I specialize in working with clients who are looking to increase performance in and out of the gym, athletes, weight change, and anyone who is looking to improve their overall health and nutrition.

My coaching style
I believe that it is important to meet people where they are at. My first question is always “What brings you to me and what do you hope to do?”. Every person is different, making nutrition a puzzle. I love to help work with others to best solve this puzzle and accomplish our goals. I have first hand experience in how important nutrition is for different diseases as I am a type 1 diabetic. I bring compassion, energy, and enthusiasm to all my counseling. There is a place for all foods within our day to day life. I look forward to working with you to meet your goals and to find a sustainable style of eating that works best.
My goal is to help you create a lasting lifestyle of wellness. I will use evidence-based strategies to work with you to make lasting changes. Together, we will reach your health and nutrition goals with confidence.

Aston Dommel
A former athlete, I found it hard to shed the 40lbs I gained post-retirement. Aston made it feel like a championship game. I'm back in form, strong and healthy. He is my MVP!

I struggled with weight and health. Aston Dommel worked his magic and helped me lose 60lbs and even infused my menu with healthier options.
Jackson F.
Verified client
Aston was extremely attentive, responsive, and honest with his answers. If there was something he wasn't sure of, he would have an answer ready for me at our next session. His knowledge and facts were all based on research, data, and even some personal experiences, which made him a very balanced nutritionist.
