    Client

  • "Briana is amazing. She is extremely patient, positive, and motivating. I have IBS and food sensitivities and eating healthy is difficult when foods, especially produce, is limited. But she’s helped me tremendously to overhaul what I eat one baby step at a time so that I can eat healthier while still being careful of what my body can handle. I eat way better now than I did when I started with her, and doing it with baby steps helps make it a lifestyle change that can stick."

    Client

  • “Briana has been so helpful and supportive on my health journey for the past two years! She is always willing to hear out my goals and wishes, and then we tailor a plan and specific actions based on what’s going to get me to my end point in a healthy way. Briana also breaks down each goal so that I know what’s attainable in the timeframe between visits with her, and I can work on things accordingly. No healthy habit is built overnight, but I’m so glad Briana has helped keep me accountable and motivated while working on myself! I definitely feel that I have made a lot of progress with her.”

    Client

  • “I am excited to continue working with you as I work to improve my health and fitness. I cannot begin to tell you the weight that was lifted off of my shoulders after finishing up our meeting and how much better I am feeling mentally moving forward. I would also like to say my mother was quite excited to hear that things like bread, pasta, and potatoes can start coming back into the fold for dinner 😄. Thank you again!"

    Client

  • "The sessions are so informative, Briana is so knowledgeable and fun to work with. Looking forward to the next session."

    Client

  • Briana was recommended to me by my running coach. I was training for a half marathon and had been having a lot of difficulty with the nutrition piece of running. Briana was very knowledgeable and really helped me to pay much closer attention to the foods I was eating before the race and helped me come up with a successful fueling plan. I had a great race because of it and even achieved a PR! I highly recommend Briana!

    Joanne S

  • I am thrilled to offer this review for Briana. I have been working with her for 3+ years now and she has helped me maneuver through a number of diet/nutrition pitfalls. Through it all, she has remained uber positive and upbeat throughout. Mostly, however, she has allowed me to explore my own nutritional pathway with gentle nudges and support along the way. It was never "my way or the highway" with her. That being said, Briana can be as scientific and regimented as you need/want her to be, but she balances that well with the a patient mindset committed to a long-term theraputic approach. My sense is that her work with individuals, whether they are elite athletes, or folks interested in improving their nutritional health, is highly customized for the individual.

    Tony B

  • I have been seeing Briana for almost 2 years! She is very thoughtful, kind and knowledgable about her approach. I rowed division I in college and did not have the best mindset regarding nutrition upon graduation. Briana has helped me navigate the complicated relationship I have with food, post-college, in a supportive way! She has been awesome in helping me build a solid foundation of nutrition knowledge and empowering me not to view any foods as "bad". Her holistic approach shows how much she truly cares about you and your health! I highly recommend Briana!

    Ellie T

  • I came to Bri after hearing about what can do for endurance athletes from a local gym. At the time, I needed nutritional support while training for a triathlon as a type 1 diabetic. Bri's insight into endurance training and the importance of fueling up while strength training and endurance training allowed me to keep my energy up through the months leading up to the event. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would - Highly Recommend!

    Andrea S

  • Briana is an exceptional dietician, educator, and listener. Since starting with Bri, I’ve gained muscle mass, reduced chronic fatigue and post workout headaches, and am feeling the best I have in years. Like many, I sought out Bri for her specialty in sports nutrition. But she has helped, and continues to help, me with so much more. She took a thorough history, evaluated lab results, made a tailored supplement plan to support my goals, and has gently guided me to seek additional professional support for some long standing issues. I couldn’t recommend Bri more highly.

    Elonna C

  • Bri was such a great resource! She helped educate me on proper nutrition practices for an active lifestyle, particularly as it pertains to endurance sports (trail running, ski touring, biking, etc). She explained proper fueling techniques, meal planning and recipes in a way that made it easy to digest (ha!) and understand! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about nutrition, proper fueling for athletes, etc.

    Trey C

  • Bri helped me understand how to fuel better for my runs when i was prepping for my half marathon last year! It improved my strength training performance as well. I highly recommend Bri’s services

    Taylor R

  • Briana has been tremendously helpful with my nutrition goals. I enjoy running/playing hockey/swimming and am very active. She has taught me so much about how I can best fuel those activities so I can meet my goals. Beforehand, I noticed I was fatigued and injured often. With Briana’s help, I have a much better understanding about what foods I should focus on eating, why those foods are important to fuel my workouts, and how improving the quantity of my foods can improve my performance and decrease my fatigue and injuries. She has an excellent understanding of the science behind nutrition, which fascinates and motivates me. She’s taught me how to plan timing of snacks, about why I should increase my sodium and carbs based on what I’m doing, and I appreciate that she encourages realistic goal-setting. She is not there to shame food choices but has instead helped me shift my perspective and knowledge around foods I once thought were “bad.” She is very fun and enjoyable to work with and has absolutely changed the way I think about my nutrition.

    Lindsey W

  • Bri is the BEST, I cannot recommend her enough! I was struggling to keep up with my nutrition when I started a more rigorous training schedule. Always felt hungry, was getting bored of the normal food, struggling to find the right balance of nutrition and hydration on my runs...Bri had answers for all of it! I feel stronger than ever and more educated and equipped to handle my nutrition needs day to day, even outside of training. Whenever a new nutrition question or issue pops up, Bri is always there to support and work through it with me. It's truly amazing how much better I feel after working with Bri to find the right balance of nutrition needs, it even speeds up recovery after a hard workout.

    Kaitlin D

  • I have learned so much working with Briana over the past 6 months! One thing I love about her approach is that she is focused on what you can add to your diet rather than focusing on "banning" foods. We worked together to come up with attainable goals and spent time talking about strategies for turning those actions into habits. I recently had blood work done again and saw great improvements with some of the changes Briana has helped me to implement. I feel more confident in my nutrition knowledge and how to build a complete meal. I am also a runner and we have worked together to discuss the fueling needed for training and races which has been super helpful! I would highly recommend working with Briana and I am so grateful for all the help she has provided me!

    Colleen W

  • I have been working with Briana for over a year and a half. She has helped me tremendously with understanding how to fuel my body properly for running performance while being mindful and thoughtful around a history of unhealthy eating patterns. As a Running Coach, I highly recommend Briana as a trusted resource to all my clients and would recommend her to anyone looking for professional nutrition guidance.

    Keri-Ann R

  • Working with Bri has been transformative! As someone with a history of disordered eating, I was initially hesitant to consult a dietitian. However, Bri’s approachable and non-judgmental demeanor made the experience incredibly comfortable. She has equipped me with invaluable tools for a healthy lifestyle and significantly elevated my fitness journey!
