My clients have struggled with low energy, hormone changes, health issues, and self-doubt. They have tried to lose weight before and were unsuccessful or gained it back.

You're Not Alone...

OVER 50% OF WOMEN OVER 40 ARE OVERWEIGHT

And many have coexisting physical or mental health conditions. Some are not easily diagnosable. You could be experiencing chronic fatigue, headaches, brain fog, anxiety, depression, insomnia, body aches, or skin issues. These are all symptoms of chronic inflammation, which is a cause and effect of extra weight. Studies show that chronic inflammation is the precursor to more serious health problems, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer.

THE GOOD NEWS IS...IT CAN BE REVERSED!

In other words...it's not too late. Using the Lighter Self methodology, you will be shown the most effective way to reduce fat and inflammation long-term, with 1:1 guidance from me every step of the way so you're not alone on this journey.

It's Not Just About Diet & Exercise.

CALORIES IN VS. CALORIES OUT...IT SHOULD BE SIMPLE, RIGHT?

Well...yes. And no. As women, and especially as we get into our 40s and beyond, several more factors come into play. It's also about hormones, stress, inflammation, underlying health conditions, lifestyle factors, nutrition, and mindset. All of these factors can affect our body's tendency to either hold on to or let go of extra weight.

FACT: Metabolism doesn't start to slow down until we're in our 60s unless certain factors slow it down prematurely.

THIS IS WHY A HOLISTIC APPROACH IS MORE EFFECTIVE

You are a whole person with many factors to take into account. My program acknowledges these different factors while also working with you one-on-one to account for your unique individuality.

IN THE PAST, YOU MAY HAVE FOCUSED ON DIET & EXERCISE ALONE, WHICH OFTEN LED TO...

Frustration, Exhaustion, and Guilt.

1. YOU'RE DONE TRYING ALL THE DIETS AND GAINING THE WEIGHT BACK.

You try calorie restriction, Keto, Weight Watchers, intermittent fasting, and all the rest...but then you fall off the wagon because none of these diets are sustainable. You eventually gain the weight back. This leaves you feeling ashamed and frustrated.

2. YOU'RE DONE STARTING EXERCISE PROGRAMS THAT AREN'T SUSTAINABLE.

You join a gym or a class. You go religiously at first, but then you end up exhausted and stop going. Maybe "life got in the way" and you never went back. Perhaps you even get injured, putting a halt to your progress. Maybe you don't start an exercise program at all because you don't know where to begin, are too fatigued, have mobility issues, or don't have the motivation.

3. YOU'RE DONE FEELING GUILTY WHEN YOU INDULGE ON FOOD OR SKIP A WORKOUT.

You beat yourself up for your lack of "willpower" and discipline, which sends you on a downward spiral towards giving up on everything, possibly even causing you to binge eat. And then...you find yourself right back where you started.

What Makes Lighter Self Any Different?

YOU WON'T BE REQUIRED TO COUNT CALORIES OR FOLLOW A RESTRICTIVE DIET

You will be shown what and how to eat in a way that naturally optimizes weight loss so you don't have to obsess over counting points or calories or weighing out your portions. There will be no fasting or cutting out carbs. You can even still indulge every once in a while. It's all about balance!

YOU WILL BE WORKING 1:1 WITH A HIGHLY QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL

I am a registered nurse who has worked with patients with a variety of health conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, and depression. I am also a former fitness studio owner and board-certified coach trained to help people reach their goals. I have led hundreds of women towards weight loss and better health.

I'M PASSIONATE AND 100% COMMITTED TO YOUR SUCCESS

My passion and profession is to help others. I care deeply about my clients' success and wellbeing. I will personally be working with you along the way to ensure you're making progress and guide you through any roadblocks.

THE HOLISTIC APPROACH IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE

The reason most weight loss plans don't work in the long run is because the focus is too narrow, not taking into account important factors such as stress, anxiety, sleep, health conditions, hormones, personal relationships, environment, triggers, and coping mechanisms. We will address all of this.

A Personal Note From Me

I WAS A YO-YO DIETER AND PRONE TO BINGEING

I was yo-yo dieting for the majority of my life since the age of 12. I've done low cal, low fat, low carb, Keto, intermittent fasting, detoxing, crash diets, weight loss drugs...you name it. Between diets, when I would get fed up with all the restrictions, I would binge while trying to convince myself that I was OK with the extra weight because "I'd rather be chubby and happy than skinny and sad." What I didn't know back then was that my underlying anxiety manifested in an unhealthy relationship with food. Eating was a coping mechanism for stress. The cycle would continue, because I never got to the source of the problem.

I ALSO STRUGGLED WITH PHYSICAL & MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

When I was overweight, I didn't like having full body pics taken, and I would always discretely try to cover myself up with my posture. I wore oversized clothes to cover my "rolls." I hated exercise and would become short of breath just walking up stairs. I was having frequent panic attacks for no known reason.

It wasn't until I was diagnosed with a chronic condition and put on medication that I decided to start focusing on my health using evidence-based holistic methods. What I discovered was life-changing.

I have since stopped struggling with my weight. My health is great and I'm physically fit. I'm off all medications. I no longer have panic attacks. I'm still a "foodie," but have a much healthier relationship with food. Most importantly, I feel at peace with myself and my body. This is all possible for you, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT KIND OF TIME COMMITMENT IS REQUIRED?

The length of the program is 12 weeks. Each week you will have a mini-training video and short action task to complete, as well as one weekly private coaching session of 45-60 minutes. Everything can be done according to your schedule. I recommend setting aside 2 hours per week.

WILL I HAVE TO FOLLOW A STRICT DIET AND GIVE UP A BUNCH OF FOODS?

You won't be following any diet at all. You will be guided towards nourishing food and how to make the most of it so you feel satisfied. Don't worry, you won't be eating salads all the time. There will be no fasting or cutting out carbs. There will be no counting points or calories or weighing out your portions. You will be surprised at how filling and satisfying a healthy meal can be if you do it right, and I'll show you how. You can even indulge sometimes. It's all about balance!

WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE TIME TO COOK OR DON'T LIKE TO COOK?

This program was designed with the busy woman in mind. I will suggest simple meal plans and recipes and ways to prep so you're not spending a lot of time in the kitchen. For those completely averse to cooking, I can provide weekly meal delivery service suggestions (if available in your area).

WILL I HAVE TO GIVE UP ALCOHOL?

No, but you may want to cut down, depending on how much you drink.

WILL I HAVE TO JOIN A GYM?

Not if you don't want to. We will explore your "exercise style" and preferred ways to move your body and decide what would work best to get you moving a little more. Walking is great exercise for women over 40 and I highly encourage it if that's all you can do for now. If you have mobility issues or physical limitations that make it difficult to work out, not to worry...you can still lose weight with this method even without exercise.

WHAT IF I HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS, LIKE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR DIABETES?

Then this program is perfect for you! We will get you moving towards optimal health and hopefully even reverse the diagnosis. As a registered nurse, I will help you monitor your health status and make sure you're doing things safely. Please disclose any physical or mental health conditions before onboarding and be sure to consult with your healthcare provider before starting the program.

WHAT IF I HAVE CHRONIC PAIN OR LIMITED MOBILITY?

I work with a lot of chronic pain patients and can tell you that it is possible to lose weight and improve your health even with physical limitations and a lack of exercise. Furthermore, this method can reduce inflammation, which leads to decreased pain and improved mobility.
