Hear from happy clients

I just finished a 50 mile race and came in second place, which was enough to put me on the top 10 list in my age group for 12-hour races for Kansas state ultramarathon records. I couldn’t have done this without the lessons Sara taught me this year. Thank you for teaching me about nutrition and the value of fueling my body! I feel strong!
Kirsten C.
My performance was declining because I wasn’t eating enough. It wasn’t until I entered residential treatment for my eating disorder, that my mindset changed. Since meeting with Sara, I’ve been able to show my true self through both my ups and downs. She has extensive nutrition knowledge and shares it through an individualized approach.

Sara's phenomenal, flexible, and knowledgeable. I'm a college football player, and she was always willing to try her to best to accommodate my schedule. I needed to gain weight for football, and she helped to do so in a way that made sense for my lifestyle and preferences.
