About Heather — The StrongHER Life Story

The Breaking Point

I used to do everything “right.”
Train harder. Eat less. Hustle more.

From the outside, I looked like I had it together — lean, disciplined, “fit.”
But the truth? I was falling apart.
I chased control through addiction, restriction, and overtraining.
Competing became my identity, and punishment became my coping mechanism.

Then life humbled me — hard.
Motherhood entered the chat.

After my first pregnancy, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s.
After my second, psoriasis showed up.
My body was inflamed, my hormones were wrecked, and my nervous system was screaming for help.
But I kept pushing — caffeine for breakfast, cardio for stress, and perfection as my purpose.

That wasn’t strength.
That was survival mode disguised as willpower.

​

The Wake-Up Call

Turning 40 hit differently.
My body stopped responding to all the things that used to work.
I was exhausted, inflamed, and frustrated that no one was talking about how different midlife really is.

I realized I didn’t need another plan to fix me —
I needed to heal me.
To rebuild from the inside out — physically, hormonally, and emotionally.

So I did what I do best:
I started learning.
Digging.
Rebuilding.
And I finally started listening — not to the industry, but to my body.

​

The Rebuild

I traded punishment for presence.
Restriction for real food.
Cardio punishment for heavy lifting and strength that built me, not broke me.
I learned how to fuel for my hormones, not fight them.
And most importantly — I learned that nervous system regulation wasn’t optional.
It was everything.

Slowly, the inflammation dropped. My energy came back. My confidence returned — not because I got smaller, but because I got stronger.

I stopped living in fight or flight, and started living in flow.

The StrongHER Life Method™

That’s when the StrongHER Life Method™ was born.
Not from theory — from lived experience.

It’s built on four pillars:
💪 Fuel — Real food that supports hormones, metabolism, and mood.
🏋️ Lift — Muscle-centric training that builds resilience and longevity.
🧘‍♀️ Regulate — Nervous system + recovery tools to keep cortisol and cravings in check.
⚡ Repeat — No extremes. No “starting over Monday.” Just sustainable strength for life.

This is what I teach my clients:
How to rebuild their metabolism, their muscle, and their confidence — without burnout or restriction.

​

Why I Do This

Because I’ve been the woman chasing perfection.
The mom running on fumes.
The competitor who looked strong but felt broken.

And I’ve also been the woman who rebuilt —
who found her peace, her power, and her purpose again.

Now I help women 40+ do the same:

• Drop the fluff (in workouts and waistlines)

• Heal their hormones

• Build muscle

• And create strength that lasts.

If that’s you — you’re in the right place.
Because you weren’t meant to shrink.
You were meant to RISE. 🧡
