Coach: Tamara - The MindFuelBody Coach

UESCA Ultra Run Coach & Nutritionist

Hi, I'm Tamara - The MindFuelBody Coach.

I'm a UESCA certified ultra run coach, personal trainer, and nutritionist with over 5 years of experience in the field. As a passionate plant-based ultra trail runner myself, I specialise in empowering individuals to achieve their goals through a holistic approach that emphasises the profound connection between the mind and body.

With a strong passion and focus on running, I am committed to helping runners of all levels unlock their full potential. Through mindful coaching and nutritional guidance, I aim to inspire others to discover the transformative power of running not just as a physical activity, but as a journey of self-discovery and growth.

  • "Tamara was an amazing running coach! Professional, experienced and knowledgeable. She got me marathon ready in 6 weeks, and I loved her holistic and authentic approach to coaching. She listened to my goals, preferences and needs, and created my plan to suit this. Throughout the training period Tamara was so supportive and encouraging, and celebrated every success with me. I would highly recommend, and will definitely work with Tamara again for my next challenge!"

  • “Tamara is awesome! Not only did she give me a plan that perfectly fit my goals; she gave me confidence, a life style change and encouragement to push through. She’s an amazing personality that truly wants you to succeed.”

  • "I had the pleasure of experiencing hypnotherapy practice sessions with Tamara and I would highly recommend her. Her use of visualisations is extremely powerful and really encourages you to imagine your goals with a positive mindset. She always ensured that the hypnotherapeutic visualisations she used were tailored to me as an individual and she was completely open to suggestions and feedback if I felt like something wasn't working for me."

  • ”Tamara is greatly knowledgeable and inspiring. I was never a runner, but in less than 3 months I will feel confident to run 25km thanks to her advice! She’s an all-round amazing coach who will motivate you to become the healthiest and happiest version of yourself. I’m lucky to have her by my side as a coach and as a friend.”

  • "Tamara is an excellent coach. She’s patient, reliable, flexible, and she’ll guide and help you to achieve even your most daring goals! She’s super friendly but effective. A very important aspect of my training with her was that when life got in the way (as it does!) she was always there, motivating, helping me, and adapting my plan as necessary. She actually listens to you, and this is a rare find. I highly recommend Tamara as a coach!"

  • ‘[…] to be honest you were great and more helpful than my trainers at boxing!! You know how to motivate people.[…]’

  • ‘I love training with Tamara as she is not only hardcore and motivating but she is also a very thoughtful person. She takes into account your physical state and state of health in order to make sure you’re progressing without causing any harm.’

  • ‘Tamara loves listen to you and will note down what you like to do but ensures that you’re challenging yourself in order to improve and become the best version of yourself. I’m very comfortable with her and I have no doubt she’ll make you feel the same.’

  • “I highly recommend Tamara und her expertise. I was struggling with phases of low energy and fatigue, especially after workouts. I wondered if i could tackle this with an improved diet. I consulted Tamara and she sent me a detailed nutrition plan and guided me through, explaining why this could for work me, and gave me valuable tips on top I didn’t find anywhere else. I felt and feel so much better after adopting this new habits and nutrition improvements. Thank you so much for your support, positive energy and help! It was a game changer.”
