Ola Czyzewski, MS, RD, LDN, is a former competitive figure skater and professional performer who has dedicated her life to the world of skating, most recently as a coach, choreographer, and co-artistic director of Ice-Semblé Chicago. Having experienced the world of skating from these angles, she has an intimate understanding of the pressures, expectations, and culture that skaters navigate, and a deep commitment to changing it for the better. That understanding drives her work as a registered dietitian, where she believes true wellness is about empowerment, not perfection, and that the body deserves to be a source of connection, not conflict. Her mission is to help skaters rediscover what skating can offer at its best: a profound connection to the ice beneath them, to the body that carries them, and to the larger community that surrounds them.
