Chapter 3 Is Your Life Starting Today

Health Coaching for women over 40.

Flourish in the next chapter of life. Thrive through your menopause-aged years and beyond. Be the author of your own longevity story.

I launched Chapter 3 Wellness to help women (like myself) who are over 40 and feel like our bodies have flipped the script on us, serving up new realities—such as weight gain or trouble losing weight, poor sleep, fatigue, aches and pains, shifting body shape, loss of strength, a racing mind out of nowhere, discomfort from hot flashes—that don’t respond to old tactics. Does any of this sound familiar?

Whether you are peri/post-menopause-aged or older, crazy busy between job, family, and parents, or facing life transitions such as empty nesting or retirement, now is the time to face the fact that your changing body requires changing lifestyle habits in order to feel strong, healthy, and energized. Now is the time to take back control of the narrative.  Let me be your guide to feeling and looking great—now AND as you age.

I look forward to meeting you!

Testimonials

  • I really enjoyed working with Joan and the Chapter Three Book Club!  She was a terrific guide as we explored the Built To Move program, leading helpful discussions about how to incorporate new practices into our busy lives!  She is knowledgeable, empathetic and the course was a great challenge in all the right ways!New List Item

  • Before working with Joan, I was struggling with inconsistent sleep and waking up feeling more tired than when I went to bed. From our very first session, she listened closely, asked thoughtful questions, and helped me identify simple but powerful changes to my routine. With her guidance, I now have a calming nighttime ritual, better boundaries around screen time, and a greater understanding of how my daily habits impact my sleep. I’m finally waking up feeling refreshed and energized—something I hadn’t experienced in years. I’m so grateful for the support and accountability Joan provided. Her knowledge, compassion, and personalized approach truly made all the difference.

    Tina F., Pittsburgh, PA

  • I had a wonderful experience working with Joan as my health coach. She is kind, charming, relatable, and professional. I was trying to provide healthier food for my family, but I was overwhelmed by all the changes I was trying to make, and my lack of knowledge. Joan helped me to break down the process into small manageable steps. I made a lot of progress in a short amount of time, compared to the little progress I had made before trying to do too much at once. Joan is wonderful, and I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

    Jenny S., Augusta, GA

  • Joan led a small group in coaching around Kelly and Juliet Starrett’s Built to Move, and her supportive style—encouraging real discussion—guided us through the book’s vital signs and mobilizations. Even though many of us have trained for years, her perspective reframed the movements, breaking them into smaller, doable pieces and stacking them onto daily routines so they were more likely to stick. The book’s simple tests, clear targets, and tiny practices paired well with Joan’s “baseline then retest” cadence, which kept us consistent without pressure. I noticed less stiffness and better body awareness, and I’ve continued to weave some of the mobilizations into my daily routine.

    Celia M., Pittsburgh, PA

  • While I enjoy reading, I have never been an avid reader. Instead, I enjoy playing sports and being active as I am not one to sit still for too long. Being a part of this bookclub was a good challenge for me and allowed me to enjoy reading while being able to literally be an active participant. Not only did I make some new friends along the way, but I was motivated to get outside of my comfort zone. I look forward to the next bookclub and know it will be equally rewarding.

    Colleen A., Pittsburgh, PA

  • I had the pleasure of receiving coaching from Joan. She helped me to find what I wanted and needed to work on within myself and was extremely kind, professional, empathetic, and timely. In this day-to-day life of busy schedules it was something I looked forward to and I would gladly recommend her.

    Nicole K., Pittsburgh, PA

  • I went I to the Chapter 3 book club not knowing what to expect or what I would get from it. I left with insights into my fitness strengths and opportunities, actionable advice on what I could change immediately and a group of people who had no-judgment ideas and perspectives on fitness and movement I didn’t expect to discover. I use so many of these practices and are so aware of my movement habits now. This was a great way to kick start new habits for me.New List Item
