EDUCATION & CERTIFICATIONS

I am a Level 1 Certified Precision Nutrition Coach since 2018 and hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition and Exercise Science. My degree studies included foundational and advanced sciences such as biochemistry, anatomy & physiology and exercise physiology. I also studied basic and advanced nutrition, research methods, cognitive behavior therapy, habit change and program planning.

In 2021, I completed 35 hours of specialized training in sex specific physiology and nutrition with Dr. Stacy Sims in her first “Women are not Small Men” online cohort.

I hold certifications in sports performance nutrition for children, adolescents, teens and adults. Since 2022, I enjoy volunteering my time educating local sports teams on performance nutrition. 

In 2023, I completed a rigorous 60 hour Certificate of Training in Adult and Pediatric Obesity through the Commission on Dietetic Registration. America is facing an obesity crisis and I learned from some of the top experts in the field including dietitians, psychologists and medical doctors. This training included live lectures and hours spent reading the latest research on weight loss with a final exam for certification. This is considered a “gold standard” certification by nutrition professionals.

I am currently pursuing post-grad board certification in wellness coaching through NBHWC (National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching) and expect to complete this in 2025. I am always researching, learning and bettering myself to provide my clients with knowledge, skills and success in reaching their health goals.

PERSONAL LIFE

I turned 50 in 2023 and I am married for almost 20 years to my husband Chris! We are blessed with 3 daughters, Michaela, Sofia and Daniella. My passions are found in my Christian faith, my family & friends, our golden doodles Buttons & Ruby, living an active & healthy lifestyle, cooking & meal planning, and helping athletes #eat2compete and women #eat2live.

COACHING STYLE

As your coach, I have years of experience having coached over 100 people since 2018 in macro-based nutrition coaching. I also developed a blend of coaching styles that I utilize to be able to personalize my coaching to YOU and your specific needs, background and life situation. Incorporating mindset work is always part of every program I design because a healthy mind is necessary for a healthy body! I want to help you feel & look your best from the inside out. You deserve to live with energy, strength and confidence at every age and I would love to help you do it!
