Melissa

Since 2023, I’ve coached women over 35 both online and in person. Helping them lose body fat, build muscle, and transform their bodies and minds. What sets my clients apart: a year later, they’re still maintaining the fat loss, still getting stronger, and still living it. Thriving as moms, professionals, and women navigating perimenopause or menopause. As a former massage therapist, teacher, and active healthcare professional, and a professional IFBB Pro Bodybuilder, I’ve seen firsthand what training consistently since age 39 can do for physical and mental health. Too many people struggle with issues that lifestyle changes could prevent. Health is the investment that pays back the most. If you’re ready to reclaim your energy and build a stronger version of yourself, or you’re an experienced lifter looking for a real challenge, let’s meet and grow.

Certifications:
Registered Respiratory Therapist (since 2009) ISSA Certified Personal Trainer & Nutritionist (2023-2024) Chronic Disease/Asthma Educator, Smoking Cessation Specialist, CPR Instructor (Heart & Stroke Foundation), Menopause 2.0 (Dr. Stacy Sims) (2026)
