The Runner's Dietitian Approach

My approach isn’t about restrictive eating or obsessing over the scale. Instead, I’m here to help you fuel your body effectively, feel confident in your skin, and make changes, whether that’s improving performance, supporting body composition goals, or simply feeling your best.

​

Together, we’ll explore your current habits, limiting beliefs around food and exercise, and goals to create a personalized plan that works for your training, lifestyle, and overall well-being.

 

Whether you want to crush your next PR, build healthier habits, or achieve balance in your nutrition, we’ll strategize to set you up for success both in your sport and in everyday life.

​

This is about empowering you to take hold of your health, build confidence, and create a sustainable approach to food and movement that aligns with your life and what matters most to you.

Get to Know Me

I help runners, active individuals, and those looking to get healthier through personalized, practical nutrition strategies that fit their goals and lifestyle. As a registered dietitian and certified personal trainer, I bring a well-rounded understanding of exercise science and nutrition to guide my clients in achieving better performance, recovery, and overall well-being.

 

Beyond working with clients, I teach nutrition at a local university, where I have the privilege of educating future healthcare professionals. I'm also a health and wellness writer, sharing evidence-based insights and practical tips to help people feel confident and empowered in their nutrition and wellness choices.

​

Whether you’re a seasoned runner, someone who enjoys staying active, or you're just starting your fitness journey, I’m here to support you in fueling your body effectively. From improving athletic performance to building healthy habits or working toward weight management goals, I focus on creating sustainable, realistic strategies tailored to you.

​

When I’m not working, you’ll find me out for a run, building strength in my garage gym, squeezing in a yoga session, or relaxing with a good book (or some binge-worthy reality TV). I also love soaking up time with my husband, two kids, and our 3 dogs.

"My history is pretty common - it was the same cycle, I was overly restrictive and then binged on unhealthy foods. It wasn’t sustainable so it never worked. Then I started using a simple guide designed by Ellen. Instead of the restrictive approach (which I thought was the key to healthy eating), she focused on items what I should be incorporating into every meal. I shifted the focus off of all the stuff I should avoid, and started thinking about what I need to include. I am so happy I made these changes!"

"If you are a yo-yo dieter, bound or trapped by food, or feel like you are doing all you can but are stuck in a rut, contact Ellen--she's knowledgable, patient, & just plain awesome!"

When I started working with Ellen she spent time getting to know me and my eating habits.  She reviewed what a typical day for me looks like including what time I get up, when and what I usually eat etc. She was not judgmental at all, which was a big relief.  She just listened to me and my concerns before giving me any advice. She prepared a tailored plan for me based on my dietary restrictions as well as likes and dislikes. She is extremely personable, kind, but tough when you need her to be. I could not be happier with her support!"
