You know strength matters more than ever
But knowing what your body needs after 40 - and actually putting it into practice - are two different things.
YOUR BODY COMPOSITION IS CHANGING
But you're not sure you're doing enough - or doing the right things.
YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD BE STRENGTH TRAINING
But you're not sure you're doing enough - or doing the right things.
PROTEIN, CARBS, FASTING, SUPPLEMENTS...
The advice for women in midlife can feel contradictory.
CONSISTENCY IS HARDER THAN INFORMATION
You may know a lot already. Putting it all together is the challenge.
YOU WANT TO PROTECT YOUR FUTURE HEALTH
Not just lose a few pounds for the next few months.
If you're nodding along, you're in the right place
Flourish was created to help you stop piecing together disconnected advice and start building a clear, personalized approach to strength, nutrition and health after 40.
"If you feel like your are doing everything right and not seeing results, this program is for you! Catherine is an amazing coach who will guide you through the process of giving you the framework you need to move forward." — Cindy
is this you?
Imagine if, 10 weeks from now...
- You felt stronger, more energetic and more confident in your body — and began noticing signs that your body was responding, whether that's steadier energy, fewer cravings or your clothes fitting differently.
- You knew how to train for your health after 40 — with a clear understanding of how strength training, cardio and VO₂ max fitness fit together, and what your next steps should be.
- You knew how to fuel your body with enough protein, fiber and nutrients without obsessing over food or constantly second-guessing what you should eat.
- You understood how strength, nutrition, sleep, stress and recovery work together to support your metabolism, body composition and long-term health.
- You had routines that worked in your actual life, so a busy week no longer meant abandoning everything and starting over again.
- And instead of feeling confused, overwhelmed or stuck, you felt clearer, more confident and empowered about how to take care of yourself now and where to go next.

"Flourish Over 40 was such a meaningful experience for me. Catherine created a program that is incredibly thoughtful, well-structured, and supportive, with the right balance of education, coaching, and community. I learned so much about how to support my body in perimenopause - from nutrition and strength training to mindset. I made real, sustainable changes, and I feel noticeably better — stronger, more confident, and more in control of my health." - Shannon
"The modules and programs were very useful. Catherine’s positivity is very inspiring, makes you feel confident that you can do it. Group chats helpful to know other women are experiencing what you are experiencing. The testing at the beginning was very helpful to see where you are. We should all spend more time focusing on ourselves"

"When I was going through perimenopause and menopause I was overlooked and underserved by the medical profession. I was left feeling confused and dismissed. I only wish I had found Catherine’s information and support years earlier but one of the most empowering things I have learned is that it is never too late to make positive changes, no matter your age."

"Catherine, the clarity and structure that you brought to this topic was incredible! Your ability to personalize certain topics to me was valuable. Even my baseline is so much healthier than it used to be. It's just a no-brainer now"

I've spent the last seven years helping women navigate health after 40
I'm a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach specializing in midlife women's health, hormones and integrative nutrition. For the past seven years, I've helped women navigate the changing health priorities of perimenopause and menopause. My work is informed not only by professional training, but by my own experience navigating perimenopause and recognizing how dramatically our bodies, and what they need from us, can change during these years.
As founder of the Boston Perimenopause & Menopause Community, I also work closely with clinicians and women's-health experts to bring evidence-informed education and practical support to women throughout Greater Boston.
My philosophy is whole-person and action-focused: knowledge only matters when we can put it into practice. I believe midlife can be an incredibly powerful chapter. We know ourselves better, we're wiser from experience, and we're often more ready to prioritize what truly matters. When we address the symptoms and barriers that have been holding us back, we can turn that wisdom into action - taking ownership of our health and intentionally building our strongest next chapter.

Still wondering if Flourish is right for you?
IS FLOURISH RIGHT FOR ME?
Is Flourish right for me if I’m not very fit right now?
Absolutely. You don’t need to already be strength training or consider yourself “fit.” Flourish meets you at your current starting point and helps you build from there.
I’m already active. Will I still benefit?
Yes. Flourish isn’t only for beginners. If you already exercise, you’ll learn to be more strategic about strength, cardio fitness, nutrition, recovery and your long-term health.
Do I need to be in menopause?
No. Flourish is designed for women 40+ navigating the changing health priorities of midlife — whether you’re in perimenopause, menopause or postmenopause.
HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?
I don’t have much time. How much will this add to my week?
Flourish isn’t designed to give you another full-time job. You’ll attend one weekly coaching session, review a compact weekly module, and apply what you’re learning through the meals, movement and routines already part of your life. The goal is to help you focus on what matters most, not add more to your plate.
What if I can’t attend the Wednesday calls live?
All weekly coaching calls will be recorded, so you can stay current if you need to miss a session. You’ll also have ongoing access to the private group chat for questions and support between calls.
Do I need a gym?
No. You’ll receive a basic strength workout that can be adapted to your starting point and available equipment, while learning the foundations of effective strength training so you can build a plan that works for you. If you already belong to a gym or work with a trainer, Flourish will help you evaluate and adapt what you’re already doing to better support your midlife strength, fitness and healthy-aging goals.
Will I receive a diet or meal plan?
Flourish isn’t a prescriptive diet program. You’ll learn how to build meals that support your protein, fiber, energy and metabolic-health needs, and how to adapt those principles to your preferences, lifestyle and goals.
What if I have an injury or medical condition?
Flourish can help you adapt healthy habits around many common midlife challenges, but it doesn’t replace medical care or physical therapy. When appropriate, I’ll encourage you to work with your healthcare provider and modify exercise to your individual needs.
Is metabolic testing required?
No. Advanced VO₂ max and metabolic testing is completely optional and can provide additional data to help personalize your approach. If you already have recent DEXA or body-composition results, we can incorporate those insights as well.
ENROLLMENT + SUPPORT
What is the VIP coaching option?
VIP is an optional add-on for women who want more individualized support. It includes two private 50-minute coaching sessions with Catherine — one during onboarding and one at midpoint — to go deeper into your goals, challenges and progress and further personalize your Flourish experience.
When does Flourish begin?
Pre-program onboarding begins the week of September 28. Flourish runs October 4–December 11, 2026, with live coaching Wednesdays at 12:00 PM ET, October 7–December 9.
Is Flourish worth the investment?
Flourish is 10 weeks, but what you build is designed to serve you for years to come. You’ll leave with the knowledge, skills and habits to continue building strength, supporting your metabolism and protecting your long-term health.
Think of Flourish as an investment in your future decades, and in having the strength and capacity to keep doing the things you love as you age.
