NutriArt 360: A Dancer’s Guide to Smart Nutrition & Peak Performance
Welcome to NutriArt 360
Have you ever felt like you’re giving your all in class but still not performing at your best? Do you ever hit a wall halfway through rehearsals, wondering why your energy disappears just when you need it most? What if the missing piece isn’t more training–but better fueling?
You’re not alone—and that’s exactly why I created NutriArt 360. As a dancer, I know firsthand how confusing nutrition can be. I spent years running on fumes, thinking exhaustion was just part of the process. But once I learned how to fuel properly, everything changed.
NutriArt 360 is here to help dancers like you fuel smarter, train stronger, and perform at your peak. Through 1:1 coaching, group education, resources, and online courses, I provide simple, science-backed strategies to help you feel energized, confident, and in control of your nutrition.

My Journey: From Dancer to Dietitian
Why I Became a Dance Nutrition Expert
I grew up dancing at ALDC (yes, that ALDC), where nutrition was never discussed. Hunger was a badge of honor, and exhaustion was just part of the process. I learned to ignore my body’s signals, believing that feeling depleted was just part of being a dedicated dancer.
When I majored in Musical Theatre in college, I carried these habits with me–training, rehearsing, and auditioning while running on fumes. Everything changed when I landed a contract on a cruise ship. Weekly weigh-ins determined our job security. My body was no longer my own. Every meal was a test, every bite a calculation. I became obsessed with food, terrified of eating too much, and ended up not eating enough and my performances paid the price.
After years of low energy, disordered eating patterns, and feeling disconnected from my body, I finally got help. Seeing a Registered Dietitian was a turning point. Instead of restrictions and rules, she gave me small, practical steps that actually worked. For the first time in my career, I felt strong, fueled, and in control.
When the pandemic hit, I knew I wanted to give dancers the knowledge I had been missing for so long. I went to grad school (NYU!), completed 1,200 supervised practice hours, passed my board exam, and became a Registered Dietitian specializing in dance nutrition—all while performing, teaching, choreographing, and raising a baby.
Now, my mission is to help dancers break free from the confusion, misinformation, and harmful mindsets around food, fueling, and dance–so they never have to feel as lost as I once did.
The Missing Link in Dance Training: Nutrition
Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything right–training hard, stretching, rehearsing endlessly–but still feel sluggish, sore, or stuck in a performance plateau?
Many dancers rely on trial and error when it comes to nutrition. Unfortunately, there is very little standardized nutrition education for dancers, and research in this field is still growing. As a result, dancers often struggle with:
· Low energy levels during rehearsals.
· Inadequate recovery after performances.
· Confusion around meal timing and fueling.
· Disordered eating patterns influenced by industry pressures.
At NutriArt 360, my mission is to provide real, sustainable, and effective nutrition strategies tailored for dancers.
