Sandy FernandesMETABOLIC HEALTH COACH

HELLO, I'M SANDY

Why midlife health matters to me.

My path into midlife coaching started with my own experience of perimenopause.

When my body began to change, I didn't feel I was getting the support I needed from my healthcare provider. I started asking more questions and paying closer attention to the choices I could make: what I ate, how I moved, and the habits that shaped my days. That search eventually led me to Metabolic Balance and the work I do now.

That experience is why I'm especially drawn to working with women in midlife. It's easy to reach this point and think, “I guess this is just what getting older feels like.” I don't believe we should have to dismiss feeling unwell without asking why. There can be many reasons for a change in how you feel. Food, movement, and daily routines are part of the conversation, and so is getting the right healthcare support when you need it.

As a Metabolic Balance® Certified Coach, I help people pay closer attention to the foods and habits that support them and find steps they can put into practice. Nearly 20 years as a massage therapist taught me to slow down and listen. You're the one living with these changes every day, and I want to hear what you've noticed, what you've tried, and what matters to you. That's where our work together begins.

OUTSIDE OF WORK

I feel best when I'm moving, whether that's lifting weights, doing yoga, or walking in nature. I love animals, especially cats. If there's one nearby, I'll probably stop to say hello.
