What you get from 1:1 coaching
Improved athletic performance
We combine the most up-to-date performance nutrition science with your preferences, schedule, and lived experiences to create a customized performance nutrition plan that will help you achieve your performance goals.
More energy
Together, we'll create a customized, flexible fueling plan that will help you achieve sustained energy levels throughout the day.
A more positive relationship with food
This serves as a strong foundation to being able to sustainably implement food and nutrition strategies that can help improve your health and performance. We practice through a non-diet, intuitive eating lense to make sure you have the tools you need to create and foster a life-long healthy relationship with food & your body.
Knowing what to eat during activity
Together, we'll create a competition day fueling plan so you can feel confident knowing what, when, and how much of which foods to eat on game/race/competition day. We'll navigate what to eat in case of nerves, low appetite from heightened adrenaline levels, and develop an individualized fueling plan to give you that competitive edge you might otherwise miss without an adequate fueling & hydration plan.
Optimized recovery
Feel stronger, less sore, and more energized during training, practices, and games. With personalized nutrition plans tailored to your needs, you'll learn how to incorporate specific foods and supplements that have been shown to support muscle recovery and reduce soreness.
Improved body image
Diet culture, weight stigma, and body shaming run rampant in our society & the athletic community. We believe your weight/body size doesn't define your worth or your health, and that you deserve to feel your absolute best without focusing on trying to change your body. We are trained in body image work and help athletes improve their body image through compassionate, weight-inclusive care.
