About Courtney
I help women 40+ build muscle, boost energy, and prevent bone loss—so they can feel strong, confident, and in control of their health again.
Courtney is a physician assistant, menopause health coach, and clinical nutrition expert who helps women over 40 transform their strength, metabolism, and mindset—without extreme diets or exhausting workouts.
It all started when…
I woke up one day in my early 40s and felt like I didn’t recognize my own body. My energy was low, my strength had slipped away, and I was suddenly dealing with bloating, joint pain, and brain fog that made everyday life harder than it needed to be. I was doing all the “right” things—eating healthy, moving my body, checking all the boxes—but nothing was working like it used to.
And worse? No one was talking about it.
I felt frustrated and alone, wondering if this was just how midlife was going to be—slower, softer, more tired. As someone who spent years working in medicine and health, I knew something was off… but I didn’t know what to do next. That uncertainty shook me. And I knew other women had to be feeling this too.
But then everything changed…
My turning point came when I started diving into the research on menopause, muscle loss, and bone health—and realized just how much we’re not told as women. I learned that our changing hormones dramatically impact strength, energy, metabolism, and recovery—and that we need a different approach in this chapter.
So, I stopped doing what used to work. I started strength training with intention. I focused on protein. I let go of the idea that cardio was the answer and started training smarter. I prioritized rest, stress, and recovery—not just harder workouts. I shifted my mindset from “shrinking” to “strengthening.”
I began to feel like myself again—only better. I had more energy, I felt leaner and stronger, and the brain fog lifted. My confidence returned. And I finally understood how to work with my body, not against it.
Now I’m able to:
...wake up with energy and clarity.
…train with strength and purpose.
…feel proud of the body I live in.
…support other women on their journey to midlife health.
I created this coaching practice to help women who feel like I once did—frustrated, tired, and unsure what to do next. My background as a physician assistant, yoga instructor, and menopause health coach means I blend science and soul to guide you with empathy, strategy, and support.
This isn’t just a job—it’s my mission.
