What worked in your 20s and 30s has stopped working. The weight is settling around your middle, your sleep is off, and your energy isn't what it used to be.

I'm a menopause weight loss coach at GFIT Wellness for women in their 40s and 50s who are navigating perimenopause or menopause and want to take control of their metabolic health. They're busy professionals, caregivers and moms who have tried different diets and programs and want to finally understand what's happening in their bodies.

I understand because I'm in perimenopause too. I came to GFIT as a client in 2020 after years of trying different weight loss programs, and it changed my body and my relationship with food and exercise. I also bring a medical background: I hold a Master of Physician Assistant Studies and a Master of Science in Cardiovascular Physiology.

That background is the foundation of how I coach. I'll explain how falling estrogen affects where you store fat, how you sleep and how your heart and metabolism respond to exercise, and then we build your plan around it: strength training to protect muscle, cardio that supports heart health without draining you, and nutrition, sleep and stress habits that keep your metabolism working for you. When you understand the science, the plan makes sense, and it sticks. Coaching works alongside your own doctor's care, not in place of it, and I work with women online across Canada.
