Nutrition
If a woman today does not have a complicated relationship with food, she certainly knows someone who does. The cacophony of nutritional advice and skewed cultural norms make it difficult to know how, when, and what to fuel an active life – particularly for women and girls.
The Center for Active Women provides individual and group resources, education, and support to nurture joyful, satisfying relationships with food among female athletes – as well as to manage and prevent Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (under-eating), disordered eating, eating disorders, and other nutritional challenges.
Body Image
Fitness and sporting cultures too often conflate weight and body composition with performance. The narrow assumption that athleticism looks muscular and lean means that many active women and girls feel inadequate, insufficient, and uncomfortable in their here-and-now bodies – especially during natural seasons of change, like puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause.
The Center for Active Women works alongside athletes, coaches, trainers, parents, and organizations in both group and individual settings to cultivate environments where active women and girls are encouraged to nourish and embrace their bodies rather than bemoan and resist them.
Hormones
Despite the pervasiveness of hormonal disturbances in the world of sport, awareness among female athletes and those entrusted to care for their bodies remains alarmingly low. While many perceive missing periods as “normal” for active women and girls, for instance, the impact of menstrual disruptions extends far beyond the reproductive system, perhaps most notably catalyzing premature bone loss.
Through individualized support and group lectures/workshops, the Center for Active Women champions body literacy around menstrual and hormonal health, equipping active women and girls to work with their bodies rather than against them.
What Clients are Saying:
“After meeting Greta and learning about her expertise in hormonal health, I became curious to address my own history of period loss and food anxiety. As a long-distance runner with a history of endurance sports, I spent years believing loss of period and obsession with nutrition was a necessary evil of female athleticism.
I booked a discovery call, and was immediately drawn to Greta’s warm compassion and educated professionalism. Through our sessions, Greta gave me the tools I needed to recover my period and heal my hormones. Better yet, I regained confidence with food and trust in my body and its signals. Greta’s service includes not only practical and certified expertise to address nutrition-related challenges, but compassionate and effective counseling to address the mental and emotional motivations underlying food-relationship. Greta introduced me to thoughtful exercises and led me through a personalized curriculum that made space for me to acknowledge and consider my perceptions of my body, my sport, and food. There are infinite claims and ‘experts’ in the field of nutrition, but Greta’s approach is driven by evidence-based research, buttressed by thorough experience, and led by compassion. If you’re interested in improving or evaluating your relationship with food, you need Greta Jarvis. If you’re considering an investment in your holistic health, start with this one. Book a session with Greta, and you’ll agree!”
“My name is Lauren Lakey, and I have coached women’s lacrosse at Jesuit High School for the past ten years. It has been my utmost pleasure working alongside Greta. I have had the tremendous opportunity to watch her transform the young lives of our female athletes. Greta is one of the most exceptional lacrosse coaches and Intuitive Eating coaches I have ever seen. Not only has Greta been one of the most beloved coaches our program has ever had, but she has positively impacted our young athletes’ lives with her wonderful and life-changing work with the Center for Active Women. Greta has helped to build self-compassion and resilience in our athletes. She has provided a safe space for our young women to explore and heal from past negative experiences related to food and body image, while also helping to pursue their athletic endeavors. Without a doubt, Greta is one of the most pleasant and positive people to be around, and our lacrosse players love to learn and work alongside Greta. When Greta hosts workshops to help our female athletes understand the power of their bodies, she makes our athletes feel heard and understood. Greta takes the time to listen to the struggles the youth face today and tailor her guidance to fit their unique needs. Greta’s expertise in Intuitive Eating is evident, but it really is her genuine care and support that sets her apart. Her practical tips and insightful advice have helped our athletes to develop a healthier, more positive relationship with food and their bodies. Our athletes have embraced Greta’s teachings and support, which I believe is a direct result of why we have been able to find our incredible success on the field. I wholeheartedly recommend Greta Jarvis to anyone who is seeking a supportive and empowering partner on their journey with Intuitive Eating. Her dedication, empathy, and expertise have made a profound impact on our athletes’ lives, and I am forever grateful for her.”
