Nurture. Support. Encourage.
Workshops are an effective way to translate and deliver scientific jargon into digestible information for dancers. Nurture The Healthy Dancer® is a customizable, interactive workshop designed to engage, educate, and motivate students and faculty. Virtual and in-person workshops are now open for booking.
The Logistics
Because of the vulnerable nature of dancers to disordered eating and eating disorders, dancers, dance educators, and parents must rely on sound sources for nutrition, weight, and related education— credentialed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RD or RDN) or Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LD or LDN) is recommended. In this workshop, dancers learn how to:
- Maximize their plates to gain the nutrients their bodies need most.
- Optimize energy levels for performance.
- Build balanced meals that support training needs and muscle recovery.
- Choose healthy and convenient snacks.
- Reduce risk for injury.
- Prevent early-onset fatigue.
- Cultivate a positive relationship with food and body.
- Lifelong Healthy Habits
- Body Confidence
- Mealtime Empowerment
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.
Together, we’ll redefine what it means to be The Healthy Dancer®.
