You’re not broken. Your body just changed the rules.

I help women over 40 stop dieting and start understanding what’s really going on.

I’m Renee. I’m in my 60s, I’ve been where you are, and I’ve been coaching women through this since 2016.

Here’s what I’ve learned: the weight isn’t really about the food. It’s about the stress eating at 9 PM. The exhaustion that kills your willpower. The hormonal chaos nobody warned you about. The emotional patterns you’ve carried for decades.

I don’t hand you a meal plan and wish you luck. We dig into what’s actually driving the cycle — together. The late-night cravings, the 3 AM wake-ups, the ‘I’m doing everything right and nothing’s working’ frustration. We figure it out.

No judgment. No conversation off the table. Just honest, real work that changes how you live — not just how you look.

“Renee listens and responds with the perfect mix of wisdom, humor, and guidance. She created a safety net and system of accountability that I needed, as it forced both reflection and action on my part.”

-Susan from Illinois

 

1-on-1 Coaching

Your Corner. Your Pace. Your Breakthrough.

This is for the woman who’s ready to stop guessing and start getting real answers. Over 3 or 6 months, you and I meet every other week to untangle what’s really keeping you stuck — the habits, the stress, the hormones, the stories you’ve been telling yourself about your body.

Group Coaching

Do It Together. Go Further.

Small groups of 4–6 women meeting every other week for 3 months. You get direct coaching from me AND the power of hearing other women say, ‘Oh my gosh, me too.

Every group has a focus — sleep, stress eating, fasting, midlife health — so you’re learning alongside women working on the same things you are.

Same depth as 1-on-1. More perspectives. More accountability. More affordable.

Grab your sister, your coworker, your book club friend — or join a group and make new ones.

‘I would recommend Renee to my female family and friends who are in need of help transitioning through the perimenopausal process.’ — Julie, Illinois

New groups start every few months. Email me to get on the list.

Monthly Support Circle

Stay Connected. Stay Accountable.

Once a month, women from all over the country hop on a call to check in, share wins, talk through setbacks, and keep the momentum going. Think of it as your monthly tune-up.

This is perfect if you’ve finished coaching and want ongoing community, or if you’re not ready for coaching but want to start somewhere.

No prep required. Just show up as you are.

Wellness Parties

You bring the living room (or the office break room, or the church hall). I bring a fun, eye-opening mini workshop on a topic your group cares about — sleep, stress eating, fasting, navigating menopause, or aging with energy.

Think Pampered Chef, but instead of cookware, your friends walk away with real strategies they can use that night.

Topics to choose from:

  • Sleep Better Tonight – why rest is the missing piece of weight loss

  • The Midlife Metabolism Shift – what changed and what to do about it

  • Intermittent Fasting 101 – the simplest on-ramp to feeling better

  • Stress, Snacking & the 9 PM Spiral – breaking the cycle

Local to Bloomington-Normal or surrounding areas? Let’s set a date.

You host, I bring everything else. Slots fill up fast.

 

How It Works

We Talk

Book a free 20-minute call. Tell me what’s going on. I’ll listen, ask a few questions, and we’ll figure out if working together makes sense.

We Build Your Plan

No cookie-cutter programs. Based on our conversation, I’ll recommend the right fit — whether that’s 1-on-1 coaching, a group, or one of my workshops.

We Get to Work

Every other week, we meet and dig in. Between sessions, I’m in your corner via text or email. You set the pace. I keep you honest.

You Transform

Not just the number on the scale. The way you think about food, your body, and yourself. That’s the real win.

Working Together

Let’s meet by phone, FaceTime, Zoom or if you’re local, in my sweet space!

Testimonials

  • Renee is amazing! I’m so blessed to have been recommended to her by a dear friend that also worked with her. She is patient and knowledgeable. She works with you not just in areas of eating and health, but in areas of life. She cares deeply and will challenge you- but be honest. She doesn’t judge, she listens and responds. I loved working with her.

    -Brittany from California

  • I would recommend Renee to my female family and friends who are in need of help transitioning through the perimenopausal process. She is able to help women identify their wellness issues, educate them on how to repair the broken pieces, support them in the restoration of their health, and guide them in the development of a reasonable, sustainable lifestyle for many years to come. 

    -Julie from Illinois

  • Renee helped me realize that procrastination (which led to stress) was a big trigger to overeating and eating at the wrong times. This helped me realize, for example, if I tidy up the kitchen before going to bed, I eat less in the morning because I’m not stressed by a messy kitchen. 

    -Lynn from Illinois

  • Renee does not overwhelm you, but rather she helps you to reach your goals in manageable, doable steps. She is gentle and kind in her approach and she is a great encourager! She really listens to where you’re at on your journey and helps guide you through it, step by step. I couldn’t have done it without her! She was so helpful to me, in fact, that when my six months with her was over I asked if she would be willing to coach me for another six months.

    -Kim from Texas

  • I loved it! For the 1st time in 30 years, with your help, I’m cured of “diet brain.” Yes, it’s a lifestyle change but, in each session, you teach in a way that brings huge relief. Keep doing what you do!

    -Abby from Illinois (Intermittent Fasting Workshop)

  • Thanks for the great information and encouragement! Two great quotes stick with me: “Delay don’t deny” and “What’s wrong with being hungry?” Very helpful!

    -Beth Ann from Illinois (Intermittent Fasting Workshop)

  • My biggest takeaway was the impact of putting all the information together; it’s doable and it’s simple.

    -Janet from Illinois (Intermittent Fasting Workshop)

  • Through working with Renee, I have come to the place where food doesn’t rule me anymore. I’m free! 

    -Lisa from Illinois

  • Renee is my coach, an ally, a confidante and a friend. She is an excellent listener and teacher and has a true heart for encouraging women to become the best version of themselves. I personally have lost weight, increased my energy and have confidence and joy.

    -Laurie from Illinois

20 minutes. No cost. No pressure. No pitch.

Just an honest conversation about where you are right now and whether coaching makes sense for you. If it does, great — we’ll map out a plan. If it doesn’t, I’ll point you in the right direction.

I’ve been doing this since 2016. I’ll tell you the truth, and I’ll do it kindly.
