As mountain athletes, we are constantly pushing our limits physically and mentally - in a constant pursuit of performance and reaching “the flow state”.

Many of us also seek a lifestyle that aligns with our values as stewards for the environment we move in while promoting long-term health and disease prevention. How we eat and train is tightly connected to all of this.

As a performance nutritionist and endurance coach specializing in helping plant-based athletes fuel and perform better, I’m here to support you in fueling that optimal and beautiful flow state that exists between mindful performance, long-term health, and environmental sustainability through good food and meaningful movement. With an applied & evidence-based approach to endurance nutrition education and personalized coaching and consulting, my goal is to change the way you experience life as an athlete.

Growing up steeped in mountain culture and endurance athletics from a young age in the small town of Hailey, Idaho, I’ve cultivated a love for pushing my body to its limits on the bike, running, and nordic ski trails. My obsession with human performance as a competitive athlete led me to pursue a degree in Integrative Physiology from the University of Colorado and eventually a master’s degree in Applied Nutrition. I host the podcast called In The Flow, which explores the intersections between endurance sport and nutrition, mindfulness and sustainability, and beyond to fuel the flow of meaningful movement. I’m an accredited Performance Nutritionist through the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Registry and a professional member of Professionals in Nutrition for Exercise and Sport.

In addition to educating and consulting with athletes on nutrition, I coach youth endurance athletes, help with recipe development and cooking for a plant-based food truck, and am an avid sourdough baker.

I’ve become an advocate for a plant-based dietary pattern for long-term health, environmental sustainability, and compassion towards animals, plus fueling the lives of athletes. My general philosophy is that food is woven through every aspect of our lives and impacts us as athletes, humans, and members of Planet Earth. As such, we should strive to eat in a way that balances long-term nourishment with performance, environmental sustainability, and compassion without obsessing too much about the details. It’s possible to have the best of both worlds.

When I’m not podcasting, coaching, or studying the sports nutrition literature, you can find me suffering in the mountains, baking sourdough, or drinking fancy coffee.
