Ally is a nutrition coach and NFL dancer for the Washington Commanders. Her mission is to change the way the dance industry approaches nutrition, dieting, body image, and overall wellness.
In her journey to become an NFL dancer, she struggled with body image issues and disordered eating. She also noticed that many other pro or aspiring pro dancers experienced the same challenges. She started her business to help dancers achieve and maintain the body they desire–inside and out– while healing their relationship with food, eating enough to fuel their dancing, and fostering a positive body image.
As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and Restorative Wellness Practitioner (RWP), Ally is trained to evaluate clients' nutritional needs and make bio-individual recommendations for dietary changes, lifestyle choices, and supplementation to give dancers’ bodies exactly what they need to achieve true, lasting health. She specializes in gut health and is able to utilize GI-MAP stool testing to provide a targeted approach to each client’s bio-individual needs. She also holds certification from Precision Nutrition with training in sports nutrition, macronutrients, meal timing, and fueling for athletic performance.
In working with dancers, she combines her education and experiences to go way beyond calorie counting and meal plans. She guides dancers to figure out what foods work best for them and how much they need to eat. She helps dancers improve digestion and alleviate GI symptoms, increase energy levels to support the demands of dance, and create sustainable healthy habits.
She will be launching the second iteration of her group coaching program Audition Nutrition Prep, which helps aspiring pro dancers prepare for auditions in the healthiest way possible, on March 1st. She is offering a 20% discount for all Powerhouse workshop participants.
