Health Coaching & Personal Training for Women over 40
Reclaim your health, boost your metabolism, achieve lasting weight loss, and get in shape with personalized health coaching for women over 40 who have put themselves on the back burner.
It’s time to ditch the one-size-fits-all. Health coaching is tailored precisely to your needs, providing one-on-one support for your unique life goals and challenges.
We take a personalized approach that recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution and instead tailors strategies to address individual challenges and aspirations, making success not only possible but sustainable.
This is not an all-or-nothing hardcore program.
We drop the all-or-nothing mindset and we start in a manageable way.
Together we build a custom nutrition & fitness plan that works for your body, so you can feel amazing!
You won’t find any fad diets, detoxes, or restrictions here because not only do they not work long-term, but they wreck your metabolism and leave you burnt out.
This time it is going to be different. It is going to be a lasting, sustainable transformation that you are going to feel good about.
Are you confused by all the nutrition advice out there? Keto, Intermittent fasting, and low-carb, fats are bad, no wait fats are good..... And the list goes on!
It can be overwhelming listening to all the information out there telling you how to eat, to do lots of cardio, drink a special weight loss shake, or try a juice cleanse.
No wonder so many of us end up on diets and falling off track, binging and then restricting what we eat, and shaming ourselves for failing again.
Let me clear something up.
You haven’t failed, this system of quick fixes and diets has failed you. And it is going to stop right here!
Michele’s Approach is Different…
By taking a holistic & balanced approach, we get to the root of what is leaving you in this endless cycle.
We clear of the diet confusion and we start to break down the unhealthy relationship between food and exercise.
No more exercising to burn off those extra calories.
We drop the food restrictions and set you up with a solid foundation that is something you can maintain, feel good about, and accelerates your fat loss.
You're going to learn the WHY behind things, how to keep things simple, and how to actually implement new habits and strategies for you to be successful.

A holistic approach that creates sustainable results!
“I’m down 8.5 pounds in one month! I’m certainly feeling a little more like myself. Not nearly as bloated and my cravings have settled down. I’ve been focusing more on not restricting my food, but watching my portion sizes.”
-Jessica
As a mom of 4 & a military wife, I have had my struggles…
I completely understand how tough it can be to eat right, make time for workouts, and stay consistent.
We all know how important these things are if you want to feel good, look good, and have the energy to be the best you can be…
But being caught in a vicious cycle of yo-yo diets and failed workout attempts can be really discouraging.
After having kids, I was struggling. I wasn’t dropping the extra weight, going up a flight of stairs left me breathless, and I just didn’t feel good about myself.
I couldn’t fit into my clothes and I didn’t want to buy the next size up.
So what did I do? I started taking one step forward.
I was able to drop the extra weight, fit into my old clothes, run upstairs without being out of breath, lower my cholesterol, and decrease my autoimmune symptoms without dieting!
So I’m here to empower you! Take your wellness into your hands!

"I am so excited about the results after just a little over a month with my personal training sessions with Michele. She made a customized workout that was perfect for where I was and what I needed. She is helping me with nutrition and goals each week. I already have so much more energy and I’m starting to see changes physically in the areas I wanted to tone up. I would highly recommend Michele. She can help with all the things nutrition and fitness!"

What does a health coaching session look like?
Each session typically lasts around 25 minutes held over the phone or a video call and is focused on addressing the specific struggles and barriers that are holding you back from achieving your health goals.
During these sessions, we can cover a wide range of topics depending on your needs.
For example, we might dive into practical strategies for meal planning or organization. Alternatively, we could explore the emotional reasons behind nighttime overeating.
Additionally, health coaching sessions may include deep breathing or meditation to help you tune into your body and make decisions that align with your health goals.
The beauty of health coaching is that it's highly flexible and tailored to your unique needs and preferences, always guided by your goals and what you want to work on.
Health Coaching Steps
01 — Assessment
We start by understanding your current health status, goals, challenges, and motivations. This helps us establish a baseline and identify areas for improvement.
02 — Habit Setting
Together, we set realistic and achievable habits so you can start creating success and feel confident.
03 — Eduction
I provide you with evidence-based information and resources related to nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep, and other relevant topics.
04 — Mindset Support
We work through emotions, feelings, and patterns, so you can adopt new habits and behaviors that support your health goals. This may involve overcoming obstacles, building resilience, and working on mindset.
05 — Accountability & Support
We celebrate successes, address setbacks, and adjust the action plan as needed. Throughout the coaching process, I offer guidance, encouragement, and support to keep you motivated and focused on your journey to better health.

Not only will you get to work on your nutrition & getting in shape, but you will also work on your mindset. We will break down any thoughts that are holding you back. Sometimes we aren’t even aware of these thoughts till we start working on them.

Michele has helped me cut 2 minutes off of my 1.5 mile run as well as guided me to running 20 minutes without walking! I’ve been sticking to her workouts for 10 weeks and I’m starting to notice my body change and my muscles are getting stronger! I just had a baby in August and her workouts have eased me into a healthier lifestyle. I also enjoy the app as it is super user-friendly. My habit tracking has kept me away from sweets for three weeks now and soda all but one day a week! I totally recommend Michele Riechman for your lifestyle journey!

Michele's program was just what I needed. She's helpful, non-judgmental, and works with you to design a program that works specifically for you and your lifestyle. The app is amazing. She gives you the workouts that you need to do each day. They're quick and you can fit them into your schedule at a time that works for you. Michele is always very encouraging and stays in touch regularly through the app which provides great accountability. I have just loved this experience!

The 1-1 coaching sessions were key in helping me really know what to eat without being restrictive. I was able to lose weight right in the first month! Michele’s workouts were easy to follow and they were the just-right challenge. I was extremely happy with her support & accountability. She would check-in on me throughout the week and was very helpful when I had questions. I felt all the changes I’m making are things that I can sustain and keep doing. I also really enjoyed the deep breathing and meditation exercises and found that I was able to de-stress and have more energy after them.
FAQs

I do not have you follow a certain diet or way of eating. I do encourage eating lots of minimally processed foods, vegetables, and making sure you are getting enough protein. If you follow a certain way of eating (like vegan or keto), you are welcome to continue to eat in a way that is working for you. There are no strict rules. People lose weight following all different diets and each person is different with what works for them.
-
No, a lot of times we can create specific habits to make changes in your nutrition without having to track everything. Sometimes at the start, we may journal what you are eating for a few days to get a baseline. This can be handwritten or tracked on the phone. I do have some clients that like to track and log their food, so if it is helpful you may continue. Some clients also find using hand portions a great way to know what they are eating without being obsessive.
-
The three main workouts to choose from are strength training (with hand weights, body weight, or therabands), yoga, and high intensity interval training (HIIT). Cardio may also be added in, but is not the main focus. We will work together to design an exercise program that you want to do.
-
We start right where you are. So that may just be adding movement and walking to start with. Then we might add in 5-10 minutes of strength training and eventually work up to more. My goal is to find the just right challenge for you, so you keep coming back to exercise.
-
Most of the time the answer is YES. If you are released from your doctor to move and to exercise, we can start within your limits. For example, if you can’t stand, we can create a program around sitting. Also if you have more of an old injury generally adding in gradual movement and exercise can help tissues to heal and your body to feel better. When you have chronic pain and you don’t exercise, muscles get tighter, you get weaker, and it can actually increase your pain. We can discuss any concerns and specific injuries on a free call or you can send me a message.
-
No, this is a total body wellness program. So not only do we focus on weight loss, but also long term health. We focus on: nutrition to fuel your body and make it work better, stress reduction, changing thoughts that are impacting your health, and sleep & recovery.
-
Getting on a free Wellness Breakthrough call is a great way to start. If I don’t think you are great a fit or I can’t help you, I will let you know. But if you are willing to follow the process, make some changes and stay consistent, your body will start changing. My clients are my first priority and I will help guide you along the process.
-
Within 7 days if you don’t think this is a good fit for you, you can be refunded back your money minus a processing fee and minus $50 for any live session that has taken place.

I get it! I remember paying $500/month for my daughter to do competitive tumbling when she was little, but I would have struggled to spend that much on myself & my health. I have definitely reframed the way I think about spending money on my health, especially once I started having some autoimmune issues. I can’t tell you how to spend your money, but I do think we have to invest in our health because it affects our whole life.
-
If you have a supportive coach, you will find that you are able to do so much more for your health then you can do on your own. When you get clear on exactly what you need to do and stop wasting time on things that are not helping, you will see that time becomes less of a struggle. As a mom of 4, I try to keep things simple & effective. Getting on a free call will help me to decide if you will be a good fit or if it is truly not a good time.
