How you fuel your body is just as essential as developing your technique as a dancer. Nutrition impacts every aspect of your being and allows you to perform at your best as an artist. The right nutrition for your body will not only provide you with sustained energy, clarity of mind, strength and mobility, but will also enhance mood and optimise your immune system. The Nourished Dancer - Student Edition has been developed as a 4-week course to provide dancers vital nutritional skills provided in a flexible and time efficient manner that is practical for busy schedules.
Think of a famous ballet, or your favourite Broadway show - One person does not make the show a success do they?
The success of a show involves dancers, choreographers, directors, musicians, conductors, lighting technicians, hair and make up, dressmakers, props assistants, backstage helpers and many more people all doing their job and working together to pull off an amazing, seamless show. If any of these members are missing, unwell, or not performing at their best, then the show will not meet its full potential!
This is how I like to think of our bodies.
Our bodies are not made of individual parts doing their own thing. Each part of the body is influenced, and affected by another. Only when all of these components are working well is a person truly well and able to reach their potential.
Nutritional Medicine involves treating the whole person. This includes all aspects of their being including their environment, sleep quality, stress levels, mental and emotional wellbeing, and of course their dietary requirements and habits. It is amazing how all these components are closely intertwined and how dietary changes may have a large impact on the quality of life. Everyone is unique, otherwise we would all look and feel the same! This means that everyone’s nutritional requirements are unique too.
I am passionate about guiding active people of all ages and stages through their requirements for their chosen art or sport.Below are some recipes to inspire you in the kitchen. A well balanced nutrition plan can be simple, convenient, and easy to follow. Eating should be an enjoyable experience that you can look forward to during the day. A diet that works for you is one that brings you joy!

I was raised in Perth and danced from a young age, I cannot imagine growing up without the opportunity to dance! The life skills I learnt through dancing have helped me in all aspects of my life including discipline, team work, perseverance and dedication.
As a teenager, I lacked the nutrition education i needed to understand how to fuel my body as a person and to dance at my best. I was led to believe that my appearance was more important that my health which lead to an unhealthy relationship with food and my body. I developed an interest in nutritional medicine after suffering debilitating anxiety and panic attacks as a teenager. Adapting my nutrition played a large role in overcoming this period of my life, as well as a period of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. As an adult, I have explored triathlon, running, crossfit and continue to enjoy the occasional dance class. Since completing a Bachelor of Nutritional Medicine, I am able to blend my loves of dance, sport and nutrition together to provide a specialized service.
