Who is it for?
High-performing women from reproductive age through menopause who wish to optimize their performance in athletic endeavors, occupation or simply to optimize health and wellness for the long-term.
What does it mean to be “High performing”?
- Physically demanding occupations such as firefighters, police, paramedics, military, etc
- Executives and professionals with high-stress positions balancing work/life/athletic pursuits.
- Elite, professional or avid recreational athletes
Our mission serves not just female athletes, but any woman who has an occupation that requires a high level of physical performance. This includes firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and military personnel, to name a few. Historically, these positions have been dominated by men with very limited resources for the unique training and nutritional needs of high-performing females. As a result, when the same principles of training and nutrition intended for males are applied to females, this can lead to under-fueling, over-training, injury, abnormal menstrual cycles, and stress fractures among other health complications. Sadly, females in these professions are often lost or forgotten with nowhere to turn when their health is in jeopardy. Our concierge service is designed specifically to care for high-performing women to support their health and wellness, and to optimize physical and mental performance so they can achieve their greatest potential in their chosen sport or profession.
