About Me
Helping women 40+ lose weight sustainably, feel strong again, and finally love how they feel without hours of cardio or starving.
Hi, I'm MJ - I help women in midlife lose weight, rebuild confidence, and restore a healthy metabolism without extreme dieting or overtraining.
Most of the women I work with aren't lazy or lacking discipline… they're just exhausted. They've tried eating less, doing more, and starting over every Monday and their body still won't respond the way it used to.
That's where I come in.
Inside my coaching, we focus on what actually moves the needle in midlife: strength training, nutrition that supports your hormones and metabolism, reducing inflammation, and creating consistency that fits your real life.
This isn't a quick fix. It's a sustainable strategy that helps you feel better, look better, and stop living in the all-or-nothing cycle.
If you're ready for a plan that works with your body instead of against it, I'd love to help you.

I’m Melissa — most people call me MJ — and I help women 40+ lose weight sustainably, feel strong again, and finally feel like themselves in their bodies.
I’ve been in the fitness and nutrition industry since 1999, which has given me a deep understanding of how bodies change over time especially through stress, hormones, and midlife transitions.
Earlier in my career, I spent years in competitive fitness. That experience taught me discipline and structure but it also showed me how damaging extreme dieting, overtraining, and all-or-nothing thinking can be long-term. Today, my coaching reflects what actually works and lasts.
I focus on personalized nutrition, strength training that fits real life, gut health support, and nervous system regulation. If you’re tired of starting over and ready for a smarter, more sustainable approach, I’m here to guide you.
Why Choose Me?
I’ve been in the fitness and nutrition industry since 1999, and I’ve learned one important truth: what works in midlife is very different from what worked in your 20s or 30s.
Most women I work with are consistent, disciplined, and motivated — but their body still feels stuck. That’s not a lack of effort… it’s a mismatch in strategy.
