Nutrition for Performance + Body Composition
Nutrition Coaching
A practical, personalized approach to supporting your health, energy, and body composition.
My approach to nutrition goes beyond simply telling you what to eat. I look at the full picture—your daily routines, training, stress, sleep, and health history—to create a plan that is both effective and sustainable.
For many clients, this includes a focus on body recomposition—building lean muscle while improving body composition through a combination of strength training, appropriate fueling, and consistency over time. For others, the goal is simply to feel better: more energy, better digestion, improved recovery, and a more balanced relationship with food.
Rather than following rigid rules or one-size-fits-all plans, we build a framework that fits your life. This often includes supporting key areas like blood sugar balance, digestion, hydration, sleep, and stress—because how your body processes and responds to food matters just as much as what you eat.
My background as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner informs this work, bringing a whole-body, bio-individual approach to every client. The goal is to help you better understand your body, make informed decisions around food, and build habits that support long-term health and performance.

"We are forever grateful for the impact Jillian has had on our lives!”
For as long as I can remember I’ve had “a sweet tooth.” I have consistently had a great exercise routine (group fitness classes about 4 times per week), so I felt like I could treat myself to desserts and eating whatever my body wanted. While balancing life with 2 kids, a husband who is a firefighter, jobs in mental health and non-profit leadership, and volunteer work, I started to notice some acid reflux. I thought it was stress, but since knowing Jillian from the gym, I thought I would see if there was something nutritionally I could do to help rather than committing to taking medication the rest of my life. I had no idea the level of transformation which would result from our work together! I learned so much about my body, food as medicine and how to make life choices which align with my goal of holistic health and living a long life. My acid reflux went away almost immediately, my mood is more stable, I have more energy, and am able to push myself more at the gym. Even several months after finishing my work with Jillian, my husband and I regularly reflect on how much she has revolutionized our family’s health. We are forever grateful for the impact Jillian has had on our lives!

"She helped my wife and me make sustainable changes to our eating habits."
Jillian is SO knowledgeable in nutrition, fitness, and all things Enneagram. She helped my wife and me make sustainable changes to our eating habits, which have significantly impacted our overall health and ability to increase our endurance/strength in mountain biking and overall fitness. Her ability to explain complex concepts about the body and overall well-being in a relatable way is truly impressive. Jillian is fantastic, and I highly recommend her services!

"I had no idea how good I could feel until I worked with Jillian on my nutrition."
I have had chronic blood sugar and digestion issues for so long following many years of stress, strict dieting, and over exercising. I always thought I was eating "healthy" and exercising they way I should be. I had come to terms that my digestion and my way of life was normal. I had no idea how good I could feel until I worked with Jillian on my nutrition and my mindset around what healthy really meant. Within one week, I felt a major shift in energy, sleep, mood, hunger, and digestion. I loved working with Jillian. She created an individualized plan that was specific to my needs and goals. She was patient and encouraging with the perfect amount of push. She dove into all aspects of my nutrition which is what is required to make the difference. Jillian is always checking in, sending good food tips and recipes, and is available to answer my questions. To say that this experience has changed my life forever is an understatement. I have no intentions on making this a temporary fix which is another reason working with Jillian has been so great. This is not a traditional diet or "diet" at all. This is a way of life that will change your health for the long haul.

"For the first time in my wellness journey, I feel like I have found a sustainable way to manage choices that impact my body."
Jillian helped transform the way I think about food, and I am confident this will have a life changing impact on my health. Jillian takes a look at the whole person - beliefs, values, attitudes, habits, and routines - and uses these principles to help foster a lifestyle of healthy decision making. For the first time in my wellness journey, I feel like I have found a sustainable way to manage choices that impact my body. Jillian breaks down advanced concepts in nutrition into accessible and digestible chunks of information. This science has given me a foundational knowledge that helps me make decisions that I feel good about at the grocery store or even out to eat. Since working with Jillian my health has improved dramatically. My energy is more stable throughout the day, my athletic performance has increased, my appetite and mood are more regulated, and I mentally and physically feel that I can get all that I need in the meals I'm able to create. This has liberated me from old habits and has helped me see food and wellness in a completely different light. I couldn't speak more highly of this incredible program and how much of a concrete difference it started to make in my life in a matter of weeks.

Here’s how it works
My approach to nutrition goes far beyond food alone. While what you eat absolutely matters, true progress—especially regarding energy, metabolism, and body composition—is shaped by a much bigger picture. Rather than focusing only on meals, we look at what’s happening before, during, and after you eat, and how those factors influence your physiology, performance, and long-term health.
Throughout our remote work together, we take a comprehensive look at the systems that most directly impact how you feel and function day to day. This includes:
Energy and adrenal health
Blood sugar balance
Digestion
Hydration
Sleep and recovery
Stress and nervous system regulation
Building a whole-food, nutrient-dense foundation
These systems don’t operate in isolation — they work together to influence metabolism, hormone balance, body composition, and overall resilience.
For clients with body composition goals, our focus is not on restriction or short-term dieting, but on creating an internal environment that supports lean muscle development, sustainable fat loss, and consistent energy availability. This often means improving consistency, increasing appropriate intake, optimizing protein, and aligning nutrition with training and daily demands.
Over the course of our time together, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of how food interacts with your body and how to make informed, sustainable choices that support both how you feel, perform, and adapt. Following an in-depth individual assessment, I’ll create personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations designed to fit into your real life, not disrupt it.
You’ll receive ongoing guidance, education, and practical tools from me throughout the process, so you’re not just following a plan, but building confidence and autonomy around your nutrition. And yes — the food will be enjoyable, satisfying, and aligned with your lifestyle along the way.
Let’s make eating well and feeling great work for your life and your schedule.
