I was a college athlete that loved my sport and worked very hard at it, but I also struggled with multiple health issues. Majoring in Exercise Science, working in health and wellness, and eventually becoming a dietitian, I changed my diet, which in turn changed my life. All of my inflammatory conditions went away because food truly is the strongest form of medicine. I learned personally that you could eat to heal your body, or you can eat to kill your body. My personal journey has led me to want to help other athletes learn the basics of eating for optimal performance so that they don't make the same mistakes I did. Eating in such a way not only helps their performance and recovery but also carries over into their lives beyond being an athlete, so they have longevity and wellbeing. After starting the MLS team Sporting Kansas City's sports nutrition program, I knew I could help a lot more athletes by taking my knowledge and experience online. So that's what I did; I bundled up everything so that I could now be your virtual sports dietitian without me physically having to be there.
My business is an online sports nutrition platform that teaches the foundation of sports nutrition. Nutrition is crucial in sports and life, but many sports programs/teams cannot afford to hire a sports dietitian on staff. It is often the missing puzzle piece! My programs are there to help those athletes, coaches, Athletic Trainers, Strength, and Conditioning Coaches, Physical Therapists, or other Nutritionists implement a solid sports nutrition foundation into the curriculum without having to do any of the work. Everything is there for you, from presentations, handouts, emails, etc. It is a plug-and-play program!
Within my business, I can also create meal plans, grocery lists, and recipe booklets according to specific wants/needs. On occasion, I have the capacity to take on one-on-one clients as well.

Hours of Operation
Training Block was created with a mission to support and empower runners, in order to elevate our sport. We do so by giving runners access to a network of local sport performance providers, who provide runners with the care they need from coaching, physical therapy, massage, strength training, and more. We also give providers an easy way to connect with each other and share articles, videos, and other resources that benefit runners and providers alike. For every service booked through Training Block, we donate 10% of our revenues to Training Block’s Elite Athlete Fund, which sponsors elite runners who do not have professional contracts and need financial support for racing at their highest level.
