I help women build muscle, eat well & optimize their lifestyle to kick ass in midlife!

Sometimes life is messy and shit gets tough, but I know firsthand what the power of strength training, proper nutrition and lifestyle habits can do for mental and physical health.

After fumbling through autoimmune issues, multiple surgeries, and (unknown to me!) early menopause, I found strength in the weight room, and began taking responsibility for what I was putting in my body.

I’m here to help you discover how putting your health first can transform your life too!

A healthy body equals a happy life. But don’t take it from me!
