What families and coaches wrote on Google

 

“We are beyond grateful to Dawn for her extensive knowledge, in-depth explanations and her ability to provide menu specifics for each individual athlete. 3 of our kids have been to Dawn and have all significantly improved their Track and XC times! I can't recommend her services enough!” Melissa Black, Google review

 

“Dawn was an exceptional speaker for our Seton High School cross country team retreat. She is engaging, knowledgeable, and very in tune with young athletes. Her tips and guidance on how to properly fuel for better performance will help us so much this season. The passion and humor she used in delivering the information really captured the girls’ attention. We highly recommend Dawn for high school athletes.” Heather Hutchinson, Google review

 

“I started up with Dawn about last December at around 175lbs and I am a pitcher so that weight doesn’t correlate. She worked with me and now I got up to 200lbs this July. I would highly recommend!” Luke Micunek, Google review

 

“Our daughter is a multi sport athlete. She often plays two sports simultaneously. We were concerned with how tired and drained she was from this. Dawn evaluated her and created a plan for her nutrition and resistance training goals. Prior to this plan she was finishing middle of the pack in her track meets. After implementing Dawn's plan for her, she resulted in league champion! It absolutely works!” Tara Barr, Google review

 

“I can’t recommend Dawn highly enough! She was amazing. She came and talked to the track teams and parents about sports nutrition. I would highly recommend her. If you are serious about improving your performance please contact her she is a game changer!” Jason Lammers, Google review

 

“The tests and nutrition menus can seem like a lot of information... that’s because it is! BUT it is so important for your health and getting to the next level as an athlete. Dawn really helps you throughout each assessment and test you take (look at the website to see what she has available).” Jocey Willis, Google review

 

“Dawn has been a huge help to my daughter Lucy. Last spring when we first visited Dawn, Lucy's running times were tanking and we did not know what to do. She was ready to give up her dreams of running in college altogether. After following Dawn's guidance over the past 6 months I am delighted to say that Lucy's running form has returned. This fall she qualified for the state cross country meet and she is deciding between numerous offers to continue her running career at the collegiate level. Thank you Dawn!!!” Dann Marketos, Google review

 

“Dawn has been a great help to my daughter! She worked with my daughter on meals before and after her sports. My daughter is sleeping better, less fatigued and performing great. Highly recommend Dawn!” Erin Voss, Google review

 

“Dawn is fantastic! She has an encyclopedic knowledge of sports nutrition but is able to break that knowledge down into digestible chunks for people like me. I love her enthusiasm and passion for helping others and feel that I always come away from our interactions with the tools to keep active and healthy. I still use the meal plan she wrote for me when I was preparing for my first Ironman 12+ years ago because it works. I'm currently training for my 7th marathon this fall at age 47. Dawn is a life-saver!!” John Quinn, Google review

 

“Dawn is a kind, dedicated, and intelligent professional who is excellent at her job! I have heard her speak several times, and always come away impressed.

If you’re serious about your physical development as an athlete, call Dawn and she’ll help guide you to your goals!!” Chris Booth, Google review

 

“Dawn is extremely helpful, and gets to the point. She is super fun, and easy to talk to. An absolute professional that can help you iron out issues, or make some good lifestyle changes. I would recommend her to anyone searching for a nutritionist.” Carson Leach, Google review

 

“I find Dawn to be very knowledgeable both in exercise science and nutrition. There is certainly a lot of bang for buck here, as the services that I was provided coupled with our counseling session has really made me a more complete athlete. Everything from discussions about calories, macronutrients, supplements, and more. I've recommended Dawn to some friends/family, and plan to use her services again in the future.” Wayne Odell, Google review

 

“Dawn was fantastic! I’m a personal trainer and want to maintain the physique of an athlete as I approach my 50s. The session with Dawn was so informative and very eye-opening. I have been running on fumes for a long time, and with just a few tweaks to my nutrition my energy levels are through the roof in a matter of days! Thank you, Dawn!” Shelby Birdwell, Google review

 

“Sometimes high schoolers are nervous about seeing a nutritionist. But Dawn is down to earth and not intimidating for my athletes. Very knowledgeable!” Richard Shomo, Google review

“I'm active in Obstacle Course Racing (specifically Spartan) and decided to meet with Dawn as I was having trouble with bonking during races. She completed a variety of tests to get baselines to work from. The menu that she created for me has provided me with a path to achieving my goals. The first test was to complete a Trifecta weekend without any issues. She gave me a detailed plan to follow for the week leading up to and during the event to improve my performance. It worked great! After completing the Beast (half marathon) on Saturday it was the best I have ever felt in the 5 years of racing! Dawn is very knowledgeable and no doubt will be able to improve your performance!” Ryan Tekulve, Google review

 

“Came in for Bod Pod and RMR tests to give me a baseline to try to track my improvements. Dawn was great! She provided me with a lot of great info. She explained food science and why/how our body needs and uses nutrients. Looking forward to coming back in for additional tests in the future.” Roger Tackett, Google review

 

“I went to get a Bod Pod assessment. Dawn sat me down after and explained what I needed to do to improve my body composition. She took her time and explained the importance of everything and why I should do it. She didn't try to upsell me, she just did the assessment. I'm going back again soon.” Jim Whittenburg, Google review

 

“I have to say I was a little reluctant to spend the $$ for my consult but it was worth every cent. I gained insight into my body (body fat and thigh glycogen stores) and Dawn gave me a specific diet. After 4 months I went from a "fat" 186 to a lean 167 and feel great. Thanks, Dawn.” Jonathan Van Zile, Google review
