Meagan also trains in strength sports – both powerlifting and weightlifting. She still competes in these sports and works with several people who go to the gym on a regular basis.

Approach to care
Realistic approach to help you figure out the formula to feel and perform your very best. I will help you fuel for performance, recovery, and a long-term healthy lifestyle. As your coach, I will hold you accountable as you work toward your goals. I will give you tough love when you need it, but also support and motivate you when life happens – sometimes goals/habits need to be tweaked, and that is okay.
Your first session with Meagan
We will get to know each other, review your medical nutrition history, discuss your current goals, and develop a plan of action together. There will be zero judgement and there is no such thing as a "stupid question" - I am here to help you to best of my ability.
