You Deserve to Feel Seen, Heard, and Supported in Midlife.
Hi, I’m Judithe, and I’m so glad you’re here! I founded Strengthify Her Wellness Coaching (SHWC) because I believe that women 40+ deserve to feel vibrant, strong, and in control of their health—without crash diets, endless cardio, or confusing, outdated advice.
I know firsthand that midlife can feel like a crossroads—when what used to work no longer does, when your body feels like it’s betraying you, and when you’re left asking, "Is this how it’s going to be from now on?"
It’s not. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Over the last 20+ years, I’ve worn a lot of hats—marketing consultant, personal trainer, group fitness instructor, business owner, and health coach.
Every step of my journey has taught me one thing: real change happens when you combine science-backed strategies with personalized support—and when you meet women exactly where they are.
But it wasn’t until I found myself struggling with my own uncontrollable weight gain, a belly that looked like I was 3 months pregnant (even though I wasn’t), irregular periods, brain fog and extreme fatigue, did I truly begin to understand what it means to feel “off” in your own body.
I Created Strengthify Her to Do Just That.
At Strengthify Her Wellness Coaching (SHWC), I help women 40+ build strength, balance their hormones, and reconnect with their confidence — using movement, mindset, and evidence-based support tailored to this chapter of life.
This isn't about chasing a number on the scale or pushing through burnout. It's about learning how to move with purpose, fuel your body with intention, and build habits that honor your energy, emotions, and evolving hormones.
Whether you're an empty nester, running your business, in the peak of your career, sending your kids off to college or balancing everything in between, I’m here to show you that you can make time for your wellness, lose the weight, and reclaim your energy. You don’t have to make sweeping changes all at once. I’ll guide you with small, manageable steps that add up to lasting results.
What Sets My Coaching Apart
At Strengthify Her Wellness Coaching, I offer more than just fitness advice—I provide a holistic, science-backed approach that empowers women in midlife to thrive. Here’s what sets my coaching apart:
- Medical Fitness Expertise in Menopause and Hormonal Health With specialized certifications in Menopause Health and Functional Hormonal Health, I tailor your plan to work with your body’s hormonal changes, not against them.
- Evidence-Based Strategies I combine the latest research with practical, proven methods to ensure your wellness plan is effective and sustainable.
- Customized Wellness Plans Your plan is designed around your life, body, and goals—no one-size-fits-all solutions here.
- Expertise in Progressive Strength & Fitness Training I create strength training routines that help you build or retain muscle, boost metabolism, and increase energy for lasting midlife success.
- Lifestyle Medicine I integrate sustainable habits for nutrition, sleep, and stress management to support your long-term health.
- Collaborative Partnership We’ll work together in a compassionate, accountable partnership, creating an empowering plan that’s uniquely yours.
You won’t just get a cookie-cutter plan here. Instead, you’ll receive personalized coaching that empowers YOU to build the best chapter of your life—one that feels strong, confident, and in control.
What People Are Saying
“I’ve been training with Judithe for a couple of months now, and can’t recommend her highly enough! She has provided me with strength training knowledge and has motivated me in making progress towards my goals. Sessions with Judithe are focused and targeted. I’ve been very happy with the progress made to date and certainly couldn’t have done it without Judithe’s expertise and guidance. Totally worth it!”

“I am happy to recommend Judithe to my friends! Having her support and guidance while I worked on being a healthier version of me was really invaluable. Before working with Judithe, the only ‘exercise’ I was doing was walking my dog. I was tired, heavier than I wanted to be, and had no clue where to start. But Judithe made it feel doable. No pressure, no judgment—just small steps that actually worked. Now I’m moving more, feeling stronger, and my dog has to keep up with me. I still have a ways to go, but I finally feel like I’m headed in the right direction.”

“I honestly thought I was just burnt out from work and life—I had no idea perimenopause was even a thing. I’d never worked with a coach before, and wasn’t sure I had the time. But Judithe made it easy. She helped me figure out what was really going on, and gave me simple ways to fit movement, food, and rest into my schedule. I’ve got my energy back, I’m sleeping better, and I actually feel good in my body again. It’s been such a relief to have her in my corner.”

"Working with Judithe on my health and wellness has been like an extra power-up I didn't even know I needed in my journey! Judithe always brings a positive, upbeat, and energetic vibe to our conversations that makes me feel amped up and hopeful about making positive changes to my health. We've worked on a variety of topics, from my physical health like increasing my cardiovascular exercise, to more mental/emotional wellness like increasing my confidence and having my self-compassion. Judithe is also such an expert in exercise and nutrition, but has a great listening ear and helpful tricks for any topic I bring up. I would recommend Judithe to anyone who's thinking about taking control of their health and wants support on their wellness journey -- and I am excited to keep working with her!"

"Working with Judithe gave me strength - not only the quiet, internal kind, but also a powerful, visible one. She’s the first person who ever managed to encourage me to do strength training – something I never thought I’d enjoy ;-) - and for that, I’ll be grateful for the rest of my life.
Her approach is truly unique – she's strongly motivating and full of empathy and warmth. After every session, her empowering energy stays with me like a light I carry through the week. Each session with her is like a gift – full of smile, heart, depth, and authenticity."
