Helping women in midlife reclaim their energy, reduce stress, and feel like themselves again — naturally.

Hi, I’m Janine Gilarde.
I’m a Registered Nurse and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach supporting women through the physical and emotional transitions of midlife.

My mission is simple: to help you reconnect with your body, understand its signals, and feel empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

The truth about your symptoms

Midlife isn’t a decline — it’s a powerful transition.

But it can also feel confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming.

For many women, this season brings unexpected changes in energy, sleep, mood, stress, weight, and confidence in their own bodies.

What once worked may no longer feel effective — and that can leave you wondering what’s wrong, or where to turn next.

These shifts aren’t random or “just aging.” They’re signs that your body needs support in a new way.

During midlife, changes in hormones, metabolism, digestion, sleep, and stress create a ripple effect that impacts energy, mood, weight, and overall well-being.

When you’re caring for everyone else, pushing through exhaustion, or trying to “fix” things with diets or willpower, it’s easy to miss the deeper root causes.

But once you pause, listen, and understand what your body is trying to tell you — true healing and clarity begin.

Drawing on my background as both a nurse and a holistic coach, I help women understand what their bodies are communicating so they can rebuild energy, balance hormones naturally, and feel like themselves again.

Bridging the gap:
My journey from RN to holistic health coach

My time as a Registered Nurse gave me a front-row seat to the limitations of our healthcare system.

While conventional medicine is essential for acute care, I saw a persistent gap:

  • Women in midlife weren’t receiving root-cause support.
  • The focus was on managing symptoms, rather than understanding the “why” behind fatigue, weight changes, inflammation, and overwhelm.

Becoming a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach gave me the tools to move beyond the surface and guide women through real, sustainable transformation.

My coaching programs offer:

  • Personalized guidance — strategies that work for your body
  • Sustainable behavior change — habits that last
  • True partnership — compassionate support every step of the way

Today, I integrate my clinical foundation with lifestyle medicine, nutrition, and mind-body practices to support whole-person healing.

Real People, Real Success

I worked with Janine for three months after struggling for a long time to regain my previous fitness level after a debilitating injury. She is a master of helping to set reasonable, attainable, progressive goals that were the key to improving my overall fitness level. Working together we were able to figure out what works for me and what doesn’t. By gradually replacing old unhealthy habits with new healthier habits I am on a solid path to regaining my pre-injury fitness. The key to success for me was Janine’s personalized approach, compassion & depth of knowledge of current health and wellness best practices. For example, Janine was able to coach me with regard to the best way to increase the number of steps per day and what the science says is the a good step count goal to increase overall health and fitness. This is just one example of many I could give. We also worked together on menu planning, creating a sleep schedule, incorporating mindfulness into my day, and stress management. I highly recommend Janine for anyone looking to work with a coach on any fitness/health issues.

The best thing about working with you is that I stayed focused. I became more mindful of my eating patterns and the emotions that are associated with eating. You taught me a breathing exercise that I use to relax and get focused in the moment. Now I am on my way to eating healthier, being more relaxed and mindful and being a good role model for my family and my clients.
