A Model with a Message
Natalya Yunitskaya-Osipenko is redefining beauty standards as a professional model in the 50+ category. Representing elegance, authenticity, and confidence, she brings visibility to mature women in fashion. Frequently seen in brand campaigns and on international runways, she also models the exquisite creations of renowned Belarusian designer Natalia Minina.
A Philosophy of Natural Balance
In a world that often equates beauty with cosmetic enhancements, Natalya chooses a different path—one rooted in holistic living. At 59, she embraces natural beauty and wellness through clean eating, gentle skincare, and a deep connection with nature and self.
Her Beauty Beliefs
“I’ve never used invasive treatments or injections,” says Natalya. “I rely solely on natural creams and occasionally visit a cosmetologist for facial massages. I truly believe that outer beauty reflects our inner health—shaped by our lifestyle and nutrition.” 
Every three years, she visits Ayurvedic clinics in Kerala, India, undergoing detox treatments that help maintain her vitality and radiance.
From Educator to Artist
Natalya holds university degrees in both education and law. She began her career as a physics teacher and later rose to a senior position in the customs service, ultimately earning the rank of Third Class Customs Service Advisor.
At age 43, she embarked on a creative transformation. Discovering a passion for photography, she relocated to a new city, trained with top mentors, and established herself as a successful visual artist. Her solo exhibitions have been featured across Belarus, Germany, Italy, and Russia.
The Indian Influence
India holds deep significance in Natalya’s personal and professional life. After years of studying Ayurveda, she developed her own educational program to share this ancient wisdom with others.
For Natalya, sincerity is the essence of true beauty—and her life is a living example that real beauty comes from within.
