Meet Olivia
Hi, I'm Olivia, or Liv!
I have three dogs that I love exploring with, whether it be the neighborhood or hiking in the mountains. I also enjoy camping, snowboarding, surfing, mountain biking, and anything that gets me outside and moving! I am also an Olympic weightifter for East Coast Gold and have been nationally competitive since 2016. My background includes a B.S. in health science and a Master's in surgical assisting. I do have a full time job as a surgical assistant, but my love of weightlifting, working with people, and living & eating healthy got me into nutrition coaching. I have experienced in myself how hiring a nutrition coach has made me a better athlete, changed the way I experience & think about food, and improved my overall health, and I love being able to help others do the same!

Certified Nutrition Coach
Nutrition Client Testimonial
"I started with Olivia in the beginning of 2022 and it has been the best decision I have ever made!
I’ve always been someone who has ate relatively clean with of course the occasional cheat meals and weekend night outs filled with fun, the 80/20 if you will. However, I found myself eating too much of one macronutrients. I love my carbs and Liv knows that! I struggled with eating enough healthy fats. I decided to take the plunge and have someone help me along the way.
Liv has gotten me through a number of life changes and challenges! From getting engaged shortly after I started working with her and having engagement photos, bridal parties, my wonderful wedding and then prepping for a national meet. She was there every step of the way! Mind you while prepping for her own national meet as well!...
What nutrition coaching includes
Orientation
Client will fill out the Initial questionnaire — background, goals, etc. If you are a PT client of Jill’s then Jill will inform Olivia about your current exercise program.
Olivia will contact you upon completion of the questionnaire to schedule a 20-30 min "meet & greet” via zoom.
-
You will set your 1st set of goals together.
-
You will schedule your weekly check-ins.
Tracking
Client will fill out their google sheet daily. Both client & Olivia have access to this google sheet. Jill will also have access if client also receives training. It is possible, depending on the client’s goals, that a food tracker (i.e. MyFitnessPal) will also be used. If a food tracker is used the information will then be transferred into the google sheet.
Weekly check-in -- review energy, hunger, sleep, life events, etc. Olivia will give feedback and make changes to goals based on that.
Communication
Client can email & text Olivia throughout the week with questions/concerns. She will respond as soon as she can (be mindful of the fact that she is in an OR for long periods of time & it may take up to 12 hrs for a response). The weekly check-ins can be whatever the client needs:
-
**a 20-30 min weekly Zoom**
-
** a 20-30 min phone call**
-
a conversation via text
-
a conversation via email
**Clients are more likely to be successful with a zoom/phone call.
EAT WELL.
LIVE WELL.
