When you are facing everyday pressure from school, work, friends, relationships, busy schedules, you can quickly feel at odds with your body or lost in your self care. Then, you layer on the mixed messages from social media and you can go down a spiral with negative thoughts on what you “should” or “shouldn’t be” doing. And that is why I’m so happy you’re here! Imagine being able to trust your body again, to take what it needs and leave what it doesn’t – this opens up space to focus on what’s really important (and fun!) in your life!

My ideal clients are endurance athletes and active people who feel stuck, either they're not performing the way they want to, or their relationship with food has become exhausting and all-consuming. Many come to me underfueling without realizing it, caught in cycles of restriction, guilt, or rigid food rules that are holding them back in sport and in life.
I help clients rebuild trust with food through a non-diet, eating disorder-informed approach — one that honors both their athletic goals and their overall wellbeing. Together, we work toward fueling that feels sustainable, freeing, and genuinely nourishing.
