I am here to help women over 35 who won’t let midlife changes hold them back..
..feel strong, energised, great in their bodies and gain the clarity they need to create a next chapter they truly love.
I’m Misha – a Midlife Reset Coach, coffee lover, gardening enthusiast, healthy cook, outdoor adventurer, and mum of two lively boys. I’m passionate about making a difference as a coach, and I’m certified in Nutritional Coaching as well as Life and Design Coaching. I also work as a Change Manager for a corporate company, helping teams adapt to new challenges. I bring some of these skills into my coaching, guiding women in midlife through the process of change – whether it’s transforming their nutrition, mindset, lifestyle or life purpose to help them feel their best.
Realising Things Were Changing
I’ve struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was the “chubby one” – my mum even had to hide sweets from me. Eventually, sports became my outlet. By my teens, I’d lost the extra weight and felt like I’d cracked the code… but the truth was, my appetite stayed big, and the scale could creep up quickly.
Through my teens and early twenties, I managed it with strict diets and a lot of movement. Working as a waitress, walking everywhere, and hitting the gym meant staying slim wasn’t something I had to think about, it just happened.
But then came my first office job. Suddenly, I was sitting for hours, surrounded by the office biscuit tin, and wondering why my jeans were getting tighter. I was still exercising, still running, but the snacking and long hours at a desk caught up with me. I’d try “quick-fix” diets, lose a few pounds, then watch them creep back on. The cycle was exhausting.
Sound familiar?
Entering My 30s (and Becoming a Mum)
When I hit my 30s and became a mum, everything changed. On paper, I was “doing everything right” – eating the same, exercising the same but the weight just kept creeping on. My wardrobe felt like a cruel joke; a closet full of clothes, and nothing that fit. A slice of cake at a birthday party came with a side of guilt.
But it wasn’t just about the weight anymore. Between being a mum, a wife, running a household, building a career, and trying to please everyone – family, society, expectations – I started to lose myself. The excitement, drive, and spark I once had were slipping away. Every day felt like groundhog day: same routine, same cycle, same tired version of me.
I felt flat, unmotivated, and low on confidence. Even the things that used to light me up didn’t feel the same anymore. I’d catch myself wondering, “Is this it? Is this what my 30s and midlife are supposed to feel like?”
The Wake-Up Call
I kept trying harder: starting each week with gym sessions and eating fewer calories, only to find myself ravenous by the weekend and “rewarding” my efforts which undid everything. I’d push myself harder at the gym, cut calories more strictly, yet nothing really changed. My energy stayed low. My motivation stayed lower. I was stuck, treating the symptoms instead of the cause.
That’s when it hit me: midlife isn’t about trying harder – it’s about doing things differently. Our bodies change – hormones, metabolism, stress, all of it. But so do our minds, our priorities, our sense of self.
The Power of Learning and Mindset Shift
I started looking beyond the usual “eat less, move more” advice. In midlife, our bodies change – hormones, metabolism, even how we process food. What worked in our twenties simply doesn’t work the same way now. I realized we need new strategies, especially around nutrition – to truly support our energy, mood, and health at this stage of life.
The things that once motivated me no longer did. The goals I used to chase no longer excited me. And I realized I wasn’t alone, so many women I spoke to felt the same: flat, unmotivated, and uncomfortable in their own bodies.
So, I stepped back and did the deeper work: shifting my mindset, reassessing my lifestyle, and creating habits that worked with my life, not against it. I dove into research, studied how nutrition changes in midlife, and became certified as a Nutrition and Life Purpose Coach – combining everything I’d learned from my own journey and studies into a framework that helps women transform from the inside out.
Through this process, I found a way to stop feeling flat and start feeling motivated and excited again, not just about losing weight, but about my life. By combining strategies that worked for my body with the inner work of mindset, vision, and identity, I reignited my spark. And when I finally shifted how I saw myself, the weight came off and stayed off.
Reclaiming who I was and stepping into the version of myself I wanted to be changed everything and now I’m not just maintaining my results, I’m building a future I’m genuinely excited about.”
Why I Do What I Do
This journey became the foundation of my mission. Through my own transformation, I’ve developed a unique framework that combines The Inner Compass (identity, vision-building, and mindset work), lifestyle alignment, and midlife-focused nutrition to help women not just lose weight, but feel vibrant, confident, and inspired about their lives again.
I know lasting change doesn’t come from willpower or quick fixes. It comes from understanding your body, reshaping your mindset, and creating habits that support the woman you’re becoming – not the one you’ve outgrown.
Now, I’m passionate about guiding women through this same process – helping them break the cycle of “what used to work,” rediscover their spark, and create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
Midlife Doesn’t Have to Mean Decline
What I learned is that midlife doesn’t have to be about slowing down or resigning to feeling sluggish or stuck. It’s the perfect time to make meaningful changes, rediscover your purpose, and embrace a new phase with energy and confidence. It’s about living with intention, and knowing why you’re making those changes.
My Coaching Philosophy:
The Three Pillars of Lasting Health
My coaching philosophy is built on three essential pillars: mindset, nutrition, and lifestyle habits. Why? Because real, sustainable change doesn’t come from one-off diets or surface-level advice. It comes from creating a balanced foundation that adapts to real life, not the other way around.
For those looking for deeper clarity, I also offer support in exploring life purpose, helping you create a more fulfilling and purposeful midlife.
The Inner Compass: The Starting Point for Everything
Without the right inner compass, you can have all the nutrition facts, meal plans, and advice in the world – but lasting change? That’s a different story. Old habits, mental barriers, and negative self-talk can quietly sabotage even the best intentions.
This pillar is about helping you reconnect with your future self, build a clear vision, and develop the mindset that makes real change possible. When you align your inner compass, motivation stops feeling like a struggle and starts becoming natural. Think of it as the foundation of everything – without it, change is hard to start and even harder to sustain.
Empowered Nutrition: Fuel Your Body, Love What You Eat
Let’s face it – what worked in your 20s doesn’t cut it anymore. Now, it’s about eating for energy, balancing hormones, and managing weight in a way that actually works with your body (no crash diets or guilt trips over cake).
I’m a big fan of fasting, which is a powerful tool for managing cravings and giving the body a chance to reset. It’s not about going hungry, but about making the most of the time we spend eating to nourish and energize. Along with easy meal prep, simple meal plans, and a focus on real, whole foods, the goal is to help women in midlife create a healthier relationship with food, feel energized, and love their bodies again.
Aligned Lifestyle: Building Real Change That Lasts
Finally, there’s the art of building habits that actually last. Without the right strategies, new habits can be tough to make stick, no matter how strong the motivation is at the beginning. But it’s not just about adding new habits – it’s also about reviewing the ones that might be holding you back. Sometimes, the routines that once worked for us no longer serve us in midlife, and small adjustments can make all the difference. This pillar is all about integrating small, meaningful changes that add up over time and become second nature. By identifying what’s working, what’s not, and making intentional shifts, you can create a lifestyle that supports not sabotages your success.
A Little More About Me
I live in beautiful Leamington Spa, Warwickshire – a lively, foodie town with plenty of cafes, great restaurants, and the charm of nearby Warwick Castle. Home life is busy but full with my husband and two football-mad boys, who keep me both grounded and on my toes!
Outside of work, I love to be outdoors, whether it’s gardening, foraging, or going for long walks. Cooking healthy meals is a passion, and I’m always experimenting with new recipes (often sneaking in veggies where the kids least expect it!). And I’m a lifelong learner, always keen to dive into topics like self-development, natural wellness, nutrition, and the mind-body connection.
For me, self-care is key – whether it’s yoga, reading a good book, or the occasional bit of spa time to unwind.
Thanks for taking the time to get to know me a little better. I’m thrilled you’re here, and I look forward to helping you live your best life.
