"I love Carolyn’s holistic teaching style. She includes variations for all abilities and is supportive of all fitness levels. Taking Carolyn’s classes over the last few years has doubled my strength and energy levels. I strongly encourage taking any of her - in person or virtual - classes!"
-Jill Worthington, Yoga / Fitness Participant
"Carolyn's passion for aiding women as they make the journey to self-love is unparalleled! She uses her own experiences, training and intuition to take groups from 0 to 60 mph in less than 120 minutes. Definitely recommend one of her sessions (especially Body Love) or working with her as a Coach!"
-Jill E-W, Class participant and Program Participant
"I’ve often gone to classes and worked with people who promote they help beginners only to find I still leave feeling both overwhelmed and intimidated. Carolyn’s classes truly promote she helps people do what is best for them and ensures this message is repeated constantly. I highly, highly recommend her. You will feel wrapped in her kindness. Her support is endless."
-Sally B. Yoga Client
"Carolyn genuinely cares about her Clients and her passion for empowering women to live life to the fullest, makes the effort worthwhile. I highly recommend her as a Trainer (as well as a Coach and Speaker) for anyone looking to get back into shape/ create a healthy lifestyle - and have a GREAT time while doing it!"
-Jenn L., Fitness Participant/ hired Coach C for Speaking
"I invited Coach Carolyn to keynote a professional development session for my Development team, and she was outstanding. Her presentation, “Talking to Donors in Their Language,” gave us practical, eye-opening tools for understanding different personalities and communicating in ways that truly resonate. Carolyn’s ability to make complex concepts simple, engaging, and immediately useful made a lasting impact. We still reference her frameworks today, and our donor relationships are stronger because of them. I highly recommend Coach Carolyn to any team looking to deepen their communication skills and better understand the people they serve."

But hormones are playing up so I am bloated and going to re measure after! I stopped tracking a while ago as it frustrated me when I could do it and made me upset but I kept the goals on a sticky not at work for motivation and reminders. Thanks again for putting this on!"

Dealing with Stress? Could your sleep be improved? Wishing to lose weight? GET those habits you know will help. Be it fitness-focussed, yoga-focussed or coaching for everyday living and succeeding; I can help. I’m supportive, will keep you on track and WILL get you the results you want - and help you know how to KEEP them.
Click the button and let’s talk about how I can help you WIN at these and let your sparkle SHINE!
About YOU….
What do I do? I help women take a look at themselves; body, mind and soul. See what resonates with them most; what they need most to help them feel that exciting feeling from within.
We are finally of an age where the lead up to, right through to the life after menopause is being taken seriously. I began helping women about 7 years ago with this time of life.
No longer is it to be disregarded and left as “it is what it is”. No! I help women take the bulls by the horns and say “bring it!”; let’s face it head on (or BRAIN ON) and do what is needed to help them through. Ultimately leading a life full of LIVING, LOVING, LAUGHING, BEING.
From Brain (which IS women’s health) - to your body, I have you covered. Stay with me, look around my site; take my classes and join my memberships and together we will SPARKLE!!
It's time to change the conversations (or lack thereof over the years) about women’s health, the “menopause journey” I like to call Menohood (and we are always on it) and the power, wisdom and resilience that comes with
BEING WOMAN.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to be over 40 to join this Sparkling Community?
Heck no! We have all been younger. What I hear SO much from women 40 and over is “I wish I’d known”…so if you are 20-40 THIS is your opportunity to begin now: strengthening your body AND brain…so you ROCK it 40 and above!
I’m tickled that you’re here!
For Yoga, Zumba and Fitness classes, do I need to be experienced?
HECK NO!
I’m a believer that we all (including myself) begin somewhere and as a beginner.
For this reason and others, I’ve always catered to beginner and intermediate; building the correct foundation in anything we do is crucial and I want to help ensure that as you move through your fitness - and menopausal journey you do it safely - and with strength sparkle and sass!
I ALWAYS offer options and if you need particular information please don’t hesitate to ask me. PERSONABLE and approachable are what I am :)
Do you have options for memberships?
