Two ways to train with me: in person at my Smithville studio, or online through The Menopause Training Club. Whichever stage you're in — building strength in your 20s, juggling life in your 40s, or navigating perimenopause and beyond — there's a doable path back to feeling strong.
Small groups. Big intent. We train hard, laugh harder, and build the kind of strength that carries you through your real life — lifting kids, lifting groceries, lifting yourself out of bed feeling solid.

You're not imagining it — and you're not failing. Your body is moving through a real, measurable hormonal shift, and the old playbook genuinely stops working. Here's what most women come to me with:
The diets that worked in your 30s have stopped responding — and the harder you push, the more it backfires.
The 3pm slump, the forgotten words, the overwhelm out of nowhere. It's not just stress — it's your blood sugar, sleep, and nutrition talking.
Falling asleep fine, waking at 3am, never feeling rested. Cortisol, blood sugar, and stress are all in the mix.
The cardio-and-light-weights routine isn't moving the needle anymore. In this stage, strength becomes everything.
Start with the Audit. Move into the Reset Method when you're ready for deeper support. Stay in the Club for ongoing coaching long after.
Finally know what's actually going on. The cravings, the 3 p.m. crash, the bloating, the sleep that won't stick, the weight that won't move — your report connects every one of those dots back to how you're eating, so you stop guessing and start with a plan that's yours.
You get a full personalized report across all 5 nutrition pillars, what's likely driving your symptoms, and the two or three priorities that will actually move the needle first — paired with a personal coaching video where I walk you through your results like we're sitting across from each other. Pause it, re-watch it, come back to it at 10 p.m. when you finally have a minute. It's yours to keep.
Prefer to chat first? Send me a message — happy to answer questions before you decide.
One simple checkout. You'll get a confirmation and your intake link within minutes.
A thoughtful 15–20 minute survey that maps your symptoms, patterns, habits, and goals.
A simple food record + nutrition correlation tracker so we see what's actually happening day-to-day.
Your full personalized report covering all 5 nutrition pillars, what's likely driving your symptoms, and your top priorities — plus a coaching video of me walking you through it, just like we're sitting down together. Yours to keep and re-watch. Delivered within 10 business days of submitting your food log.
Audit clients receive a special invitation into the Reset Method if you want to go deeper.

Intro to your stage + the 7 Archetypes of Perimenopause assessment so we coach you, not a generic protocol.
Protein, blood sugar, the 80/20 plan, plus meal plans & recipes for Weeks 1–4.
Meal timing, cortisol, hydration — the timing dials that change everything.
Phytoestrogens and superfoods that may support your transition, plus meal plans for Weeks 5–8.
Strength, smart cardio, and recovery designed for the way your body responds now.
The practical, plain-language toolkit for falling and staying asleep — not generic advice.

I'm 50, fully menopausal, and I've been in the fitness industry since 1998. A husband, a household, hypothyroidism for 20 years, two kids who lived and breathed sports at the highest level — and — oh yes — a full lap through perimenopause to remind me what a 3 a.m. hot flash actually feels like. So when a client tells me she can't focus, can't sleep, and is wondering why her body suddenly feels foreign, I'm not nodding politely. I'm nodding because I've been there too.
I'm also the woman who lifted heavy for years and never once thought about what she was eating. Strong as anything in the gym, exhausted and frustrated outside of it — because you genuinely cannot out-train a body that isn't fueled. That chapter is where the nutrition side of my coaching was born. The hard way. So you don't have to do it that way.
Then came the kid-scramble years — and honestly, a lot of my clients are in the thick of similar seasons right now, so when I say I get it, I mean it. My daughter was a world-champion cheerleader, which meant flights to Dallas and competitions in between; my son played AA and AAA hockey, and went on to Junior B and A — 5 a.m. ice times, weekend competitions, hotel-room dinners at 10 p.m., a calendar that wasn't really mine. Perimenopause showed up at 38, full menopause at 48, and at 45 I stepped on the bikini stage in the middle of it. None of that made me superhuman. It just made me very practiced at figuring out how to train, eat, and show up inside real life — not on the other side of it. That's exactly what I coach now. We're in this together — and you can absolutely do this too.
My focus today is strength and longevity, not chasing a physique. Evidence-based nutrition and training, built for women whose hormones, energy, and recovery are changing. Plain language. No bro-science. No crash plans. Real-life shifts that actually hold.
October 2021. Forty-five years old. Seven years into perimenopause, hypothyroid, juggling life. I wanted to know if it was still possible to build real strength and condition in this body — and to do it without the punishing playbook the industry usually sells women.
It was. And the prep taught me almost everything I now teach my clients about training and nutrition in midlife. Today my goals are different — strength, longevity, energy — but the principles are the same.
Honest, evidence-based articles on perimenopause nutrition, training, GLP-1s, sleep, cortisol, and what's actually changing under the hood.
What these medications actually do, why menopause changes the equation, and the practical levers that protect muscle, energy, and the long-haul.

Coming soonWhy this happens, what your nutrition has to do with it, and a few real-life shifts that may help.
Coming soonPerimenopause can start in your mid-30s. If you're noticing shifts in your cycle, energy, sleep, weight, mood, or how your body responds to training and food — even subtly — you may already be in the perimenopause transition. The Perimenopause Reset stream is built exactly for cycling-but-changing bodies.
Yes. The Menopause Reset stream is specifically designed for early post-menopause (within the first 5 years) and late post-menopause (5+ years). The hormonal shift continues to influence muscle, metabolism, bone, and energy long after periods stop — and the strategies in this stage are different from perimenopause.
No. The Reset Method is designed to be done with dumbbells at home or in a gym — your choice. The training is scalable, the nutrition is real-food and works with grocery stores you already shop at, and we adapt around your real schedule.
Most nutrition coaching is written for someone 20 years younger. This is built around the way perimenopausal and menopausal bodies actually respond — sensitivity to stress, blood sugar instability, changing insulin response, sleep and appetite shifts. We focus on the foundational habits that support your hormones, not push against them.
I also use possibility language — we identify correlations and coaching priorities, not diagnoses. This is a coaching framework, not a medical one.
It's a done-for-you written audit, not a call. You purchase, get a confirmation email and your intake link, fill out a guided 15–20 minute intake, then log five days of food. I personally review everything and send back your full personalized report — covering all 5 nutrition pillars, what's likely driving your symptoms, and the top priorities to start with — plus a personal coaching video from me walking you through it. All within 10 business days of submitting your food log. No scheduling, no awkward first meeting. You get the insight in your inbox.
You'll have your full personalized report and a coaching video from me with personalised recommendations and your top priorities to shift first. If the Reset Method is the right next step, audit clients receive a special invitation. If it isn't, you'll still walk away with foundations you can implement immediately.
Yes. All coaching is online — clients work with me from across Canada, the US, the UK, and beyond. Pricing is in CAD; payment is processed in your local currency at checkout.
A full personalized report + a coaching video from me — mapping how your nutrition is actually showing up in how you feel, with clear next-step priorities. $79 CAD, delivered within 10 business days. Designed to be the easiest "yes" you'll make this year.
