Nicole helps athletes do what most never fully learn:
use food as a performance tool—not a source of stress, confusion, or restriction.
Her philosophy is simple but powerful: when your body is properly fueled, you unlock the ability to train harder, recover faster, think clearer, and perform longer. Nutrition is not about perfection—it’s about strategy. Every athlete’s body, training load, schedule, and preferences are different, and your fueling plan should reflect that.
Nicole believes that all foods can fit into a healthy performance-based lifestyle—and she teaches athletes exactly when, why, and how to use different foods to support training, competition, recovery, sleep, hydration, and mental focus. There are real physiological reasons certain foods enhance performance and others hinder it, and Nicole translates that science into practical, real-life systems athletes can actually follow.
In 1:1 performance nutrition coaching, Nicole helps athletes:
• Understand their unique energy and macronutrient needs
• Fuel around training for strength, endurance, and recovery
• Build weekly nutrition game plans that work with real schedules, budgets, and food preferences
• Improve stamina, muscle recovery, focus, and consistency
• Break free from restrictive food rules that sabotage performance
With proper fueling, athletes don’t just train—they adapt, rebuild, and exceed their physical limits.

From Elite Athlete to Elite Performance Nutritionist
Nicole’s work is rooted in both personal experience and deep clinical expertise.
She was a 4-year, full-ride scholarship Division I collegiate gymnast at The Ohio State University, where she experienced firsthand the pressure, discipline, physical demand, and mental toll of elite-level sport. She knows what it feels like to train exhausted, to compete under pressure, and to balance performance with long-term health.
That experience led her to pursue a career in sports nutrition—so athletes wouldn’t have to guess how to fuel at the highest level.
