You’re doing everything “right” but weight is not shifting?
You eat pretty well. You exercise. You’ve tried cutting calories, fasting, eating less, tracking your food or starting another diet. Yet losing weight has become harder.
Maybe your weight is creeping up around your middle. Your sleep has changed. You’re more tired. Cravings are stronger. Your mood is unpredictable. You don’t feel as strong as you used to.
And you’re thinking: “I’m doing all the right things. Why am I still gaining weight?”
That’s exactly where my coaching starts.
We look at the whole picture: nutrition, protein, calories, blood sugar, sleep, stress, movement, strength, recovery, symptoms and your individual patterns and then build a strategy you can actually follow.

You don’t need the same level of support as the woman next to you.

Work directly with me to create a personalised nutrition and weight-loss strategy based on your goals, health and lifestyle.
We track your progress, identify patterns and make adjustments as your body changes.
Want coaching, structure and the support of other women?
My group coaching programme gives you a clear framework to improve your nutrition, health and weight while learning alongside women going through similar challenges.
Want professional advice without ongoing coaching?
Book a 60-minute 1-on-1 consultation where we look at your nutrition, weight, health and goals.

An Introduction to This Stage of Life
I focus on helping women with menopause and perimenopause weight loss, gut health and energy levels in New Zealand and overseas. However, first, we need to ask ourselves, what is perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause, usually starting in a woman’s mid-30s to early 40s, and can last 4-10 years or longer for some. During this time, hormonal fluctuations cause symptoms like irregular periods, heavy bleeding, rage, mood swings and weight gain. Sleep disturbances, joint pain, and fatigue are also common. Hormone levels gradually decrease, making this phase challenging, but lifestyle changes like proper nutrition and exercise can help manage symptoms.
Menopause occurs when a woman has gone 12 months without a period, typically around age 50. It marks the end of menstruation and significant drops in oestrogen and progesterone. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. These changes can affect quality of life, but symptoms vary widely in intensity and duration among women.
Postmenopause begins after 12 consecutive months without a period and continues for life. Many menopause symptoms, like hot flashes, subside, but the lower oestrogen levels may increase the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. Symptoms like vaginal dryness and decreased libido can persist, so ongoing health management, including exercise and regular check-ups, is important for long-term well-being.
