A Bit About Me
Health & Wellness Coach For Women Over 40
Menopause and ageing are not a disease and we need to stop treating them as if they are. Women want to know all of their options and to take empowering steps toward living their strongest and healthiest life.
The only way forwards is with the right information and guidance. I believe the fitness industry plays an important role in supporting women at this critical time in their life.
Physical activity is fundamental to our physical, mental, and emotional health. Resistance training plays an important role in women's health all through the ages, but even more so when many women begin to slow down.
No more tiny pink dumbbells, women want to and need to lift effectively as they age. I am making it my business to help as many women as can 'blow the lid off' society's preconceived ideas about ageing so that they can live their most powerful midlife and beyond.
Building resilient women, one woman at a time.

Melanie worked with us for 7 years as a Remedial Massage Therapist. Melanie quickly built up a very busy successful Massage Practice with us while still maintaining her work as a Fitness trainer. Melanie was extremely hardworking, reliable and a joy to work with. She always behaved in a professional manner and was an asset to the business. Melanie's colleagues and clients were sad to see her go and we wish her well in her new work.

Melanie has been fantastic at tailoring workouts for my specific goals and fitness. I first started seeing her when COVID-19 hit and gyms closed, and she was able to show me ways of exercising that kept me fit and built muscle, without the need for complicated gym equipment. Gyms are open now, but I have kept my sessions with Melanie, which are challenging and innovative. I recommend her highly.
