Hi, I’m Thérèse
Menopause Wellness Coach & Founder of Vitality in Focus
I help women in midlife reclaim their energy, confidence, and sense of self — so they can move through menopause feeling strong, vibrant, and fully alive.
My Story
When I first entered menopause more than a decade ago, I was caught off guard. Brain fog clouded my focus. Fatigue hit hard. My joints ached, my sleep was restless, and my motivation slipped away. I felt disconnected from my body — and from the woman I used to be.
Doctors offered quick fixes, but few answers. It was a lonely, confusing time.
So I decided to take matters into my own hands. I found a doctor who listened and believed me. Together we worked on things that diet and exercise alone couldn’t fix. Then, I began learning everything I could about women’s health, hormones, nutrition, movement, and mindset. Slowly, through small, consistent changes, I began to feel like me again — clear-headed, energized, and strong.
That experience lit a spark in me: a desire to help other women navigate this same transition with understanding, compassion, and confidence. Already a health and wellness coach, I turned my practice to work with middle age women with a focus on vitality. Hence; Vitality in Focus.
My Coaching Philosophy
I believe midlife is not an ending — it’s a powerful new beginning.
Menopause is a natural transition, not something to “fix” or fight against. My work focuses on helping women understand their changing bodies and establish habits that nurture long-term health and vitality.
Together, we focus on what truly supports your wellbeing:
Sleep that restores your body and mind
Nutrition that fuels energy and balance
Movement that feels joyful and builds strength
Mindset that encourages self-compassion and resilience
Through personalized coaching, we create realistic, sustainable routines — so you can feel empowered, not overwhelmed.
I’m a certified Health and Wellness Coach, with ongoing training in women’s midlife health, and behavior change psychology.
My approach blends evidence-based coaching with real-life practicality and deep empathy — because I’ve been where you are.
My Qualifications
Outside of Coaching
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me outdoors — hiking and taking pictures. This is when I feel most alive. The pictures on my website are ones I have taken while on outdoor adventures.
I live in Central Oregon surrounded by the beautiful Cascade Mountains. I raised two boys with my husband of 35 years, and our first grandchild is a year old.
I love cooking fresh, colorful meals and spending time with my family. Simple, joyful moments are what keep me grounded.
If you’re ready to take charge of your health and rediscover your vitality, I’d love to support you.
