Words from past clients who are just like you!
"Through coaching I have more confidence in myself and my abilities, I’m able to approach food from a balanced perspective, and don’t feel overwhelmed by food choices. Now, I’m able to treat myself with grace, I feel much more proud of myself and secure. I’ve built trust in myself that I am capable of achieving my goals and I have developed healthy and dependable habits that are long lasting."
Gabbie Mock, Butler University Dance Major
I loved working with Jess. I had such a genuine connection with her and still continue to, even after our sessions have ended. I know she is always just a call away if and when I ever need her again. I can tell she really cares about her dancers and wants to do all she can to help us. She also has shared so much about her personal journey. I know she truly understands where I’m coming from.
I needed help figuring out what foods would be best to fuel my body as a dancer. Becoming more of an adult, as well as becoming a more serious dancer, meant that I needed to start treating myself as an athlete. Fueling your body correctly is a big part of that. I needed guidance in this area as well as figuring out body image issues and how those go hand in hand.
Not only did Jess work with me on food choices and building good habits around that, but she also helped with body image, confidence in dance, finding balance in life outside the studio, and self care. I think all these things are connected and crucial to having a successful career and can get lost along the road of training, especially for younger dancers trying to find their way.
Colleen Underriner, Steps on Broadway Conservatory
I felt the coaching experience was really specific. Sometimes I needed support with my eating, sometimes I needed more support to see the whole dance world from a bigger, more open-minded perspective. As dancers sometimes we forget that we have the choice to say no, or to choose where we want to work. I felt seen during our meetings and It gave me a huge support in my everyday life.
Now, I am much more confident about my body and I am more conscious in my everyday life. I understand that every body is different and I don’t have to compare my body to other dancers’ bodies which gives me freedom finally.
Through my work with Jess I realized that as dancers we have much more power than we thought.
Bettina Jurák, GöteborgsOperans Danskompani

How do you get started?
The first step is to set up a time to chat...
(there's no obligation to sign up for a coaching package)
Are any of the following concerns keeping you from applying right now?
"I DON'T HAVE THE TIME"
Dancers are busy! This will be worth your time.
The coaching times available work really well with dancer schedules - lots of night and weekend times available. Creating a more balanced approach to life, food, and your body can help you stress-less. It can free up more time.
"I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RIGHT FOR ME"
Fill out an application! I'll reach out either way and if you're the right fit, we'll have a chat.
By the end of our chat, you'll know for sure if this is right for you. I've worked with dancers at every level of their training and professional careers. Whether you're a trainee or principal, you can benefit from this work.
"I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY"
This coaching program can allow you to reach your full potential in your dance training and career.
You put so much money into your actual dance training. Investing in reaching your body goals and feeling amazing in your body is going to give you the confidence to achieve greater success on your dance journey. You'll go further with greater happiness.
"I CAN'T STICK TO ANY DIETS I TRY."
Good news. This IS NOT a diet.
Through our work together you'll find an eating plan that's easy to stick to. You'll love the food you're eating so you don't feel deprived (this will help you escape restrict-binge cycles). I'll share lots of sample recipes and meal plans so you won't lose inspiration.
"CAN'T I JUST FIGURE OUT THE BODY STUFF ON MY OWN"
Maybe. That process can take a very long time.
With an already packed schedule, it would take a lot of self-motivation to make the strides you need to shift your food and body approach. Coaching support provides a guide AND accountability so you won't fall off track.
"I CAN DO THIS LATER"
There's a lot of benefit to doing this now.
This is an investment in your dancing success. Just like you've invested in your dance training, investing in coaching will help you take empowered steps forward. You'll get further in your career AND be happier doing it if you put positive focus on your body + mind NOW.
You know you're ready to feel confident in your body 100% of the time.
But you still have some lingering questions...
What if my body can't reach the dance "ideal" I'm striving towards?
Are there foods I should never eat?
Which foods are best before rehearsals or after late night shows?
Is it possible to reach body goals in time for auditions?
How can I change my body without under eating?
Should I cross train 6 days a week to see the tone + lean lines I desire?
Is there a diet or specific food plan I should follow?
WE'LL COVER ALL OF THAT INSIDE OF ELITE BEST BODY COACHING
...ARE YOU READY?!
Words from past clients who are just like you!
" Before I started working with Jess, I struggled with anxiety and my insecurities were hindering my ability to perform at my best. I knew I needed extra support if I wanted to succeed and have a career in dance. Jess gave me the tools to approach things differently and manage my mindset so that I could reach my highest potential. I really attribute her ongoing support and encouragement to helping me achieve my dream of an apprenticeship with the Pacific Northwest Ballet.
Malena Ani, Pacific Northwest Ballet
" I felt a lot of pressure to get back to 100% after I broke my foot, especially with audition season looming. I felt behind. Jess helped me organize my thoughts and my company list. Although the audition season was cut short due to the coronavirus crisis, I felt very prepared and confident to go in and get a contract.
Ellie Abbick, Louisville Ballet
"Before working with Jess, I struggled with properly fueling myself as a dancer. I learn so much from each session with her. Dancers need to understand how to fuel themselves properly and how to have a positive mindset around food - I'd definitely recommend working with Jess. My body confidence is better! Working with Jess helps me see that great dancers need to be strong in order to perform our best.
Lena Grace, Ballet Theatre of Maryland
"Working with Jess has been astoundingly transformative in so many ways. As a former professional ballet dancer who has gone through the same struggles many of us face, she comes from an incredibly relatable place to approach clients with understanding, empathy, and validity.
Jess is exceptionally skilled at what she does, and one of the most incredible aspects is that she helps lead you to discover that balance is possible on your own. She fosters your relationships with food and your body in a way that is unique to the individual. There is no one size fits all method, and she tailors one on one coaching to your needs and concerns.
Anna Moeller, Butler University Dance Major

Elite Best Body Coaching was created for aspiring professional (age 15+) and professional dancers. I also work with adult dancers and retired dancers who want to find peace with food and optimize performance.

I provide sample meal plans full of recipes so you'll have plenty of easy options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. I don't make specific calorie or macronutrient recommendations. When you learn to trust your body as the guide, you'll realize you don't need that information!!
