QUEM ENSINA?
Individual
Consultancy
It is possible to better organize your routine, earn money and maintain mental health.
This is the purpose of my Individual Consultancy for bakers.
Did you know that in 90% of cases, you can produce up to 50% more in the same time and with the same equipment you have today, leaving you time to plan the future and, most importantly, to rest?
Being immersed in our own business often prevents us from seeing clearly where the points that hinder our growth are, such as:
Where you are always putting out fires and never managing to organize and improve to work fully and more fluidly.
Because what your offer today may not match the current market or what you want for your brand. Did you know that an efficient menu is one of the pillars to see your company develop?
Where most bakers feel bad about charging fairly and consistent with their own work and market.
To be able to handle so many fronts without feeling overwhelmed.
Which can be much more fluid and professional.
Without ready-made marketing formulas, in a way that makes sense to you.
Yes, you can work rested, 100% present, with the feeling that things are in place and flowing!
LET’S GO TOGETHER?
QUEM ENSINA?
WHO IT’S FOR:
— For bakers who are just starting out or have been in the market for years, and seek to have a mature and profitable business that reflects their own identity, in a light way and respecting their processes.
— For bakers who want to start teaching but don't know where to start structuring how, prices, workload, etc.
ABOUT THE CONSULTANCY
There will be 4 online meetings, filled with all my experience in building a business from scratch and reaching an average production of 12 thousand sweets per month. I will help you find which aspects of your work need to be transformed so that you can also reach a new level in your career as an artisan confectioner. The consultancy is personalized according to your objectives, and the topics covered may be:
Your business is your story:
On the first meeting, I want to get to know you, your story, your journey to where you are today. Let's identify your goals and dreams to understand how to achieve them!
How to reach a fair selling price:
Here we will talk about valuing your work and how you place yourself in the market. Together we will go through your expenses with a fine-toothed comb to see what can be improved. I want to help you perceive yourself differently, more fairly and coherently with you. In addition to this emotional part, I will guide you in relation to the numbers and data that involve a fair price. Yes, because, through data, we are more confident when it comes to saying the price.
Routine organization:
A possible and healthy routine is the secret to peaceful and quality production. Here I will show you ways to organize yourself that are compatible with your reality, starting from the materials, methods and equipment you use, to changes you can make to make your routine more productive.
Menu:
Your products are the star of your business! Knowing how to define which highlights and products are worth it, understanding whether that type or flavor has to do with the characteristics of your brand, whether the look and language are consistent with your niche, are essential for the balance of your business.
Planning:
I'm going to share with you what worked for me in terms of planning my routine, my week, my orders. The production routine of bakers can be very hectic, and it is very easy to get into a state of disorganization. That's why I want to show you how I organized my shopping list model, cleaning schedule, week planning, including rest planning, breaks, day-to-day tasks outside the kitchen, among other things that changed the way I deal with the job.
How to get more customers:
Let's talk about fundamental things to attract more people to consume your products. What niche do you want to follow? Weddings? Children's parties? Small orders and gifts? Corporate? Supplying coffees? I explain the positive and negative points that I experienced with each of these scenarios, to help you choose which one makes the most sense for you. When choosing a niche, what strategies can we use? These were strategies that took me from 400 sweets a month to 12 thousand. These are things that worked at the time, but I also share things that I would do with the maturity and market knowledge I have today.
See what they're saying
A fresh perspective from someone who has been through the same thing as you, can work wonders for your business. Take a look at the opinions of some bakers who have already been through my Consultancy:
“I'm stopping by to thank you for all your support and attention! Our sessions were fundamental for structuring the front store!
Our production has been crazy... In less than a month, we went from making around 2,000 macarons a month to more than 6,000 units. It is an exercise in daily organization and planning.
And finally, I want to thank you once again! I have no words to express how important you were and have been in this process. You are a great inspiration and an incredible teacher! Soon, I’ll ask you again for a new round of consultancy, okay?”
“My dear teacher! The queen!
Reading the testimonials made me want to write my own!
I didn't know how to start and then I remembered why I looked for you: I didn't know what to do to increase my productivity.
I didn't have the money to pay you, but I knew it was necessary to start.
So, in conversation with my husband/advisor/partner and CEO (hahaha) we decided to take the risk, as we were sure it would work.
And that was EXACTLY what happened!
We reduced the cost of macarons, increased production by 30%, managed to implement the long-awaited color stock, bought a new oven outright and also invested in the purchase of a freezer.
Not to mention, the success on the menu with your encouragement to add two more flavors.
There were countless gains, I could mention many others.
We will definitely renew the consultancy.
The sessions were unforgettable, with a lot of learning, reflections, changes and lots and lots of good laughs!
Thank you for everything and for so much!
God bless you.
A big hug, I miss you!”
“I did the mentoring with Nat at the beginning of 2023. I was in a moment of transition to focus 100% on macarons. And then I needed to better understand the production processes and time optimization.
Structure and truly perceive myself as a company - as an entrepreneur. To my great surprise, the meetings were filled with an attentive, careful look, including those focused on health and self-love. Nat focuses on the essences, and makes a point of reminding you where you came from, everything you achieved, from the small to the big dream. That's why I like her so much, because she is human and studies what is possible to do with her current conditions and what she can do to improve or move beyond!
I’m full of gratitude!”
“Hi, Natália!
Just wanted to share some feedback after some of our business consulting sessions. First and foremost, your suggestions regarding time management have been the MOST helpful. It has changed the way I bake and organize my days, so that I'm not completely inundated leading up to orders. Given time constraints on my end, this has been life changing.
I was eager to implement all of your feedback regarding my site/ordering process, and I've already noticed improvements in that arena as well.
I've truly taken into account all of your advice, and the wealth of knowledge you have in not only the macaron world, but in the business world.
l appreciate your encouragement and words of wisdom and I'm always excited to chat with you! Thanks for everything so far, and I'm excited for the future.”
“A special thank you to my mentor Nat Mendonça who has guided me through the process of shooting a course, so selflessly sharing her knowledge with me be she has recorded a course herself (which I have taken and it's awesome by the way)”
“Thank you for all of the work you have done to help me become more confident in my macarons. I truly truly appreciate all of the help and the tools you have given me
I am 100% happy that I chose your classes and your mentorship, Natalia.”
“Consulting with Nat was far better than I expected. I've taken many of Nat's amazing online courses.
However, consulting with her was the cherry on top! She is so diligent, caring, detail oriented, genuine, and an amazing teacher. The personable experience with the consulting | received is unmatched. Absolutely loved my time with Nat. It was so sweet.”
“The moment I learned that you offered 1:1 consulting, I was filled with excitement. I was like ‘Woohoo, yes!’. It was such fantastic news!
This time spent with you has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you for your guidance and support. Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to me!
I am grateful for the boost in confidence you have given me when it comes to teaching classes.
I am truly fortunate to have met you and to have you as a part of my journey!
Thank you! Xoxo”

QUEM ENSINA?
Natália Mendonça
Hi, I’m Nat, pastry chef, specialist in macarons, graduated in French Pastry at Alain Ducasse Education in Yssingeaux, France.
I started making macarons in 2009, challenged by someone who doubted my abilities. I started my pastry studio from scratch, with no resources and little self-esteem. And after a lot of strategic work, I was being recommended by the best wedding professionals in my city, with an average of 12 thousand sweets delivered per month. That’s when I learned how to produce on a large scale while maintaining consistency in quality and leading a team. In 2014, I started teaching small groups, but my passion for teaching took me further: through online courses, since 2016, I have shared my expertise with students in more than 107 countries – all with great care.
I’ve always been passionate about traveling and getting to know new people and cultures, so I’m proud to say that today I continue on my mission of teaching people from all over how to make quality macarons. This whole trajectory gave me great know-how about what works and what doesn’t in a pastry business, that’s when I started helping bakers to not only make good sweets, but to produce in an optimized way, building a career in success and making a lot of profit.
Now, it’s your turn to come with me and make the most of our time together, focused on your reality and your business!
This is an opportunity for you to improve your production skills and increase the quality and efficiency of your products. You are the center of your business, and it is possible to be a powerful baker with results, without giving up your health and comfort. Come with me!
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
The consultancy program has 4 meetings and the spacing between them depends on your pace. Some students schedule appointments weekly, others biweekly. It largely depends on your routine and your time to do what is proposed in the meetings.
For sure! Taking this step with guidance from someone who has already built a business from scratch will help you get started in the best possible way, with confidence and awareness of what is needed.
When registration is complete, you will receive a link with my schedule and you can then select the best time and day for you.
Yes! Meetings are held via Zoom and you receive instructions and an access link, and can participate via cell phone or computer.
You will have access to the Consultancy Members Area, where you can browse the content there and leave your questions. You can also send it by email at contatonatmendonca@gmail.com.
Questions are answered by me. If you need help with your login and password, just send an email to contato@natmendonca.com.
Yes, it is, and that is what happens in 95% of consulting cases. I like to keep the number of meetings to 4 so that we can start and end a cycle, being able to better understand the before and after. But you will always have new projects and dreams and we can evolve in each of them.
