friends are into improving their health at all, they would LOVE to watch some the videos with you on holiday, so you don’t fall behind. I watched Deepak Chopra on the IIN stage with my sister and my mum in Ecuador :)

Yes, the certification makes you a Qualified Health Coach.

No, the course isn’t only for those looking to change their career.

The biggest part of the training is focused on nutrition and the business building bits are useful for ANY career you’re in!

Yes, the classes are all about educating you in ultimate health and nutrition.

No, they don’t promote any one diet!

In fact, the best thing I loved about IIN is their focus on bio-individuality. They would invite a speaker to talk about the adverse effects of the Atkins diet and there’d also be a speaker from the Atkins Institute explaining about the purpose of such a diet.

Yes, like with any reputable course- an investment is required.

No it’s not not required all upfront.

You can pay in instalments and because we are friends, I can pass on up to US $1,500 saving to you as the IIN Ambassador. Sadly I’m not allowed to post prices online because there are tiers of prices and because the IIN team probs think they can sell this course better than I can when you call to speak to them, hahaha. Well, don’t be afraid of getting in contact because you might get a sales pitch, they are really VERY nice genuine people there and they are just so passionate about what IIN has to offer (plus I wholeheartedly support anything they have to say, no other course covers what they cover!).

Yes, you can withdraw at the beginning of the program.

No, you don’t need to commit to anything or even talk to anyone till you sample a FREE class for yourself!

Inside the Sample Class you’ll learn:

What a Health Coach does and how they help people make lasting changes to their health and lifestyles

What to expect as a student at IIN as you train to become a Health Coach

About primary foods & bio-individuality - two core concepts of the program - and why they’re important in creating healthier, happier lives

And how IIN is leading the way to a healthcare revolution, plus the incredible activities you can engage in when you enroll at the school!

Yes, I totally think you should start with the Back to School class kicking off this September on the 18th!

But, here are other options incase you need to plan your year with more notice...

May 2018 – Monday, May 7th

July 2018 – Monday, July 16th

September 2018 – Monday, September 17th

November 2018 – Monday, November 12th

If you’re ready to join now, call an enrollment counsellor on (877) 733-1628 for US or +1 (212) 730-5433 for International and be sure to mention my name (Tanya Maher) to get your tuition savings.

If you think raw food is awesome and you like chocolate, you would've probably, most definitely, certainly, absolutely heard of Pana Chocolate!

No matter where I am in the world, I always make sure I sample the raw chocolate on offer and although I’ve tasted some pretty incredible treats, Pana Chocolate is still heading the leaderboard for their perfect combination of taste, texture, flavour, values and love marks.

Can you imagine my excitement when I heard that Pana himself (I didn’t know it was a person’s name either- ‘Pana’ sounds like the best raw chocolate in the world to me) is releasing a book AND he’s coming to London from Oz AND he wants to teach us his top recipe secrets AND he wants to do it at Tanya’s!!

Well if that’s not enough good news, how about that he is going to run this workshop for you next week, so that you have plenty of time to learn the techniques right in time for the healthiest most delicious Easter!

The recipes Pana will demonstrate are:

Chai filled chocolates
Strawberry Basil tart
Mini Lamingtons (very Aussie for you)
Bloom breakfast bars

And if all THAT is not enough, you will be the first to get an exclusive sneak peek into how we are progressing for the re-opening of Tanya’s Reinvented, sample everything we demonstrate, be able to purchase a copy of the book for only £15 (or bring yours) and have it signed by the master himself, and go home with 2 x Pana Chocolate bars!

See you there, I hope!
It’s my first workshop in over a year and numbers are super limited, so we’ll have full house in no time (don’t say I didn’t warn ya!)
Happy Friday!

I. Have. Something. Pretty BIG to tell you!

Tanya’s opened its doors to the public after a mini soft opening on 28th July 2014. It was the sunniest of all sunny days, we had more people through the doors than anticipated and managed to run out of ALL the food.

Yep, it’s true! Someone travelled for 3 hours to us on a train, only to discover that our kitchen wasn’t serving any more dishes and asked if we could scrape out any remains.

We’ve had days when we’d run out of raw carrot cake and one table would strike a deal with another to leave them a forkful. We’ve had days with queues of people stretching outside. Some were willing to eat standing! We’ve had 18-hour-work days. We’ve had juice-exploding-all-over-the-ceiling days, chocolate-melting-all-over-the-counter days, bring-your-baby-to-work days (and work-with-that-baby-strapped-to-you days) and even chef-wearing-six-inch-heels days. We’ve had days when Tanya’s was on a billboard at Knightsbridge station.

There were so many days of Tanya’s. 818 to be exact.

I wouldn’t even change one of them! After all, it is my calling to spread the message of living foods and all I’ve ever done, which truly mattered, has been because YOU asked for it.

-You asked for 1-2-1 coaching so I personalised my workshops.
-When all of your friends wanted a detox plan of their own, PDF docs were created.
-This, in turn, birthed my first eBook ‘Purified’.
-You said you lived too far away for my classes, ‘Raw Food 101’ DVD was the answer.
-Retreats were developed for those keen to live and breathe this lifestyle for a week.
-More recipes and hot tips called for ‘The Uncook Book’ to be written.
-You wanted to enjoy those recipes with a day off from the kitchen, Tanya’s cafe in Chelsea was created.

Today, after 818 days of being in operation, after a pop-up at a fitness centre and a pop-up at Selfridges, after countless events, bespoke raw cake orders, Opentable bookings, deliveries and take aways, and after the ‘Made in Chelsea’ plus ‘The Apprentice’ appearance, we know exactly what You’re after next…

You want Tanya’s cakes, juices and adventure bowls, but you want them EVEN faster and in MORE locations.

And so it shall be!

We are transforming from Tanya’s restaurant as you know it into a Tanya’s Grab’n’Go Retail shop as you want it to be.

-This will also enable us to be open more hours in the day and operate 7 days per week.
-Our expanded production capacity will mean we can finally start saying YES to other cafes and shops wanting to stock our products.
-And we’ll be joining forces with MY Kitchen, which means that if your non-vegan friends wanted to join you for lunch… all aboard!
-TanyasCafe.com plus BetterRaw.com will merge into one delicious online wellness hub.
-Aaaand our ‘Deliveroo’ home delivery menu will have more of your favourites!
-Aaaand you can expect to see me running uncookery workshops again!

In order for all of this to work, the entire ground zone of MY Chelsea hotel will need to be remodelled. This means our last day of operation will be Sunday 6th November to reopen again in Spring 2017!

There is soooo much more I want to tell you, so I’ll be keeping you in the loop via social media, even during construction.

Now, with only TWO weeks till 6th November, we’ll be running daily in-store promotions (think take-home Superfoods, free raw treats, 2 for 1 cocktails, etc), so keep an eye on Instagram (@tanyaschelsea) for all the detail.

When Sunday 6th itself rolls around, you can pop in for brunch as per usual or you can pop in for our SALE!…

I’m doing a big clear out, so everything from ingredients to equipment to supper club dishes to office stationary, will be on sale.

See you there!

On 28th July 2014, the sunniest of all sunny days, we opened the doors to Tanya’s flagship raw food restaurant and Europe’s first ever superfood cocktail bar in the heart of Chelsea London.

On exactly this date two years later, we want to get together and celebrate this amazing achievement with you guys!

As always, we will be celebrating in style with a beautiful Superfood SupperClub…

This time, we have a very VERY special guest flying over from the Food Matters Headquarters in Australia to join us on the night! It’s a real privilege to have James Colquhoun host an epic Q&A session on ‘The Future of Wellness’, so needless to say, this SupperClub evening will be a one-off event. Told you it’s a special one!

Reserve your spot on EventBrite>>

You will be welcomed with a floral summer cocktail, a probiotic appetiser of kombucha’ish soup with cultured seed cream, a protein starter of satay seaweed salad, a vibrant luxury raw food pizza for a main, a trio of the most decadent desserts, complemented by a nourishing digestive tea. For those wishing to make the most of the celebrations, we will be offering 2 for 1 cocktails, so come thirsty!

And if all that isn’t already special enough, you will be dining on the most comfortable of cushioned chairs and lowered bespoke solid wood tables, because Tanya’s is getting a make-over and you will be the first to see it!

Tickets are just £60pp or £110 for two. Seats are super limited. No refunds available.
7pm-9pm, Thursday 28th July 2016.
Held at Tanya’s inside MY Chelsea, London SW3 3QX.

FITNESS THAT FITS YOU

You love getting your green on and finding the healthiest choices for your day, and yet nutrition is only half the story of wellness. To reach optimum health you need to move your body.

But what if exercise has never really been your thing? Sure you’ve tried a lot of classes, and different types of exercise. You’ve even given yoga a really good go, but somehow you lack the consistency of approach to really see a long term difference or find the body confidence you seek.

It’s true that exercise can be hard to do, it can be challenging, overwhelming, confusing and it can be costly in time and money without always getting results.

But when it’s the right kind of movement for you, when you get into the flow and stick with it, and when you actually see and experience the benefits… the feeling that fitness gives you can be out of this world!

So what is the key to finding an approach to fitness that fits you?

Our expert panel who have a flair for fitness will share their insights and tips to connect you with that fitness freedom that you’ve been looking for. Come and join the conversation with like minded people and reap the benefits for the rest of your life.

Tanya and her alkalising welcome juice and organic energy balls will be awaiting your arrival too!
