Hey there,
I'm Jessica!
I’m a registered dietitian and competitive runner who believes fueling well is just as important as training hard.
I work with runners who want to feel stronger in their training, improve performance, and build nutrition habits that support long-term progress, not burnout.
​
Because I train and compete myself, I understand the realities of running: busy weeks, hard workouts, recovery days, and the mental side of performance. Nutrition shouldn’t add stress or confusion, it should support your training and your life.
​
Through personalized nutrition coaching, I help runners fuel with confidence, improve energy and recovery, and show up consistently for their training. My approach is practical, evidence-based, and designed to work in the real world.
Are you running to? From? Or because? At each phase in life we are running for a different reason.
Perhaps my running journey will help you
connect with your why.
My running journey began in 2012 with a half marathon that started as a bucket-list goal. I finished in 1:44, far from my current best 1/2 marathon time but it planted the seed that there was more potential to explore.
​
After several years of casual running, I began training more intensely and increased training volume, but not my recovery or fueling. Two months later, I suffered a stress fracture that required six weeks of non-weight-bearing recovery and time away from both running and work. It was my first major injury, and a turning point in how I viewed performance.
​
Nutrition, recovery, strength, and overall balance matter equally and when one piece is neglected, the body finds a way to force change. Now the focus is on balance with training, fueling and recovery.
​
So the lesson? Change before you have to, which now shapes both how I train and how I coach runners today.

These injuries were defining, but they did not define me as a runner. Adversity taught me to preserve and shift the focus to what I had control over. With each injury and rehab process, I dug deeper into the nutrition and strength element, narrowing in, focusing on the fine details that elevated my game, my speed, and ultimately my mental capacity.
In January 2023, I was enrolled in Adversity University, and was faced with a personal life challenge that was far more intense than any running injury. Due to my past experience with physical injury, I was reminded that lessons of perseverance and resilience applied now more than ever, as running metaphorically saved my life and ultimately elevated my game.
​
Now, with an immense mental capacity, physical fine tuning and a consistent training plan, the PBs began to roll in and run performance was stronger than ever. Totally aligned, mentally, physically and emotionally.
I challenged myself in 2023, and each time rose to the occasion. Completing 2 full marathons a personal best finishing in the Toronto Marathon at 2:59:21, a 2nd place finish in the MB Marathon one month later, a personal best half time in the World Police and Fire Games at 1:25:48, a first trail race with 2nd place finish and record crusher, ending the year in my fastest 10k and first place female finish in 37:26.
