Women in midlife face unique challenges when it comes to weight loss and stress management.
Hormonal changes, busy schedules, family life demands and work can make self-care impossible.
Emotional eating tendencies triggered by stress and frustration add
to the weight gain rollercoaster.
​
Balancing the desire for quick results with the need for sustainable, long-term change creates yo-yo dieting.
​
Struggling to find motivation and consistency in the face of setbacks.
Feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of weight loss and wellness information available.
​
Difficulty breaking old habits and establishing new,
healthier onesKeto, fasting , couch to 5k, fitness apps, the list is long.
None of them give you the hands on support you need to feel
confident you're moving in the right direction.
That's why the Midlife Summer Series is specifically designed for
women in this life-stage.

LONG-TERM WEIGHT-LOSS IN MID-LIFE IS NOT POSSIBLE UNLESS YOU ADDRESS FIVE KEY AREAS
STRESS
Managing stress in mid-life is the crucial component of successful weight loss. Consistently elevated cortisol levels result in chronic inflammation, interfere with the body's metabolism and increase insulin sensitivity.
​
SLEEP
Poor sleep disrupts the body's hormonal balance, increasing irritability and cravings for high-calorie foods. Optimising sleep increases mood stability and overall well-being, making it an integral part to weight loss during menopause.
STRENGTH
Join my weekly live workouts that will help you shed weight and build lean muscle. Muscle is metabolically active; therefore, the more lean muscle you have, the more you burn at rest. Strength training also protects bones against osteoporosis.
SUSTENANCE
Discover the power of gut-friendly foods that can help you achieve a healthy weight, balance blood sugar levels, and put an end to sugar cravings and crashes.
You will learn to eat to feel energised without resorting to quick-fix diets. These sustainable eating habits will help you achieve long-term health and wellness."
SOUL
Consider the vision for your Second Act: How do you want it to play out? Identify the things that genuinely excite you and bring joy. Assess what you need more of in your life, but just as crucially, pinpoint what you could do without.
WHAT YOU WILL HAVE AT THE END OF 12 WEEKS​
​
No longer need to count calories, cut carbs or feel like you are
constantly on a "diet" again.
​
Lose weight and know exactly how to continue to do so,
and then be able to maintain a healthy weight for the rest of your life.
​
Introduce stress management practices into your daily
routine that improve your mood, and your relationships.
​
Have more energy, better sleep, less brain fog and a better mood.
Realise just how powerful your new daily habits are.
​
Know how to thrive and live your best life, all whilst protecting your
future health!
