Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who do you work with?

I work with anyone wanting to improve their quality of life, that being said I specialize in helping women ages 35 and older build strength, feel confident in their bodies, and improve overall health. Whether you’re brand new to strength training or looking to get back into it after a break, I create programs that meet you where you are.

2. Do I need to be “in shape” to start?

Not at all! Many of my clients come in with little to no experience in strength training. My sessions are tailored to your current fitness level, goals, and any injuries or limitations you may have.

3. What makes your coaching different?

I provide private, personalized coaching in a supportive studio setting—no crowded gyms or cookie-cutter programs. Every plan is tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and stage of life. While I specialize in women’s midlife health, I also work with kids, adults, and older clients, helping each person build strength, confidence, and long-term healthy habits.

4. Where are sessions held?

I train in a private, judgment-free home studio in Pembroke, NH. It’s fully equipped for strength training, with no crowded gym atmosphere. Online coaching options are also available for women who prefer training at home or live outside the area.

5. What if I’ve had injuries or health concerns?

That’s exactly why I do an in-depth assessment before starting. Programs can be adapted for joint issues, back pain, menopause-related changes, and other health considerations. Safety and progress go hand-in-hand.

6. Do you offer nutrition coaching too?

Yes! Nutrition plays a huge role in building strength, energy, and confidence. My coaching focuses on simple, sustainable strategies—no fad diets, no extremes. You’ll learn how to fuel your body with the right balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats.

7. How often do I need to train?

Most people see great results with 2–3 sessions per week, combined with lifestyle and nutrition strategies. I’ll recommend the best schedule based on your goals, availability, and recovery needs.

8. What should I expect in a training session?

Each session includes:

  • A guided warm-up

  • A strength-focused workout (compound lifts + accessory work)

  • A short finisher or conditioning piece (optional)

  • A cooldown and recovery work

You’ll leave feeling stronger—not drained.

9. How quickly will I see results?

Everyone is different, but many of my clients notice improved energy, strength, and confidence within the first 4–6 weeks. Body composition changes (fat loss, muscle gain) typically become noticeable after 8–12 weeks with consistent training and nutrition.

10. What if I’m nervous to start?

That’s completely normal! I pride myself on creating a supportive, welcoming environment. You’ll never feel judged—just encouraged. Many of my clients were once in your shoes and now can’t imagine life without strength training.
