Virtual, customized nutrition support
for injured athletes & active indiviudals
- Not being able to lift or run or move is driving you crazy.
- That little voice in your head is worried that you’re losing time to improve your game. How are you going to get better with so much time away?
- You finally felt like your body was in a good place and Coach is going to get off your back.
- You feel like you had this nutrition thing down pat before, but now everything is different.
- After your injury, your friend brought you “get well soon” cookies, but you left them untouched on the counter for days. I mean…all you’re doing is sitting on the couch right now, right? You’ll have cookies once you’re on the field again.
If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right spot:
Why let food add more stress to your life?
You’re already in a tough situation.
- We could catapult your healing by using nutrition as the building block, while you (literally) rebuild a piece of your body.
- You got to relax your white-knuckle grip on your nutrition steering wheel. Instead, your favorite, most indulgent foods are incorporated unapologetically.
- Choosing foods and meals felt easy. You’re no longer overthinking what's on your plate because you have the clarity and step-by-step direction on how to fuel your body on and off the field.

Welcome to
This word earns itself an entire pillar because it’s something I see rehabbers struggle with over and over and over again. Let me be a cheerleader on your shoulder to remind you of The Injury RD golden rule: Treat yourself how you like to treat others.
Find kindness
We’re going to look at the road ahead, use a specific science-backed strategy to see all your road bumps, and I’m going to guide you through them like a nice, little driver’s ed teacher with the patience of a saint.
Discover your speed bumps
If you’ve ever been to therapy, you’ll know that typically the first thing therapists do is pull out a long list of value traits and make you circle your top 5. We’re going to define what you find to be most important. In therapy, it’s about Big Life Decision-making. With me, it’s more like making “should I go get seconds?” a super easy question to answer.
Identify your core values around food
fuel your comeback from the inside out

Everyone is welcome. Many of my athletes have tendon/ligament troubles (ACL, Achilles, Tommy John, labrum, etc.) that resulted in surgeries. Many are experiencing bone fractures or stress reactions. I also feel very strongly about nutrition’s role in concussion recovery. Whatever your injury is, nutrition is playing a role in your healing efforts.
