Aging Well Coaching

I used to think the scale told the whole story.

If it went down → I was doing well.
If it stayed the same → I was failing

These photos tell a very different story. Same weight range. I have always fluctuated between 135 and 140. But, I've really been focused on strengthening my body so these photos show a completely different body composition from where I started. More muscle, less fat, stronger. My weight didn't show me that.

This is what I remind my clients all the time:
The scale can be a tool…but it’s not the best judge of your progress.

If you’re showing up, staying consistent, and supporting your body, you are making progress.

You can ask yourself, how's my energy? How are my clothes fitting? Do I notice less puffiness? Do I feel better in my body?

Remember, you are doing amazing. Keep going, don't let the scale discourage you! It will catch up eventually if you stay consistent!

Sick day for this lady. Winston has been all over me with the snuggles and I'm loving it. Did you know puppy snuggles are basically medicine? Well not really, but they boost oxytocin (your feel-good hormone), lower stress, and somehow make everything feel just a little bit better.

10/10 recommend… especially when you're not feeling so 🔥 or you are feeling 🥵. Works either way.

Made some brown rice + quinoa in my Instant pot today as part of my weekly meal prep today. Super simple - cook it, cool it, freeze it, DONE.

It's actually better for you when reheated because once it is cooked and cooled, it forms something called resistant starch, aka fibre that helps your gut, steadies your blood sugar and keeps you feeling full longer.

It makes quick weekly lunches and dinners super easy. I just grab a portion from the freezer, tossing it with frozen veg + a protein, and boom, I have a nutritious, balanced meal!

I am a big fan of working smarter, not harder. I fo this with sweet potato and oats as well.

Anyone have a hack they use to save time during the week for meal prep? I'd love some more tips!

Breakfast with a view!

It took me well into my 40s to learn to rest. Years of programming to produce, strive for perfection. "Rest was for the weak" was so ingrained in the culture I grew up in. I work hard daily to overcome it. To just be. Rest isn't for the lazy, it's part of the effort. It's how we recover, repair, get stronger.

What about you…

Do you give yourself permission to rest or do you still feel like you should be doing more?

Good morning everyone!

Straight out of bed into my basement for some morning yoga flow to get my blood flowing, ease some stiffness, and boost my mood, focus, energy. I added morning yoga to my routine about two years ago to help regulate my nervous system and to be honest, stretch out my crazy tight hamstrings from too much running. What I didnt expect was the calmness lasting all day. It helps me stay emotionally flexible throughout my day making me more capable of supporting my kids roller coaster moods.

Do you have a morning movement routine or ritual that you find helps you in some way? I'd love to hear about it. I'm always looking to share what other people have tried and found helpful with my clients.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

If you could get support with adopting and staying consistent with one health habit, what habit would you choose?

There is room for all of us to grow together. Strong women lift each other up.

Happy International Women's Day.

Forever student! My kids help me evolve in ways I've never imagined. Trying to get a jumpstart on the next few years of lessons.

I wear pink today for the little girl I used to be and all others that have experienced a world that was unkind.

I was bullied so badly in elementary school that it changed who I was. Eventually, I was homeschooled for a bit because of how hard it became just to show up.

Bullying doesn’t just hurt in the moment, it reshapes confidence, identity, and safety.

Today I choose kindness.
Today I choose to be the safe place.

Please be kind and set the example for others.

Yummy Salmon Jars

This is my new favourite way to eat salmon lately. I will be honest, I do not like salmon, I am more a white fish type of girl, cod, tilapia, haddock, sign me up. So I have to get creative to get salmon into my diet. Here are some of the ingredients in this "jar" and why they are important to consider including:

Salmon – rich in EPA + DHA to help lower inflammation, support brain health, protect your heart, and preserve muscle, especially for women as estrogen declines.

Quinoa – fibre + plant protein to stabilize blood sugar and keep energy steady.

Spinach + Microgreens – iron, folate, magnesium + phytonutrients to support detox pathways and recovery.

Raw Bell Peppers – extremely high in vitamin C (more than oranges!) which supports collagen, immune health, and helps absorb plant-based iron.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil – polyphenols + monounsaturated fats → anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective.

Fresh Citrus + Garlic + Dijon – bright flavour without added sugar, plus immune and cardiovascular benefits.

And if you follow me, you know that I make sure all my meals are complete-in-3 so great sources of Protein, Fibre and Healthy fats! For me, this is how I support balanced blood sugar and hormones.
