Meet Louise, Founder

The go-to practitioner & coach for avid active women, runners & endurance athletes through our holistic 1:1 Academy.

My Story: I firmly believe you are fully capable of working with your fierce female body to unlock your best DESPITE the world telling us we "can't" overcome women's health concerns & that aging inevitably will be the death of our health, fitness, physique & running. Here's why:

Growing up I was always sick, anxious, told I was destined for disease due to my genes & not "built" to be a runner. Thus, I dedicated my life & 12 years in college to study physiology, fitness, human performance, nutrition, women's health & integrative wellness to do something about it!

Unfortunately, my body lacked estrogen since my youth. I tried all the "right" strategies I learned in my masters work, research fellowships & when working in pro sports. I looked like I was crushing it as I did amazing things like win awards for my innovation in women's health, earned over 15 advanced credentials across fields, overhauled my nutrition to get pregnant after 4 years of infertility, ditched 60 pounds successfully & kept it off, went of mental health meds, safely ran 74 half marathons while pregnant & even pulled the classic runnermom move of pumping breast milk at start line of the Boston Marathon.

However, my body was STILL talking to me & it was time to learn how to listen!

Reality was, I was a high-stress Army wife trying to do it all & trying to do it perfectly. I was STILL struggling with brain fog, anxiety, bloating & fatigue that never went away. At age 33, after fiercely advocating for myself in our broken healthcare system, I was diagnosed with premature menopause, stomach precancer, Osteoporosis, gut infections, hypothyroidism, autoimmune diseases & more!

I was told there was nothing I could do but HRT, meds & $1,000s in lab work & supplements, so I took a step back & asked, "WHY is my female body fighting me?" It was like no doctor or my expert fitness & integrative health peers had EVER stopped to ask this fundamental question!

As an industry leader in women's health, holistic wellness & human performance science, why couldn't I help myself?! I realized the best practices I was applying to support my health, fitness & running were NEVER designed specific to how our female body ACTUALLY works! In fact, when I examined root cause mechanisms in my own female body, nearly ALL of my cutting-edge wellness habits, fitness, nutrition, diet & running strategies were draining my hormones, gut health, metabolism & energy, making things worse. So, I designed my own methods using the best female-specific science I could find to turn my breakdowns into breakthroughs.

I shocked my doctors as I reversed my health with a simple & low stress whole food, holistic lifestyle & exercise approach that SUPPORTED my female body instead of working against it! It wasn't that complicated when I knew how to work with my body's needs & maximize natural hormone production, as I didn't need a crazy diet, endless supplements, HRT or meds.

I restored my hormones, metabolism, gut health & energy, unlocking the vibrant, healthy & happy woman I was always meant to be despite my obstacles & incredibly busy high-stress life. I then shocked myself as these simple science-based methods were also the key to unlocking my best fitness: I FINALLY started to look lean & fit, ditch stuck body fat, gain strength, rebuild my bones, ditch injuries & improved running to the point of qualifying for a competitive team! Our female body is f*cking amazing & yours is too!

Today, our methods combine the best emerging female 35+ specific science & my biggest lessons learned, fully customized to what works best for YOUR body, goals & life!

Ready to keep it practical as hell?

It's my goal to empower you to ditch hormone havoc, optimize vibrant well-being & unlock your best health, energy & fit functional high-performing body without wasting the time, energy & money it took me to figure it all out!

Meet Coach Amy 

Heads our partnerships with gyms throughout the U.S. & small group programs for non-runners & active women at moderate to beginner levels.

My Story: Despite my integrative health, fitness & personal training certifications, I felt stuck not really looking the part of a health & fitness practitioner. I also realized being so busy, I was living to support others more than myself. 

If you feel stuck & like your body is fighting you despite your best efforts, I've been there. Symptoms like feeling sluggish, like I wanted to murder someone every time my cycle came & my go-to workouts & nutrition no longer producing results drove me nuts! These changes happened overnight, which was also shocking when I worked so hard to be fit & strong.

I felt stuck with old injuries despite years of PT & chiropractic, which was epically frustrating as I do love to run & stay active with my family. I didn't want to feel like I was breaking down in my 40s! I knew it was time to learn how my female body was changing & how to keep doing something about it simple. So, I took a leap & reached out to Louise for support.

Through consistent application of our program's strategies that were tailored to fit my busy schedule & body's individual needs, my results now reflect the hard work & dedication I put into my nutrition & fitness. My range of motion improved, I ditched my injuries & learned simple & sustainable ways to fuel best fitness results. I now get comments on my physique & most importantly, feel like my freaking self again! 

I still enjoy a good wine, love to have my splurge meals & live a go-go-go life, but now I have the strategies to work with my female body & not against it. I'm grateful for my experience in this program & can't wait to support your journey. 

If you're done playing a guessing game with your changing body & ready to unlock your potential to maximize a vibrantly fit, well & beautiful life, let's f*cking go!
