Is This You?

I help women in midlife who are tired of being beaten down by trying to lose weight, trying to be fit and trying to exercise. They are ready to step onto a new fitness path, one that is nurturing instead of punishing. My clients want fitness that makes them feel whole instead of deficient. They also want an approach that they will stay motivated to do for the rest of their lives.

Do You Relate to Any of the Following?

“I dread exercising. It feels like a chore or punishment. Over the years I’ve tried every type of gym and workout, but I always lose my motivation and drop out.”

“I feel so discouraged. I’m 30 pounds heavier than I used to be. I don’t know how it happened or how I can stop the weight from continuing to creep up on me.”

“I don’t have time for one more thing. I’m constantly on the run and while I’d like to take better care of myself, I just can’t find time to exercise.”

“I’m tired and often feel down. I know that what I really need to do is start taking care of myself.”

“I’ve spent most of my adult life hating my body and struggling to lose weight that just won’t come off. I don’t want to spend the next half of my life wasting so much energy and money. There has to be a better way.”

“I exercise regularly, but dread doing it. I wish I could look forward to exercising instead.”

If one or more of these scenarios is true for you, read on. You’ve come to the right place!

What We’ve Been Taught Leads to Failure

Most women in midlife have spent 20 to 30 years of their adult lives cycling through diet and exercise programs, eventually giving up when results don’t match expectations or they lose their motivation. Unfortunately, this has caused many of us feel that we have failed or are simply lazy.

But it isn’t your fault. And, you are NOT lazy.

We have learned an approach to exercise and weight control that LEADS TO FAILURE. We’ve also been taught that exercise is harder than it actually needs to be! This approach motivates us to START but not STAY MOTIVATED, which prevents us from achieving our fitness, self-care and weight-related goals. Have you experienced this?

Would you like to learn a new approach to fitness, one that leads to fulfillment and daily well-being instead of dread and failure? My EssentialSteps approach is customized to YOU and can EASILY fit into your busy life. It teaches you how to use fitness as a way to connect to your authentic self and live more fully.

When physical activity fuels you and your life on a daily basis it becomes meaningful and important to you. Only when women consider exercise as their essential steps do they stay motivated to fit in fitness - for good. EssentialSteps works because it is based on 16 years of research about creating lasting exercise motivation and behavior in women over 40.

I will show you how to become physically active in ways that nurture and fulfill you so you can realize what you most value as well as become more effective in all of your roles and responsiblities. Importantly, the change process you learn in my EssentialSteps program can be applied to any other behavior or area of your life.
