Our Why
At Mountain View Wellness, we are on a mission to empower women over 40 to break free from diet culture, embrace their strength, and take control of their health—while building a strong, supportive community that uplifts each other and inspires future generations to thrive through midlife and beyond.
We believe every woman deserves to feel empowered at every stage of life. Our expert coaches specialize in helping women thrive through personalized health and strength training.
Strength training is essential – Building and maintaining muscle is key to health, independence, and confidence in midlife and beyond.
Consistency over intensity – Small, sustainable actions done regularly lead to long-term success, rather than short bursts of intense effort.
Nutrition is personal – There is no one-size-fits-all diet. We focus on mindful eating and habits that align with individual needs and goals.
Hormonal changes require adaptation – Understanding the impact of menopause on metabolism, energy, and mood allows us to adjust training and nutrition strategies effectively.
Progressive overload is key – Whether through strength training, flexibility, or habits, gradual progression leads to sustainable growth without burnout or injury.
Mindset drives success – Reframing challenges and cultivating a growth mindset allows clients to embrace the journey, not just the results.
Balance between rest and work – Recovery, including sleep, is as vital as physical activity in reaching fitness and wellness goals.
Empowerment through education – Knowledge is power. Educating women on how their bodies work and the ‘why’ behind our methods fosters autonomy and long-term change.
Focus on health, not the scale – While weight loss may be a goal, we emphasize strength, energy, and overall health as primary markers of success.
Community and support matter – Positive social connections and accountability are crucial to staying motivated and committed to long-term change.

10. Do you work with couples as well as individuals?
Absolutely! In addition to individual coaching, I welcome couples who want to embark on their health and wellness journey together. Working as a team can strengthen both your relationship and your results as you motivate each other and develop new, healthy habits in a supportive environment. Many couples find that by making lifestyle changes together, they not only reinforce their commitment to each other but also make it easier to stick with healthy choices long-term. You’ll both learn practical skills to support each other’s goals, making the journey a meaningful and rewarding shared experience.
