Why did you start coaching? I love connecting with people. It's so rewarding to help people sort through the misinformation that's out there surrounding nutrition and training and helping them find a sustainable plan that works for their goals and their lifestyle. There's not much better than helping people become healthier and feel better!
What is your coaching style? Understanding, encouraging, and realistic. I want to help you fit your diet into your life, not your life into your diet.
What kinds of clients do you work with? As a registered dietitian, I've worked with a variety of clients who have a variety of needs, including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, cancer survivors, PCOS, hypothyroidism, post-menopausal, Crossfit athletes, endurance athletes, strength goals, hypertrophy goals, and general healthy lifestyle improvement!
What is your favorite part of coaching? The non-scale victories. Clothes fitting better, feeling more energetic, doing more reps or more weight in the gym, not getting out of breath doing something that used to wear you out, feeling like you're creating healthier habits, learning how to incorporate all foods into your diet, having a better relationship with food!
What type of client would be the best fit to work with you? Anyone willing to be coachable, who wants to learn, and is ready to commit. Anyone with general health goals or performance goals, together we can find what works for you while incorporating the scientific principles proven to work.
What you'll get:
Choose from plans structured by an RP coach, each tailored to achieve your specific needs and backed by science. Whether you opt for a diet plan, a training plan, or a combination of both, you'll receive 1:1 expert guidance from your coach via email exchange with very little left to chance.
- Diet Plan: Focus on your nutritional goals with a customized diet plan. Your coach will help you dial in your macros, whether you aim to lose fat or gain muscle. Full meal plans/recipes will not be provided but you will receive guidance on the proper amount of protein, carbs, and fats to consume daily with a list of recommended foods!
- Training Plan: Focused solely on weight training with a plan designed to fit your fitness level and goals. Please check with our help desk if you have sport-specific training goals.
- Combo Plan: Get the best of both worlds with a plan that integrates diet and training for comprehensive progress.
With all plans, you are expected to proactively check in with your coach twice a week with updates and questions. It's important to note that the coach will respond to your updates rather than initiate contact on their end. Your coach will monitor your weekly progress through these check-ins and make any necessary adjustments for you based on your feedback.
You'll have unlimited email access to your coach, ensuring you get timely responses to your queries: within 24 hours on weekdays and 48 hours on weekends (May vary based on the coach's schedule). Your feedback and questions are necessary for your coach to make the most informed decisions on your behalf for your plan so do not be shy about contacting them for help!
