Judging from what you've done with your girlfriend, I'm thinking you might have some pointers. I'm actually more concerned with the nutrition, as I'm pretty happy with what my trainer is doing with me.
I know I need to work with a nutritionist (highly recommended by my girl Jennifer..thanks!), but hell if I even know how to select one!

The last place you need to go for nutrition for competition is a nutritionist. Training Brianna for comp and competing myself has reinforced my belief that nutritionists are trained completely wrong and about 20 years behind the times. Brianna's journey to leanness was MUCH easier than you would ever imagine and was more about common sense than textbook bullshit.
It's funny that I have interviewed many fitness and figure competitors and they all hate their diets and they all go nuts post competition with eating bad stuff. Brianna did not do any of that, and neither do I post comp. We drink wine up until the contests and we eat many things that are very enjoyable and flavorful up to a few days out from comp.
We are going to write a book about going from 30% to 11.5% and we are going to make it very practical. I think that us both writing it and putting my perspective as a coach and her perspective as the competitor would be an innovative and inspiring approach to dieting that has not been done before.
Do you all think it would be a good project?
