Meet Nathalia

Hi, I’m Nathalia Ramos An. I’m an actress, producer, and most importantly, a mom. I started my acting career at a young age and had the great privilege to work consistently for over a decade, most notably in Bratz: The Movie and Nickelodeon’s House of Anubis. These experiences profoundly shaped me and I never imagined doing anything else. Then I got to college and a whole new world opened up to me. I studied Political Science at USC and fell in love. This sent me on a new journey that ended up at the Berggruen Institute. Today, I co-lead Studio B., the in-house production department at the Institute where we develop impact-driven entertainment. For me, this is a dream job - the perfect blend of my passion for film and academia.

I met my husband, Derek, in high school and we have been together ever since. He has always been my greatest champion and together we have supported each other through all our biggest life changes. As two incredibly career driven people, I don’t think either of us expected how much our greatest milestone of all would change us. Like any parent will tell you, having kids changed our lives in the most profound and remarkable way. New priorities and passions led us on a new path. What started with concerns over microplastics and the enormous challenge it was to avoid them with our first born, led to a growing interest in family health and well-being. Over time, we became increasingly aware of the hidden toxins in everyday products—from misleading food labels to toys and even clothing. At the same time, I was juggling the challenges of being a full-time, working mom. Derek encouraged me to share my experience and Whole Bunch Club was born. 

It started with a spreadsheet I created to track all the products we were using and share information with friends. That eventually turned into this blog, where my friend Victoria and I partnered up to share what we’ve learned, recommend products grounded in research, and build a trusted community of fellow moms. But I also believe that well-being goes beyond what we consume. In today’s world, families are more isolated than ever. The decline of the “village” is a topic I am incredibly passionate about and will be exploring in depth on this blog. Living in a multi-cultural, multi-generational home as I do is certainly not the norm, but I am excited to share more about our chosen lifestyle - lessons, struggles, and all! 

So, thank you for being here and please, reach out, share your feedback, and join our WBC fam!

Meet Victoria

Hi, I’m Victoria! I’m so excited to share a little bit about myself and my journey with you here at Whole Bunch Club. Motherhood, wellness, and intentional living have become such big parts of my life, but it wasn’t always that way. My path to where I am now has been full of learning, growth, and a lot of trial and error.

From Fast-Paced Work Life to Full-Time Motherhood

My husband and I have been together since 2018, and we now have two beautiful kids who completely changed my world. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I worked at Chipotle. Going back to work after he was born was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Even though he was home with my husband, who worked remotely at the time, I was exhausted and struggled with being away from him. Then, life shifted for our family. My husband accepted a new job, and we moved to Orange County. Without any family nearby to help, we decided that the best decision for our family was for me to stay home with our son. It was a huge transition—going from working outside the home to being fully present with my baby every day—but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

The Wake-Up Call That Changed Everything

Not long after settling into our new life in OC, we found out we were expecting our second baby. This was such an exciting time, but it was also when I started to question so many things about my health and our lifestyle. Pregnancy has a way of making you hyper-aware of what you’re putting in and on your body, and I became curious about how I could make better choices for my growing family.

This curiosity led me down a rabbit hole of research and another big life shift. In 2023, I took a big step in my wellness journey and got certified as a Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I didn’t do it with the intention of turning it into a full-time career—I did it because I wanted to educate myself and be confident in the choices I was making for my family. Through this program, I learned so much about holistic health, nutrition, and the importance of balance. It wasn’t just about food—it was about lifestyle, mindset, and finding what truly works for each individual.

Now, my passion is helping other moms feel empowered to make healthier choices without the pressure of being “perfect.” Whether it’s switching to non-toxic cleaning products, choosing better beauty alternatives, or simply learning to listen to your body, I believe that small changes add up to a big impact. My goal isn’t to tell anyone what they should do—it’s to share what I’ve learned, what’s worked for me, and create a space where others feel supported in their own journey.

I’m so excited to connect with you all, share my favorite swaps, and make it easier for you to find what works best for your family. We’re all in this together, and I can’t wait to grow alongside this amazing community!
