Serenity Weight Loss
SERENITY WEIGHT LOSS COACH
My name is Melissa and I help women 40+ Finally Lose the Weight - Without Fighting Your Body
If you’re over 40 and doing everything “right” — eating less, exercising more — and still not seeing results, it’s not you.
Your hormones, metabolism, muscle mass, and stress load have shifted. The old strategies don’t work anymore.
My personalized coaching program is designed specifically for women 40+ who want sustainable, hormone-smart fat loss without restriction or burnout.
Why Women 40+ Struggle (And How We Fix It)
After 40:
-
Estrogen fluctuates
-
Recovery slows
-
Cortisol rises more easily
-
Muscle mass naturally declines
So eating less and exercising more only increases stress on your body.
Instead, we focus on:
• Protein to protect muscle
• Strength training over endless cardio
• Nervous system regulation
• Strategic calorie deficits (not starvation)
• Sleep and recovery
Fat loss becomes a result of support — not force.
What Makes This Different
We don’t slash calories or add more cardio.
In our first week together, we identify one small but powerful adjustment that creates immediate momentum. From there, we build a plan that supports your metabolism, protects muscle, and fits your real life.
What You Can Expect
✔ Sustainable fat loss
✔ 3–5 pounds lost in the first 30 days for most clients
✔ Stable energy and fewer cravings
✔ Strength-focused workouts
✔ Simple structure that works with your schedule
No extremes.
No starting over.
Just strategic support.

About Me.
My name is Melissa and I am a certified wellness coach and fitness instructor with over 20 years of experience. I am passionate about good food and body movement and I love inspiring others to live their best lives and feel amazing in their bodies.
I always struggled with food. I was overeating, under eating or emotional eating. I had body image issues and never happy with how I looked. My pattern of binge eating had me starve myself and then gouge myself, again and again. I was miserable.
Food was my drug of choice. I would use food to push down difficult feelings and thoughts. I also used food to feel a sense of control when life got crazy.
During one of the most difficult times of my life, all of this came to a head. I was depressed, recently divorced, and unemployed. It felt like food was all I had to live for. I quickly gained 70 pounds which put me over 200 pounds.
It felt impossible to lose this weight. Every time I started, I would pick up one of my favorite binge foods & it was over.
I didn’t know where to start, but knew I had to do something. I’ll never forget my turning point. A good friend of mine said, "Is everything OK, because I almost didn't recognize you." Ouch!
I realized I had work ahead of me, not only to lose weight, but to transform the relationship I had with food, my emotions and my body. It felt daunting but I started to believe that with the right support I could do it. I joined weight loss support groups, worked with a dietitian and holistic nutritionist. I exercised as much as I could. I even signed up for a triathlon thinking that would motivate me. It took time and discipline but I eventually reached my goal weight and have maintained it for over 10 years. I combined everything I learned into my program.
I became a certified wellness coach through IPEC (Institute of Personal Empowerment Coaching) and began coaching others on their weight loss journey. My passion for fitness led me to become a certified ACE Group Fitness Instructor, teaching classes for over 10 years.
I believe that one plan does not fit everyone and that each person is unique. This is why in my program I create a personalized plan for you, together. During our sessions we will identify your goals, triggers, lifestyle and habits. I will also keep you on track and accountable with weekly check in’s and celebrate your wins.
I look forward to working with you! You are worth it!
