For many women, the hardest part of strength training isn’t the workout — it’s walking into the gym feeling unsure, out of place, or afraid of doing something wrong.
My role as a personal trainer isn’t just to guide your workouts.
It’s to help you feel confident, capable, and supported every step of the way.
This is personal training for women who want to feel strong — not judged.
Menopause requires a coaching approach that understands how the female body changes over time. Hormone-aware coaching adapts training, nutrition, habits, and recovery to support your body instead of working against it.
In my 1:1 online coaching, we focus on:
Learning proper form and how to use equipment with confidence
Building strength in a way that feels safe, sustainable, & effective
Training in a welcoming, non-intimidating environment
Building confidence to walk into any gym knowing what you’re doing
My goal isn’t to push you harder than you’re ready for.
It’s to help you trust your body and feel proud of what it can do.
Midlife bodies require a smarter approach to training.
We focus on strength, mobility, and consistency — without burnout or fear of injury.
Just as important, we work on rebuilding confidence. Because strength training isn’t just physical — it’s mental, emotional, and deeply empowering.
You won’t just leave stronger.
You’ll leave more sure of yourself.
All personal training sessions take place at Riverview Wellness in Chesapeake, VA — a supportive, professional environment designed to help you feel comfortable and successful.
If you’re ready to stop feeling intimidated and start feeling strong, I’d love to train you.
