Hey! I’m Chelsea Clarke, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Personal Trainer, and owner of Balance Chaos Nutrition + Fitness! I’m based in San Diego, California, and I see clients virtually in many states across the U.S.
About Me
I completed my Master’s degree in Food Policy and Applied Nutrition at Tufts University and received my Didactic Program in Dietetics certificate from Simmons University. My fitness career began when I became a personal trainer at one of the top fitness industry innovators, Equinox luxury gyms. Since then, I have been working as a fitness & health coach for the past 13+ years, and I have been a registered dietitian for the last 6 years.
When I’m not coaching clients or working on my business, you can find me trying out new exercises in the gym, training Olympic lifts, or learning new skills on aerial ropes. I also crave creativity, and I love to paint my nails in crazy designs.
What is Balance Chaos?
Balance Chaos is a way of life. No one is perfect. Everyone experiences chaos. At any given moment, we are all struggling to balance the chaos in our lives. And chaos isn’t a bad thing, at all. When we train in the gym and push ourselves to work harder, we are throwing our bodies in a state of chaos. Our bodies must adapt and grow stronger to deal with that chaos. Similarly, in our personal and professional lives, we constantly take on more responsibilities. These new tasks may seem overwhelming at first, but we must learn to adapt and balance these new responsibilities within our already busy lives. Life is not static. We are always moving, growing, changing in response to the chaos that is our world. Without chaos, we would never achieve anything greater.
“Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos. Before a brilliant person begins something great, they must look foolish in the crowd.” – I Ching
At Balance Chaos Nutrition + Fitness, we help you learn & apply nutrition principles in your life to reach your goals. Learning new things is not simple, and it often requires some “chaos”–trial & error, making mistakes & learning from them. We’re here to guide you through that process by developing self-compassion and applying neutral self-reflection. When embarking on a health journey, trying to be perfect only works for the short-term. We help you learn how to listen to your body, align with your values, and take action towards your goals, for a lifetime.
