Empower. With. Experience.
Are you a dancer, dance parent, or dance educator who values a supportive and balanced approach to health? As a TTP Ambassador, you believe that all dancers deserve to eat and dance in a way that feels free from dancer diet culture.
About the program
TTP Ambassadors embrace the journey of becoming The Healthy Dancer® by sharing real experiences that empower others and help shift the industry away from restrictive eating. Together, we normalize nourishment: fueling for performance, rest, and a sustainable relationship with food.
- Shift the dance industry
- Normalize eating as an experience
- Destigmatize food
- Empower positive mealtime habits
Hi! I’m Rachel
I’m a former professional dancer turned Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. I’ve dedicated my career to supporting dancers in healing from dancer diet culture (ya know… those confusing messages telling you what’s “good” and what’s “bad” for performance?).
My approach continues to prove successful with the thousands of dancers who work to implement my approach to fueling for performance and building a supportive relationship with both food and body.
After years of following Rachel and TTP, I decided to apply to be an ambassador. I was so honored to participate in this program, as the advice, guidance, and science provided by Rachel helped me through some difficult times as a dancer myself. I loved being able to share my own recipes, my story and dance journey, sharing photos of my best looking food, and more! If you are looking for a way to involve yourself more in the TTPN community, this is the way.

Being The Healthy Dancer means I am able to acknowledge how I’m fueling my body without obsessing over it. The ability to be mindful and make smart choices whilst still feeling satisfied. I can acknowledge when I am feeling low energy and provide my body with that extra fuel I need. I can make decisions to help my body do what it needs to do, and I’m so grateful for all the things my body does for me, and by giving it the right fuel, that’s the least I can do. To sum it up, The Healthy Dancer means repaying my body for all the amazing things it does for me.

Throughout my journey in the arts I have worked towards further developing a positive relationship with food, and have used To The Pointe Nutrition as a leading resource. Being a TTP ambassador has been nothing but a positive experience, not to mention an incredibly valuable program that covers all aspects of food in ways I didn’t even know were possible! I am so grateful for the amount of knowledge and support I have received from Rachel, and would absolutely recommend working with her to anyone wanting to fix, nourish, and enhance their relationship with food.

It has been an amazing opportunity. I loved working with Rachel and learning new ways to empower my students and myself in the studio. Rachel is such valuable asset to the Dance World and being a TTP ambassador is a great way to connect with her and other dancers who have similar struggles as ours. I enjoyed sharing the weekly templates, recipe ideas and what a day in my life looked like as a dancer, wife, and dance teacher. I LOVED participating in the Healthy Dancer Summer Intensive: the workshops, masterclasses, and nutrition sessions. So much valuable information was shared with us and saved in a portal that gave us the flexibility to watch in in our own time. If you have the opportunity and are interested in Nutrition or want to stop the taboo of food in your life, I would definitely say APPLY to become a TTP ambassador. There is so much you can learn!
TTP Ambassador Camille
I have been dancing for 13 years. For 9 of those years I trained in all styles, I recently made the switch to focusing on ballet at the Columbia Conservatory of Dance in South Carolina. Fueling my body properly is extremely imperative to my performance and my mentality as a pre-professional ballet student!
Heather dances with the internationally acclaimed dance company MOMIX. Heather holds a BFA in dance from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. Heather is also a Wellness Advocate, Certified Yoga Teacher, and a certified Animal Flow® Instructor. Heather has a passion for healing and advocates for social justice, wildlife, and the Earth.
Camille is a Dance Educator in Panama City. As one of the owners of Balans Ballet and Fitness Center, her goal is to create an environment for dancers that fosters growth and discipline in a healthy environment. After graduating from NYU with a BA and a minor in Nutrition, she found her work matched perfectly with TTP’s philosophy and applied to become a TTP ambassador.
Being a TTP Nutrition Ambassador has been such an incredible experience. Throughout this past year, this program has been so helpful to me. Especially when I was away at a summer intensive and was still able to participate in all the masterclasses and workshops! I truly feel like my time as a TTP ambassador has helped me heal my relationship with food and understand the importance of fueling my body as an active dancer.
TTP Ambassador Campbell
Alana is a dancer at Next Generation Ballet. This is my third year dancing in Tampa since I moved from Illinois. Being a TTP Ambassador has been an amazing experience. It was wonderful having the ability to connect with different dancers. I especially loved the summer intensive with different workshops and masterclasses. If you are considering applying for this program you definitely should. I have learned so much and am forever grateful for this program.
Ilona is a pre-professional ballet dancer at Miami City Ballet School as well as a full-time high school student! As a TTP Ambassador, Ilona learned how to navigate her busy schedule and fuel her body properly. Not only did she improve her relationship with food, but she became passionate about helping other dancers in similar situations.
Emma received the majority of her training with the International Ballet Academy in Bellevue, WA. She graduated from IBA’s Professional Division in 2022, after two years performing with them as an International Ballet Theatre member. Emma is a freelance artist in the Seattle area and has performed with Dance Conservatory Seattle, Westlake Dance Center, The Guild Dance Company, Evoke Productions’ Full Tilt, guesting with local ballet studios, and other independently produced projects.
I would not be where I am today without Rachel and To The Pointe Nutrition. Not only did she help me navigate the diet culture of the ballet world, but she was a friend, someone who knew exactly what I was going through because she had experienced it herself. Through the Healthy Dancer Summer Intensive and one-on-one sessions with Rachel, I learned that food is fuel, not something to be earned or feared. (Not to mention, food is also delicious!) Being a TTP Ambassador was also an incredible experience, it helped me on my own journey while being able to promote food freedom to others!
