How I Help - Women's midlife 40+ fitness & Nutrition coaching

I have worked in the fitness industry for almost 20 years. I have been an athlete all my life, from classical ballet to kung fu to kettlebells and powerlifting. Over the course of my career as an entrepreneur and fitness leader, I built 4 profitable multiple 6-figure businesses that collectively grossed multiple 7-figures, and had a very successful and rewarding career in the fitness industry.


However, all of that hustle and success did not come without an impact on my health and lessons learned to motivate me to regain balance and well being, so that I could continue to thrive and achieve my highest badassery.


If you are a high performer like me, then I’m sure you can understand how the drive to succeed and achieve your goals can override what is best for your health. Often, you don’t feel the repercussions until you reach a significant age milestone when the effects of the stress that you put your body through are compounded by the natural biological changes that come with aging.


Growing up in Newton, MA, I was fortunate in that I was raised in a house where organic whole foods, farmers markets, home grown vegetable gardens, and walking everywhere (to school, to the T to go to ballet, etc.), was the norm. My mother did not allow us to ever have soda, chips, or sugar cereal. My dad had a vegetable garden, my mom would shop at the local farmers markets and Bread and Circus (now Whole Foods Market), and all of our meals were always home cooked. My mom was a Level 2 CHEK Practitioner so I learned early on about the dangers of processed soy, using the microwave and plastic food containers, and many other things that cause hormone imbalances.


However, even though I was raised in a healthy household on homemade meals with whole organic foods, and learned early on the practice of an active lifestyle, I have still had my own health challenges.

In my early 40’s, after I closed my brick and mortar gym and moved from Boston to Las Vegas, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s auto-immune thyroid disease and Stage II Adrenal Dysfunction. 

Through Hormone Replacement Therapy and some researched-based adjustments to my nutrition and lifestyle, I thought I had it all figured it out and healed what I had harmed from starving myself and overexercising in my teens and 20’s, to the stress I put on my body from hustling to build my fitness business in my 30’s.

AGES 43 - 44

But then, in 2021 I turned 45 and the shit hit the fan. My body revolted like never before and my body no longer felt like my body.


AGE 45

I experienced bloating, inflammation, digestive issues, night sweats, fatigue, and, vaginal dryness.

My once egg-carton abs from strength training and careful attention to my nutrition were no longer to be found, and sex was so painful that I feared that my sex life was over, forever.


My body became extremely unforgiving and it did not matter how meticulous I was with my nutrition.


I would have good days and then bad weeks. I felt like I had no control over my body and that my hormones had gone rogue and were not just running the show, but some sick and twisted version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

since then, I have studied and applied the latest research on fitness, health, and hormone balance for women who are on the spectrum of peri to postmenopausal and worked to figure out how to feel good, build muscle, move well, and stay strong not just over 40, but over 45 and beyond.


AGE 48

If you are struggling like I did, I’m here to help you gain control of your health, get strong, and optimize hormone balance through fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle style changes to increase your health span.

what people are saying: balanced to thrive sucess stories

Emme Pan, Age 54, Los Angeles, CA

"Artemis, I never, *EVER* could have imagined getting the results that your programming has given me--not in a million years, not even if you'd promised it, and certainly not at this age! Your programming is a GIFT! Simple, personalized, and devastatingly effective. 


When I sought you out, I was approaching 50, struggling with some extra pounds and nagging injuries, and had finally gone searching for professional help when I failed repeatedly to complete a basic 20-minute workout with an 8 kg bell. I had no idea how to program for myself and I wanted serious results--without injuring myself.


From the start, you were amazing to work with, including your governing attitude about programming and the questions you asked about goals and concerns. Your process of working together is so easy! One zoom call a month, programming is delivered through an easy-to-use app that links to videos for every single movement, and when I needed extra support on something, I could share a video and receive great, helpful feedback cues in return. You knew exactly when to dial up the volume and how to do it safely, so I could keep going. You asked what else I wanted to achieve and then programmed workouts so I could hit my goals.


Results of your amazing methods have been incredible: I am in the best shape of my life--and I have been an athlete since I was a kid. In the year that we've worked together, you have helped me:


  1. Lose 19 pounds on the scale while adding muscle mass
  2. massively increase my aerobic capacity: that workout I couldn't halfway finish with the 8 kg bell, I recently crushed with a 16 kg bell
  3. Massively increase my strength: you gradually programmed me from two workouts a week up to four, and sensibly increased my weights and reps over time--I'm now moving over 300% more weight a week (at a lower body weight) 
  4. Increased my flexibility and physical resilience: your programming doesn't ignore stretching and strength balancing, and all my joints thank you for it. 
  5. Physical feats: dead hang pull ups! rebuilding my deadlift! a 20 kg TGU! strict-pressing and snatching a 16 kg! 

I didn't even know programming could achieve all these things in tandem! You and your programming are MAGICAL.

 

I am so, so grateful for you!"
