Nikki is a lifelong athlete and mover, coaching group fitness since college. She became a nutrition nerd while losing 40# for the second time-- the first time she lost it drinking shakes and lifting weights; the second time she learned how much better she felt when eating whole foods. 

Then she had her two boys, who are now teenagers. Her attention shifted to CrossFit from bodybuilding when her younger son was 5 and she stopped teaching group fitness and Pilates to put more energy into her own training. She started using food to fuel her training, this time losing 20# and paying attention to portion size. 

She feels better and moves better, and is a better mom and citizen, when she eats better. She makes better decisions when she is fueled and energetic.

She is passionate about bringing up her weaknesses, and delights in little movements of the needle (both hers and her clients!). Nikki believes habits trump motivation, and the joy of a thing done right trumps immediate satisfaction. 

She enjoys CrossFit and Olympic lifting, and is working on her gymnastics. Nikki enjoys puzzles, chickens, her garden, and painting by numbers. She loves to get lost in a good book while laying with her cats.

She meal preps for herself and her boys to make life easier and to make the healthy choices the easy choices.
