Reinventing yourself in midlife isn’t about becoming someone else.
It’s about coming back to you, with better tools.
Less white-knuckling it. More support. More confidence in your choices.
What’s one part of your life that’s ready for a refresh, your energy, your body, your boundaries, or your mindset?

🚨Feeling like you are a victim of your own body and hormones in your 40’s and 50’s? Here’s what I wish I had known aged 46…
I was not fuelling my body to balance my blood sugar , build daily energy or protect my bone, brain and heart health at 46.
Instead I used food to manage my mood: coffee first in the morning so my brain would turn on, a glass of wine at night to relax and sweet treats just to feel some joy in the midst of my over-scheduled day.
My anxiety and menopause symptoms were debilitating!😫
I told myself I was too busy to eat and restricted my food to try and shrink my body… still I gained weight and spent everyday overwhelmed and exhausted.😫
Menopause isn’t the end of your vitality, it’s the beginning of your power. 🔥
Menopause is not a problem to fix or survive.
It’s a biological transition that invites you to reclaim energy, pleasure, sleep, and agency, starting with how you nourish your body.💃🏼💪🏼✨
In perimenopause and menopause, your symptoms aren’t random or a personal failure. They’re signals from a body that’s stressed, under-fuelled, and asking for support, not restriction.
✨ Nutrition can calm your nervous system
✨ Food can support hormone balance
✨ Eating enough is foundational to feeling like yourself again

Menopause is not your hormones “marching out the door.”
And your body is not broken.
In menopause, estrogen fluctuates and declines—but your body has a built-in hormone support system designed to help you transition with far fewer symptoms than you’ve been led to believe.
The problem isn’t your biology.
It’s the fear, misinformation, chronic stress, and under-fueling that keep women stuck in a victim mindset.
I’m done letting the algorithm decide when women learn the truth.

What does a woman do when she hits her late 40’s and feels 75 on the daily?
Let me tell you...you have a choice of aging from where you are today or you pull up your big girl panties and take a long hard look at your life and your health and start making changes.
For me this included returning to school and training in nutrition.
I arrived at my desk with:
A sluggish thyroid, which slowed my metabolism to a snails pace and left me feeling bloated, fat and unhappy.
Adrenal fatigue which left me feeling tired all the time...even on waking!!
Blood sugar spikes and crashes which left me craving carbs all of the time and crashing with zero energy in the afternoon...cue more carbs!
Aching joints, 30lb to lose, sleep disrupting anxiety, a bloated and gassy belly and varicose veins.
I felt deeply unhappy in my life and in my body...I was old before my time, overwhelmed by even fun family events and I was missing out on the enjoyment of life and on loving myself.
Funny story...after repeated visits to my doctor I was told that this was normal for my age and I should EXPECT to feel achy and tired at my age.
For the first time in my life I took a stand for my health and my happiness. I found teachers that could show me the way and I began to question everything I had been doing to get my body back.
Turns out, the diets, restriction and hours of cardio that worked for us in our twenties and thirties do not work for the peri-menopausal woman.
In midlife our hormones are changing and our bodies respond to deep nutrition, tender self-care and intuitive eating. Our midlife bodies are our biography and midlife is a time when we can get to know our bodies again, learn what foods support thriving midlife health and ‘listen’ to emerging health issues to discover the dense nutrition our bodies need.
I ate to support my adrenal and thyroid glands, ate to balance blood sugar levels and support my very best brain health. I ate for heart health and to reduce anxiety and promote sleep. The weight began to melt away.
What is this miracle diet? It is real whole foods and an abundance of delicious plant based recipes that supports me to feel comfortable in my body, happy on the daily, sleeping like a baby at night and bursting with day long energy when I wake in the morning.
I am now passionate about helping other women to take time in their middle years to address ongoing health issues or even to embark on a full midlife health makeover so that they can reclaim their energy and find the joy in everyday.
Midlife is the perfect time in life for a woman to return to herself, to offer herself deep nutrition and loving self care, to change lifelong self-sabotaging habits, to lean into eating MORE of the foods that support your optimal health and to begin to practise self-love....sometimes for the first time.
Aging is chronological but it does not have to be biological.
Together we can find a step by step pathway made up of science based nutrition, delicious recipes and practical self-care that will support you to enjoy the best health of your life during midlife.
