I offer classes, coaching and products to women who are ready to take steps to improve their health, feel stronger and more energetic, feel good in their bodies again and get their creeping weight under control.

My typical client is a woman who is around 45-65 years old. She comes in feeling unhappy or confused about her body and the changes that are taking or have already taken place.

She has been so focused on her family and/or her job that she has paid no attention to herself and has watched her body gain more fat in old and new places and has felt her energy diminish but has felt that she has had no time for herself.

Or she might have tried many different diets, joined the gym several times, bought exercise equipment and never used it effectively. Now she is feeling frustrated, discouraged and without much hope.

CAN YOU RELATE TO ANY OF THESE SCENARIOS?

• “I want to exercise. I know it’s good for me but I’ve been working so hard at my job I just couldn’t seem to fit it in."

• “I’ve been doing the same routine for years now and my body is changing and I don’t know why and I don’t like it."

• “My doctor is giving me six months to get my weight down and see if my cholesterol and blood pressure will go down or she’s going to put me on medication and I don’t want to take any medication."

• “It seems like every time I get started into an exercise routine someone in my family needs me and I can’t keep it up."

• “I exercise several times a week but it doesn’t seem to make any difference. My belly is just getting bigger and I really want to get rid of it.”

I work with women from their mid-40s to about 70 who are ready for practical, personalized, reality-based strategies to move into and through this period of life and achieve the health and vitality they desire and deserve. There is no reason this cannot happen.

Many of my clients have full time jobs and if they have kids, the kids are either in high school, college or beyond. Their time has been totally filled with the needs of their work and/or their family.

They are tired and frustrated that they can’t stick to an exercise program, that they can’t stop the nighttime eating, that they have no time for themselves. And now their doctor has told them to lose weight for their health.

My clients have dreams and desires of what they want to do in the next phase of their life and they know they want to be healthy for all of it. They are ready to give some time and priority to themselves and to achieve more balance in their life.

WHO I WORK BEST WITH

You are ready to take action, to take baby steps to change. You know that the changes you seek won’t happen overnight and you are ready to start with step one and stay on the path with support and guidance to help you stay motivated and committed. The lifestyle changes you are after come slowly, little by little, and you have the desire to keep exploring.

You are open to experimenting to see what works best for YOU. You know there is not one right way that works for everyone so you’re willing to work in partnership to discover what works best for YOU.

You are thoughtful about your experiences and value learning from them and gaining insights by observing yourself in a loving, nonjudgmental way. It’s exciting to notice and see things in new ways.

You love to learn. There is a lot of new information about women’s health and exercise and eating and what is effective. You are open to learning and are curious. I am also open to learning from my clients.

You value commitment and sticking with a process even when obstacles arise. You know that obstacles are inevitable in any learning and change process. However, you value not giving up.

You know that we are each ultimately responsible for what happens to us and you are willing to take that responsibility.

You understand the importance of support and open communication. You are not afraid to ask for support and are willing to be open and candid in your communication. You understand that sometimes you might feel vulnerable and you can allow that and ask for support.
