I'm Melanie Briony, and I've been actively engaged in the health, fitness and wellness industry for over 14 years.
Maintaining my health, fitness and strength has always been important for me, but as I entered my late 40s, I encountered unexpected challenges like sleep difficulties, excessive soreness and poor recovery after exercise that left me searching for answers.
​
Navigating peri-menopause, trying to decipher what was just ageing and what was menopause-related, I realised I wasn't alone. Women in my age group were facing similar struggles including weight gain, low energy, you name it—after years of putting others first.

I realised it was time to learn as much as I could about peri-menopause changes and self care practices like breathwork. With my background as a fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle coach, I'm dedicated to helping women over 40 find supportive and practical health and wellness solutions to common issues. This is why I created the Resilient Woman Coaching Program. This program is for women just like us. Women who know how important it is to stay fit, strong and resilient as they age but who also want up to date information that is relevant to this life stage.
Honestly, though, contemplating menopause should commence 15+ years before it unfolds. The foundation for robust bones is laid in youth and sustained through mindful nutrition, regular movement, and a dedication to self-care. That's precisely why I train women aspiring to feel incredible in their bodies and proactively plan for a vibrant and robust older age.

My Vision
Menopause and the natural process of aging should not be perceived as ailments; it's time to break free from this mindset. Women deserve comprehensive knowledge about their options, empowering them to stride confidently towards their strongest and healthiest lives. The journey ahead requires accurate information and expert guidance. From my standpoint, the fitness industry holds a crucial role in supporting women during this pivotal life stage. Physical activity isn't merely beneficial; it's fundamental to our overall well-being – physically, mentally, and emotionally. While resistance training remains important throughout a woman's life, its significance amplifies as many women begin slowing down. Say goodbye to those petite pink dumbbells; women not only want but also need effective lifting routines as they age. I've committed myself to dispelling societal misconceptions about ageing, aiming to assist as many women as possible in embracing their most powerful midlife and beyond.
