Hi! I’m Ellen, a registered dietitian and personal trainer, and I’m here to help you fuel your body for health, performance, and confidence.
Whether you’re a runner, someone who enjoys staying active, or just getting started on your journey, I believe in a balanced approach to nutrition. You don’t need to cut out foods (unless you don’t like them!), any food can fit into a plan that supports your unique goals.
When we work together, you’ll learn how to fuel your body in a way that works for you, so you can stop stressing about food and focus on achieving your goals—whether that’s hitting a new PR, building strength, or simply feeling your best in your everyday life.
"From our initial consult I could tell that Ellen was invested in me as an individual. She was able to make suggestions and work around my habits. She didn't try to completely change me or my diet. Ellen was always very responsive and receptive to any and all questions that I had. At the end of our 3 months, in peak marathon training, when I should be most tired, I feel great! My long runs and workouts are fueled to perfection. My days are energized. I'm stronger because of this program. Mission accomplished. Thank you, Ellen."
-Nick C., Falls Church, VA
"Working with Ellen has been a dream come true. I've tried many diets and healthy meal plans unsuccessfully in the past, but since working with Ellen I'm finally feeling full of energy and seeing results. She not only motivates me, but holds me accountable. Ellen is just what I needed to help me become my best self."
-Beth R., Chicago, IL
"Ellen definitely knows what she’s doing and has a way of conveying her knowledge to others to create the perfect formula for both eating nutritionally and feeling better overall. I recommend Ellen to anyone who wants strong, sage advice and positive reinforcement!"
-J.O., Peoria, IL
![New Year, SAME Me - because let’s be honest, those grand resolutions often lead to a quick burnout, plus, you’re already AMAZING, okay? 🎉
This year, let’s not make it about reinventing yourself.
Let’s make it about refining the amazing person you already are and achieving some of your badass dreams. No all-or-nothing goals, just real, sustainable changes that make sense in your life.
Think: nailing that first 5k or marathon, mastering a pull-up, or swapping late-night TV for a good book. These are the tangible, feel-good shifts we’re after [unlike goals like weight loss, which is influenced by so many factors often outside your immediate influence] 🏃♀️📚
So, if you’re ready to make this year genuinely impactful without the pressure of being a ‘new you,’ let’s chat. Whether you just need one session to get you started or a more hands-on monthly program, I have something for your budget! My nutrition programs are all about setting you up for success in a way that’s real and lasting. Seriously, my goal is for you to feel confident on your own and NOT need me after we work together.
Send me a ‘NEW YEAR, SAME ME’ DM and let’s make those goals a reality. Here’s to a year of big wins and embracing the awesome person you already are🌟🥳](https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/414686650_666334929045891_8961702109669499299_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=giarIYxic8IQ7kNvgFWvSCP&_nc_oc=Adj6MIENYkCGp2JkVkQ8VRT1-jWCVsyTsxFhXLdtQJiJWHh5-9wK-QQw71-TZuVieqM&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=Asm8vWuUEWExty4xfRzRMBd&oh=00_AYBcuJliq0A_M7_G6zga-ZW3fnmQy1Ma1nqJQ6uhVRvElg&oe=67C020F6)
![Intuitive eating isn’t just eating whatever you want all day everyday. It’s not saying f*k it and going ham on a whole bag of Doritos and following it up with a milkshake because “yolo”.
But you can definitely eat Doritos and milkshakes, and whatever else you want.
Intuitive eating is the perfect blend of eating whatever you want AND making choices that respect, nourish, and care for your body.
I’ve had this question come up quite a bit lately: what if I need to make dietary changes because I have [insert health condition like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.]?
You have to learn to:
✨ trust your body
✨ choose both foods that bring joy and that nourish your body
✨ allow yourself unconditional permission to eat
If you’re used to relying on tracking macros or other diet restraints for guiding your food choices, letting go can leave you feeling like a fish out of water. Totally lost and not sure what to do (or eat).
My 1:1 program is 12 weeks of high level guidance, support, and education that will give you the tools to confidently fuel your body without the number obsession or strict food rules so that you can start spending your precious time and energy on the things that actually matter to you.
We can work on specific goals related to bloodwork or other health conditions while ALSO developing your intuitive eating skills. Or, if you’re interested in having bloodwork done, my clients get an exclusive 30% discount with InsideTracker so we can really go all in on optimizing your health.
DM me TELL ME for more info on how the program works and what you can expect if we work together 🫶](https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/372679709_350740613968292_7862109888689320074_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=gUAimxNP5owQ7kNvgHNNm5u&_nc_oc=Adg3MUCu8b-JgY_OYODhetb_nOzEmPUctITbA1qkMq-_BL4rL0bYOu6r4BidK87R_hI&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=Asm8vWuUEWExty4xfRzRMBd&oh=00_AYDcpWUFpw0g2UhF1LU2qSAmcchj69pftl4H59bApBNW7g&oe=67BFF46F)
