Nutrition, Recovery, Performance

I studied nutrition to become a registered dietitian at the Universitätsklinikum Leipzig.
After my studies, I founded my own company, runamariediet, through which I supported dance students from all over the world with online nutrition coaching for over four years.
 

At the same time, I was based in Barcelona pursuing my own path as a dancer. Living and training in an international dance environment allowed me to experience firsthand the physical and mental demands placed on dancers (long training hours, high performance pressure, frequent injuries, and limited access to reliable health education).

Health education for dancers is deeply close to my heart. I witnessed young dancers moving abroad with big dreams, but without the knowledge or tools to support their bodies in a sustainable way. I saw friends struggling with injuries, low energy availability, disordered eating, and burnout OFTEN in silence.
 

Today, my work focuses on providing evidence-based nutrition and health education specifically for dance students. My goal is not treatment, but education: to empower future generations of dancers with foundational knowledge that supports performance, injury prevention, and long-term career sustainability.

I believe that even small, well-placed educational interventions can have a meaningful impact and help dancers build healthier relationships with their bodies throughout their careers.
