Strength & Metabolic Health Coach

Member, The Menopause Society

I am a Houston‑based Strength & Metabolic Health Coach who works with women in perimenopause and individuals using GLP‑1 therapy. Both transitions require adjustments to strength training, recovery, protein strategy, and everyday habits. I combine evidence‑based strength programming with metabolic health coaching to protect lean mass, improve strength, and help you train with precision at this stage of life.


The Core Theory Method

The Core Theory Method is a strength‑first training approach and metabolic‑health coaching system built for women navigating perimenopause and individuals using GLP‑1 therapy. Every training session uses controlled weightlifting and precise form coaching, paired with ongoing guidance on recovery, protein, and sustainable habits, all inside a focused, non‑intimidating environment.

Our Foundation:

  • Deliberate tempo

  • Intentional movement

  • Thoughtful loading

  • Proper recovery

  • Consistent progression

No chaotic circuits. No random workouts. No pressure to keep up.
Just science‑driven strength that protects lean mass, supports your physiology, and builds confidence through measurable progress, backed by coaching that helps you make it a lasting lifestyle.

Strength designed for your stage of life.
A method you can trust.
