a team of RD's that specialize in weight inclusive care and utilize an evidence based approach for individuals who want to improve their health without dieting.
Your approach to nutrition should be too.
You're one of a kind.
Food should be a wonderful and joyful PART of your life, but it should not be consuming all of your thoughts. The best gift we can give to clients is their health back, both physically and mentally while also giving them the gift of learning how to be present and calm in situations that involve or revolve around food.
Imagine if you had that brain space back.
"Is this too much?", "Will this hurt my stomach later?" Does this have too much sugar?" "Is this too many carbs?", "Tomorrows workout needs to be longer so I can make up for what I ate today."
If any of those phrases sound familiar to you, you are in the right place. It does not need to be this way anymore, and there is a way to be healthy without obsessing.
You find yourself thinking about food 24/7..
Discover a healthy relationship to food.

Apply to work with us to Fuel your Fitness
We have a passion for helping active individuals understand the complexities and nuances that go into properly fueling their activity. All too often athletes typically lack education on how to fuel before, during and after their exercise, which can lead to increased risk of injury, poor energy levels, trouble understanding their hunger and fullness, loss of period and more.
Our team can help educate the athletes we work with in understanding how to properly build their plates to meet their needs, how to fuel for a goal (like a marathon) or how to recover from an injury and reduce their risk of reoccurring injuries. Just because some things are normalized with athletes (fatigue, missed menstrual cycles, GI issues, etc) does not mean it’s normal or healthy and our team is trained to help you feel your best while reaching your exercise goals!
