Parents of young athletes play an instrumental role in their fueling and athletic development.
I am in the process of developing a course for parents to learn about the nutrient needs of their athletes, easy and convenient ways to provide adequate fuel for their athletes, and ways to adapt meals and snacks to work for the whole family!
Parent Workshops
Beginning with an initial assessment, Rachel will get to know an athlete, their diet, and their training. From there, Rachel will meet an athlete for 4 follow-up visits over the next three months to work through the basics of building a fueling foundation and individualized adjustments to the athlete's fueling strategy.

I primarily work with highly competitive highschool and college athletes looking to take their performance to the next level and/or get recruited to college for athletics.
I work with athletes in a variety of sports including cross country/track, hockey, rowing, basketball, football, swimming, and more.
If you are not a high school or college athlete, but are still interested in my services, book a discovery call and let's see if working together is a good fit!
I believe that while supplements are not essential to athletic performance, they can sometimes be a helpful tool to optimize an athlete's diet and recovery.
This being said, when working with young athletes, I educate athletes on the safe and prudent usage of dietary supplements.
For athletes under the age of 18, I encourage athletes to discuss with their guardian before considering or implementing any dietary supplement.
