Personalized Nutrition Coaching for Hockey Players
Fuel the Work. Perform With More Consistency.
Individualized, ongoing nutrition support for hockey players who want to optimize performance, support their training, and work toward specific goals on and off the ice.
You’ve Built the Foundation. Now Let’s Make It Work for You.
You already know nutrition matters.
Maybe you’ve built solid habits but want to take your fuelling to the next level.
Maybe you’re heading into the off-season without the nutrition support you have during the hockey season.
Maybe you’re increasing your training load and want your nutrition to keep pace.
Or maybe you have a specific goal—like building muscle, changing body composition, improving recovery or supporting your performance through a demanding training block.
This is where individualized coaching comes in.
We’ll look at where you are now, where you want to go, and what your body needs to support the work you’re putting in.
Then we’ll build and adjust your nutrition strategy along the way.
“I’ve known Melissa for many years, both as an athlete and as a professional performance-based nutritionist.

What 1:1 Coaching Can Help You Work Toward
Optimize Your Performance
Fine-tune your fuelling around practices, games, training, and tournaments so you can get more from the work you’re already doing.
Build Muscle & Support Body Composition Goals
Develop a nutrition strategy that supports muscle growth, training adaptations and your individual body-composition goals—without resorting to restrictive dieting.
Navigate the Off-Season
Use the off-season intentionally when you may no longer have access to your team’s nutrition resources, while adjusting your nutrition to match changes in training and activity.
Improve Recovery
Build strategies around energy intake, carbohydrates, protein, hydration and meal timing to better support recovery between demanding sessions.
Solve a Specific Nutrition Challenge
Whether you’re struggling with fuelling around a busy schedule, inconsistent eating, GI issues, supplements or another nutrition concern, we’ll work together to find a practical strategy.
Build Independence
The goal isn’t for you to need a nutrition coach forever.
It’s to help you understand your own nutrition well enough to make confident decisions as your hockey, training and life change.
How 1:1 Nutrition coaching works
You will receive individualized, ongoing support that adapts to your goals, schedule, and growth. Here’s what’s included:
Start With Your Full Picture
We’ll look at your current nutrition, training schedule, hockey demands, recovery, goals, preferences and challenges.
From there, we’ll identify the highest-impact changes to focus on first.
Build Your Personalized Strategy
You’ll receive practical recommendations designed around your life and hockey schedule.
This may include meal and snack strategies, game-day fuelling, tournament nutrition, recovery, hydration and supplement guidance when appropriate.
Food Tracking & Ongoing Feedback
You can use photo- or app-based food tracking when helpful—not to obsess over calories or macros, but to create awareness and give us useful information to work with.
Bi-Weekly Coaching Calls
Two 30-minute coaching calls each month to review progress, troubleshoot challenges and fine-tune your strategy.
Daily Messaging Access
Ongoing access for questions, adjustments and support between calls.
Investment: Starting at $347/month
100% recommend to anyone wanting to up their game. My nutrition has never been better. Your teachings have changed my attitude towards food and lifestyle. Honestly, thank you so much. Melissa is amazing at what she does, not only in the knowledge she has but in her methods of putting it across in an easy to understand format. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking to improve their nutritional habits and lifestyle. – Dan
Why Work With a Hockey Nutrition Specialist?
Hockey nutrition is highly individual. Your training load, schedule, position, goals, body, preferences and stage of your hockey career all influence what your nutrition needs to look like.
Generic advice can give you the basics. Individualized coaching helps you figure out how those basics apply to you.
As a Certified Holistic Nutritionist specializing in sports nutrition, I combine evidence-based nutrition guidance with more than 17 years of experience playing hockey and years of working directly with hockey players.
Whether you’re optimizing game-day fuelling, supporting an off-season training block, working toward a body-composition goal or solving a specific nutrition challenge, we’ll build a strategy around your goals and your real life.
Client Spotlight: From Gut Issues to Game-Day Confidence
When a 13-year-old high-level hockey player came to me, he was struggling with stomach cramps and fear around eating. His parents wanted to help him gain weight and feel confident eating again, but weren’t sure what or how much he needed.
Over six months of one-on-one coaching, we rebuilt his fuelling routine, focused on balanced meals, and identified individualized strategies to support his nutrition and digestion.
He gained nearly 10 pounds between April and September, his stomach issues improved, and he became more comfortable and confident with eating.
His family also noticed a difference on the ice: more consistent energy late in games, without the cramps and fade-outs they had been seeing.
