Hi!

I’m Sally, of SMC Nutrition. I’m a Registered Dietitian who does not believe in diets. I do believe that it’s equally important for nutrition advice to be both evidenced-based and personalized. I think we should enjoy food and celebrate its role in our traditions and cultures. And I know that food has incredible power to help us live healthier lives, prevent or manage chronic disease, and achieve big health and wellness goals.

We have complicated relationships with food, our bodies, and the goals we set for ourselves. It can feel overwhelming to try to determine the best way to fuel and nourish your unique body for your unique goal. I’m here to help — I want to work with you to find the best way to fuel your active life, whether you are following a structured training program, engaging in regular exercise, or chasing after busy kids. My aim is to help you accomplish your nutrition goals, from increasing energy, hitting a fitness milestone, preventing injury, or simply creating a healthier lifestyle.

I’m also a runner and former running coach who initially came to the sport for fitness but fell in love with the ritual and rhythm of training. Like many runners, there are times when I run just for fun, while other times I’m training to chase a big goal. I recognize that movement and training ebb and flow with the changes and seasons of day to day life. I have first-hand familiarity with the positive impact of movement on physical, mental, and emotional health and I recognize that we choose to move our bodies for a variety of reasons.

I work with all sorts of active individuals and athletes to help them learn how to best fuel their bodies for the hard work of daily life and the grind of a hard workout. This includes folks who are just getting started with movement, those who are in the groove of a regular routine, and long-time endurance athletes both in and out of training cycles. My most important objective is to help you achieve your goals in a way that works for you and your lifestyle.
