When I hit menopause at 44, I was confused about how to feel better. I was tired, overwhelmed, juggling everything… trying to eat “perfectly” by day and reaching for sugar and wine at night to cope. (Spoiler alert: it didn’t help.)

Then came the guilt. The shame. The exhaustion. The weight gain. I know what it’s like to feel out of control around food and frustrated with a body that suddenly feels foreign. After years of chasing weight loss with rigid diets, only to regain it—I finally realized:

We’re not broken. We don’t need more willpower. And we definitely don’t need another diet.

What we do need is to stop wasting energy trying to shrink ourselves into a version of our 20-year-old body—and start listening to what our midlife bodies are actually asking for. Nourishment. Rest. Strength. Compassion.

By making small but powerful changes to how I ate, moved, and cared for myself, I reclaimed my energy, rebuilt trust with my body, and finally felt at home in my skin again.

Now, I help midlife women do just that. I teach them how to eat in a way that supports their hormones and blood sugar (without restriction), how to build strength with movement that feels good, and how to create space for themselves in a life that’s often centered around everyone else.

I offer a supportive environment where you feel feel heard, seen, and safe enough to be real—no more pretending everything’s fine.

Together, we stop the food drama, ditch the guilt, and build habits that lead to lasting strength, calm, and confidence—and back to the wisdom you’ve had all along!

Working with Kathleen was the best decision I’ve made!

I finally felt heard and was guided to make choices that finally improved my health. She helped me believe I could do it, and I did.
