As a nutrition and women's fitness coach, nurse, and someone who has lost 120 lbs in my 40s and successfully maintained that weight loss, I am passionate about helping women over 40 achieve their weight loss goals, transform their bodies, and boost their confidence.

I understand that weight loss can be particularly challenging for women over 40 due to hormonal changes, menopause, and stress. However, it is not impossible! With the right strategies, you can reach your weight loss goals and transform your life.

That’s why I created my MMR program, specifically designed for women like you. I want to share my knowledge and experience so that you can reach your full potential.

If you are a woman over 40 who is serious about losing weight and transforming your body, this program is for you. 

Are you ready to:

- Lose weight without gimmicks?

- Finally achieve the body you desire?

- Enjoy food again without guilt?

- Fit into your clothes and feel great?
