Background
Welcome! My name is Noelle (she/her) a.k.a. “Coach Elle Barebones.” I am an enthusiastic performance dietitian-nutritionist and fitness professional combining master-level credentials with over 20 years of experience empowering others to create healthy, active, and sustainable lifestyle behaviors that promote well-being and longevity, prevent disease, and optimize peak performance. I am a licensed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN/LD) board-certified as a Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD), certified personal trainer (ACSM-CPT), and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). My passions are preparing performing arts athletes for physical readiness, coaching others to feel their best, and sparking hope and joy ⚡️⚡️
I earned Bachelor of Science degrees in Human Nutrition and Food Science, as well as Geology, while winning championship titles as a Division I collegiate athlete and founding member of the West Virginia University Women’s Rowing Team (1999-2003). I successfully completed the dietetic internship and Master of Science degree program in Clinical Nutrition at Rush University in Chicago, IL (2003-2005). I have worked in a variety of settings including human research labs, hospitals and healthcare clinics, universities, fitness gyms, an employee wellness center, and most recently a performing arts college program. I am a lifelong un-learner and continue my education studying the most current research in health equity, coaching science, performance nutrition, herbal medicine, human optimization, quantum physics, heart coherence, and sustainability. I am highly trained in translating the science of Lifestyle Medicine into actionable steps, utilizing a Shared Decision-Making Process to support client autonomy, build self-efficacy, mobilize internal strengths and engage external resources for sustainable change ♻️
