You’ve heard your gymnast must “eat clean” to support her gymnastic goals but you find that this is hard to stick with or worse, leaves your gymnast hangry and with lower energy levels
Your gymnast is tired and sore all the time and it breaks your heart; you’ve tried chiropractors, supplements, and physical therapists, but nothing has worked
You know your gymnast is not eating enough before or after practice, often skipping meals only to “overdo” later and you’re not sure how to help her find balance
You’ve noticed your gymnast is frequently and easily irritated; you ask how practice went and you’re met with silence or a bad attitude
Your gymnast has been plagued by injuries, fatigue, and you’re wondering if something is missing from their nutrition
Coaching is for you if...
If we're a good fit, you’ll be invited to join our client portal to sign paperwork and get your first session scheduled.
We’ll chat via email if needed with you and your gymnast to chat about what’s going on, what you’re looking for, and see if we’re a good fit to work together!
Please fill out the brief application form to provide me with information about your gymnast.
HOW 1:1 COACHING WORKS
Here's how we can work together:
// Liz H., Level 8/9 Mom
"My daughter was injured while we were in the program and her recovery was supposed to be 8-12 weeks. With Christina's help she not only recovered from that injury in less than 6 weeks, but she is now stronger than ever. Christina's program has changed the trajectory of my daughter's future both in and out of the gym. EVERYTHING this program has to offer is well worth it!"
Recovered from her injury in under 6 weeks (instead of 8-12)
// Rachel W., Level 9/10 Mom
"I had begun to believe that 'normal' for a teenage gymnast was being tired and emotional all the time. After 3 months of TBG and 1:1 sessions, I have a different teen. Nine months ago, she was diagnosed with a serious stress fracture in her femur. Not only did she heal, she had a very successful season. We've gone from injuries taking the maximum healing time to healing quicker than expected!"

// Carolynn K., Level 7 Mom
"We watched and listened to Christina's podcast and posts for almost a year. Just those minor changes and we saw huge gains, and our gymnast scored a perfect 10 at state! We truly believe being fueled before and during meets was key. Then we joined the program. She has rebounded from minor injuries within days vs. weeks. No fatigue, no exhaustion, no being ravenous after practice."
A perfect 10 at state, and bouncing back from minor injuries in days
// Christine S., Level 10 Mom
"We joined the program because even after implementing just a few free tips from IG, we saw an immediate difference and believe it propelled her highest AA score ever at Regionals. Being in the program has taken it up several notches! Even though she's only 12, she's seeing the difference and taking fueling a lot more seriously. I have no doubt her comeback is being made better because we decided to focus on nutrition."
Her highest all-around score ever at Regionals
// Laura B., Level 6/7 Mom
"My daughter got injured a few weeks after level 6 states, an injury with her hip bone. We kept working on her nutrition with Melissa, including getting more calcium in since she's lactose intolerant. At her latest X-ray follow-up the doctor was shocked at how well her bone was healing and asked her, 'Do you drink a lot of milk or something?' I know this is directly related to our nutrition help."
