About Your Dietitian
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.)
I’d love for you to join the thousands of dancers who work to implement my unique, 6-step approach. The Healthy Dancer® teaches you how to fuel for performance in a way that builds supportive relationships with both food and body.
Here’s what dancers are saying
Working with Rachel has been life-changing for me in recovery from my eating disorder and in healing my relationship with food!
Rachel is absolutely amazing! Not only has she taught me everything I know about nutrition, but she is THE BEST to work with; patient, compassionate, understanding, and non-judgmental.
Rachel’s expertise in diet and nutrition, coupled with her experience as a dancer, make The Healthy Dancer® the perfect resource for any dancer hoping to improve their relationship with food that will sustain their dancing and prevent injury. I am thrilled to have found Rachel and her resources for my daughter.
