-American College of Sports Medicine Practitioner of the Year 2023 Press Release
Hi! I'm Louise - a mom, Army spouse, leading exercise physiologist, scientist & women's integrative health practitioner.
Perimenopause shifts begin in our 30s & wreak havoc on our health, hormones, energy, fitness & body composition - especially for runners. Welcome to the RIGHT place to take efficient action & thrive!
Turning my own breakdowns into breakthroughs led to a 23-year industry-leading career spanning pro sports, research & award-winning innovation in women's functional health, nutrition, running, etc.
Now, in my 1:1 Academy I help ensure you never face preventable setbacks & decline like I did due to dismissed symptoms & counterproductive methods that work against our female physiology.
With world-leading awards for "impossible results" in rewriting 1,000s of women's health, hormone & fitness outcomes, here's how I help you thrive through peri/menopause with *simplicity* & ease:
- Get 6 months *whole person* expert support, custom plans & efficient 1:1 sessions to get unstuck fast & confidently know how to fuel, live & train with your changing hormones.
- Know when to eat what to feel your best. Our simple whole foods framework helps mitigate symptoms & optimize hormones, health, body composition & fitness w/o unnecessary meds.
- Learn what's changing & address root causes via step-by-step Academy modules. From stress, cortisol & nervous system regulation to optimizing blood sugar, sleep, metabolism, gut & mental health - we keep it practical with one low stress *sustainable* lifestyle routine!
- Shape a fit feminine physique &/or run your strongest injury-free via methods proven to build badass hormones, health & resilience. Maximize results with customized plans & strength programs + our "everything we need" fitness library with core, pelvic floor, recovery, mobility, expert-level injury comeback, fat loss, lean out & body recomposition support.

This is not a quick fix: The first 6 months are $2,997 with flexible payment options (6 x $499/mo or 8 x $375/mo). After, nearly all clients renew all-inclusive access & support for only $97/mo, as our methods evolve with emerging female-specific science. So will you & your badass *sustainable* results! 💃
Don't Wait: At this time, my practice is almost full. Seats are limited to maintain detailed 1:1 support.
I'm Ready to Unlock My Best With Less Stress!Proud to be a Small Holistic Practice with a Big Heart, Badass Results & Industry-Leading Awards:
I didn't learn this in med school! Everything is so easy-to-follow. At an age where I'm supposed to be watching my body break down, I'm getting stronger, more fit & am more energized during long work days. I didn't think it was possible to PR my marathon in my 50s & not need Advil after, but I now know how to train & fuel WITH my female body! I recommend & refer out to Badass Academy for any active female who wants optimal health, longevity, fitness or to run strong for life!
Nancy, Physician
Get ready to log into the Academy & think, "Holy crap, she gets me!" You can expect to feel seen, be fully heard in 1:1 sessions & understand how to work with your female body in a life-changing new way. This program is ahead of science, as Louise has lived through what she teaches. Despite my husband deployed, 4 kids & a full-time job, I feel stronger, energized & fit despite the most stressful phase of my life yet!
Heather, Duke Trained Nurse Practitioner
In my late 30s I was feeling fat & slow, like I was doing all the right things & it shouldn't be this hard! I lost 17 pounds, learned how to listen to my body & lean out without tedious tracking. Louise is a very response coach, creates resources as you need them & has amazing mindset, nutrition, fat loss & recovery hacks that fit my busy life!
Jen, Former U.S. Olympian
When I joined, I thought it was a long shot, but I was ready to fight to feel like myself again. I didn't want perimenopause to mean I have to lay down & die! In 2 weeks I lost weight, went from 5 hours of terrible sleep to sleeping like a baby & no longer had mood swings. My libido is back, my muscle definition improves weekly & heavy periods eased without an ablation or medication! Everything is so kept practical that, for the first time ever, I'm confident this is sustainable.
Charlotte, Nurse & Mom to 4
I was really discouraged, feeling like running was taking everything from me rather than fulfilling me. I have immense gratitude for the practical coaching, videos & handouts that explain everything. I no longer have headaches, struggle with psoriasis or lethargy! I understand why I bloat, why I get headaches & know how to keep inflammation low. I feel stronger every day & I actually look forward to running again! It took only weeks in this program to get rid of chronic pain & issues in my hip vs. years of PT that left me frustrated. Months later, I ran a 5K at a pace I hadn't seen in YEARS! When I joined I wanted to find my strength again & figure out how to handle this changing body. This program helped me do that & so much more. I feel like a whole new woman - thank you, thank you!
Cara, Busy Mom & CEO
I went from terrible hot flashes, cravings, considering a hysterectomy & HRT to my strongest yet. I joined this program for myself, but when my husband & kids commented how fit I look & asked to learn the nutrition strategies I was, I realized how much female-specific nutrition & training changes EVERYTHING! Now, we're all getting healthier, more fit & stronger together. The Breaking Through Wellness ripple effect is priceless!
Cathy, Mental Health Counselor
Despite working in the medical field for years & feeling like I knew a lot about my health, eating well, fat loss & strength training, I'm blown away by my experience! I went off HRT in 2 months & threw away most supplements. Acne my Dermatologist couldn't help is gone. I love that I know WHY I can't sleep, how to target specific areas of my body with strength training & have fat loss plans that are simple & modifiable without feeling restricted. I'm SO grateful to no longer be slowing down, feeling aches when I run, juggling diets or perimenopause "solutions." As my understanding of my body deepens & is kept simple to fit my life, I'm proud to have ease in feeling, looking & running my best!
Stacey, Health Educator
Thank you for giving me my wife back. I couldn't stand watching her wake up at 4:30, do endless Peloton, diet, feel miserable with bloating & poor sleep. She's finally seeing results that reflect how hard she works to take care of herself & fueling her body to perform. I've lost weight & improved fitness with your tips, too! Game changers! To say this program paid for itself is an understatement. Even our kids are learning more of the right timing & types of food. It's made such a difference!
