Hi! I'm Dawn!

Your Perimenopause Body Code Coach

I help smart, successful women - like you! - lose weight and feel amazing in perimenopause and beyond, no intimidating workouts or restrictive diets required.

Why isn't anything working anymore?

Like many women in their 40s or 50s, you might be wondering what's going on with your body. You're eating healthy and exercising, but still can't lose weight. You feel tired all the time but can't seem to get restful sleep. The brain fog is REAL!

It's likely you're in the menopause transition years.

Perimenopause is a phase that occurs somewhere in your mid-30s to mid-50s when estrogen drops and you start transitioning into menopause. Once you've gone 12 months without a period, you're officially post-menopause.

The changes in hormone levels during this time can affect your body AND mind. Along with stubborn weight gain, you may be experiencing....

  • Unpredictable menstrual cycles

  • Insomnia

  • Urinary incontinence

  • Joint pain

  • Depression

  • Irritability

  • Anxiety

  • Mood swings​

Because these symptoms can come and go, it might feel like you're on an emotional roller coaster.

As your body changes, so should your approach to fitness and nutrition

The answer to your problems is not more cardio

Sometimes when we're not making progress our brain tells us "you're not doing enough". 

That you need more intensity or more complex strategies to solve your problems.

Trust me, burpees and restrictive diets are not the answer to your struggles.

 

[Cue sigh of relief]​​​

What you need is a holistic plan that includes exercise and nutrition strategies while making space for recovery, sleep and stress management.

I was hesitant to hire another coach as I've tried many programs in the past that didn't work. I was surprised that I could continue to eat the foods I love - and go out for girls' night - while still losing weight.

Enough is enough with all the fad diets and extreme workouts!

You're tired of quick fixes and one-size-fits-all solutions you can't maintain.

​​

Because life is busy.

You've wasted so much time, energy and money jumping from one plan to another, buying all the special foods (that you don't really like anyway) and following workout routines that are too time-intensive to fit your schedule.

​Now you want results you can maintain for the long-term with a personalized plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.​​

The time is now!

Did you know that menopause is a huge risk factor for chronic disease?

 

The loss of estrogen can:

  • accelerate bone loss

  • lead to a higher risk of heart disease, hypertension, and stroke

  • cause an increase in visceral fat, creating a higher risk of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease

  • trigger mood swings, anxiety, or depression

  • weaken the pelvic floor muscles

  • lead to increased inflammation

  • contribute to night sweats

 

While these changes are common, they're not inevitable. Educating yourself on what's happening with your body - and what you can do about it - during the menopause transition is critical!

 

I urge you to start making positive change asap.

Your 50-something self will thank you!
