At 15, I had a vision board and a burning conviction that I was here to help people through what would eventually become holistic athlete coaching. I didn’t know what the path would look like, but I knew I wanted to lead with purpose.

I thought it would be through journalism or human rights. I imagined myself working for the UN or the WHO. I believed that if I stayed rooted in community, integrity, and authenticity, I could create change.

Now at 37, the work looks different than I imagined back then. But the mission hasn’t changed.

I spend my days working with athletes through holistic athlete coaching. What I’ve learned through my own athletic journey and becoming a nutrition and fitness coach is that this doesn’t have to be so hard. The answers aren’t found in doing more or pushing harder. They’re found in understanding how your body and mind actually work together.

I call this work The Level Up Method™, and it was built from everything I’ve lived, learned, and seen firsthand as both an athlete and nutrition coach.

Why Athletes Need Holistic Athlete Coaching Beyond Meal Plans

Too many athletes are left to figure it out on their own.

They get praised for pushing through fatigue and staying “disciplined,” even when their strategies are burning them out. They’re drowning in conflicting advice from social media but starving for real, personalized support. They’re expected to perform under pressure without anyone teaching them how to manage their mindset, stress, or recovery.

Here’s what I’ve noticed: Many athletes are trying to piece together their nutrition, training, and mental game from different sources. Instagram posts, generic programs, and advice that wasn’t made for their specific situation.

I’ve seen how isolating the athletic journey can be. I’ve watched talented people struggle not because they lacked ability, but because they were trying to figure it all out alone.

I’ve also seen what becomes possible when athletes get the right support. Someone who understands both the science of fueling performance and the reality of being human while chasing big goals.

That’s the work I do now. Not just meal plans and training schedules, but holistic athlete coaching that includes structure, reflection, and support systems that actually make sense for the long game.

Human First. Athlete Always.

My clients are high performers who take their sport seriously and have goals that matter deeply to them.

But they’re also human. They deal with:

• Performance anxiety and self-doubt
• Chronic fatigue from overtraining
• Pressure from coaches, teammates, and themselves
• Confusion about conflicting nutrition advice
• Fear of losing their edge if they prioritize recovery

My approach combines evidence-based sports nutrition with mindset tools from Mindlock because your body and mind work together in your performance.

This Is Bigger Than Sport. It’s About Changing How We Support Athletes

This isn’t just about better coaching methods. It’s about creating a world where no athlete has to choose between their performance and their wellbeing. Where being human and being competitive aren’t opposite things.

I envision a future where every athlete, from weekend warriors to elite competitors, has access to support that sees them as a whole person. Where the conversation isn’t just about what you ate or how hard you trained, but about how you’re doing as a human being who happens to be chasing something meaningful.

Whether you’re a weekend warrior training for your first triathlon or a competitive athlete chasing podium finishes, you deserve support that sees you as more than just your sport.

From 15 to now, the mission has stayed the same: I help athletes level up without losing themselves.

And I’m just getting started.
