About Michele
I help women and athletes relearn how to fuel and nourish their body & mind without diets.
Diet culture tells us we need to look, eat and move a certain way to have greater worth and value. It causes confusion with food choices, food guilt, restriction, poor body image, and moving as a form of punishment rather than enjoyment.
I bring awareness to diet culture and its negative effects in order to help others break free and live healthier, happier lives. Using an intuitive eating approach, I work with clients to improve confidence in their food choices and relationship with food, body and movement.
I have always loved sport and fitness, however my passion for empowering others through nutrition didn’t begin until my mid-twenties. Dietetics is my second degree and career. I received my first degree from University of Notre Dame in Business-Marketing. After a year of playing professional soccer in Germany and the US, I worked at Gatorade in business development. Part of my role at Gatorade was to educate athletes, teams, coaches and athletic trainers on sports nutrition. I loved learning the science behind sports nutrition, educating the athletes and began wanting more involvement and a greater impact on the Athlete's nutrition. This brought me back to school in pursuit of becoming a nutrition expert, a Registered Dietitian.
Coupling my expertise in food, nutrition and vast experiences in sports, I am a credible voice of reason, encouragement, and guidance in this crazy chaotic world of food. I provide comprehensive client-centered nutritional therapy, partnering with each client in order to find what works best for them. I provide one-on-one and small group coaching, as well as wellness workshops, and am a nutrition expert speaker and writer. I am blessed to have helped 1000’s and hopeful to help hundreds of thousands more.
