CERTIFIED MENOPAUSE COACHING SPECIALIST | PRIVATE 1:1 COACHING
Feel stronger, more energetic, and more capable in your body through midlife.
Imagine having the strength and energy to get through a demanding day, train without feeling wiped out afterward, recover with more confidence, and feel that your body is supporting the life you want to live.
The Empowered Menopause Method is personalized menopause coaching that helps you work toward those changes by looking at the bigger picture: your training, nutrition, sleep, recovery, stress, symptoms, habits and real life.
Whether you have been exercising for years, are trying to restart, or are unsure where to begin, we identify what matters for you and build from there.

When your body starts responding differently, everyday life can start feeling different too.
Maybe you can still get through the workday, but there is very little energy left when it is over.
Maybe you are exercising, but workouts that once made you feel good now leave you sore or drained for much longer than you expect.
Maybe your clothes fit differently, your strength does not feel the same, or you no longer feel as physically confident as you used to.
Maybe disrupted sleep or brain fog means you are getting through important days with less energy and mental sharpness than you want.
Or perhaps you have spent so long taking care of work, family and everyone else that you are ready to feel physically capable and well supported in your own life again.
Several things may be changing at once. The difficult part is knowing what actually needs attention and which changes are most useful for how you want to feel and function.
What could feeling better through midlife actually look like?
It may look like finishing a demanding day with enough energy left for your own life.
It may mean getting stronger again, not only lifting heavier weights, but feeling capable of carrying, climbing, travelling, moving and doing the things you enjoy.
It may mean completing a workout and feeling appropriately challenged instead of wondering whether you will pay for it with two days of exhaustion or soreness.
It may mean eating in a way that supports your strength, energy and goals without constantly questioning whether you are doing it “right.”
It may mean waking after a difficult night and knowing how to adjust your day rather than feeling that the entire week is ruined.
And it may simply mean feeling more like yourself in your body again - strong, energetic, capable and confident.
That is the bigger goal of EMM.
A stronger, more capable body. More usable energy. Better-supported recovery. Greater confidence. And a way of taking care of yourself that still works when real life happens.
Along the way, you also learn what matters for your body, what to do, and how to adjust, so the progress you build does not depend on having me beside you forever.

How Private Coaching Is Different
When you need more than a workout plan.
Private coaching is not about giving you more menopause information. It is about helping you determine what applies to you.
Inside EMM, we look at the full picture: what you are experiencing, your goals, training, nutrition habits, sleep, recovery, stress, schedule and current capacity, then decide what deserves attention first.
From there, we build the right actions, review how you respond, and adjust as your body, progress and real life change.
UNDERSTAND → PRIORITIZE → BUILD → ADJUST → OWN
CERTIFIED MENOPAUSE COACHING SPECIALIST
A menopause specialist who coaches with both evidence and real-life context.
I’m Réka Trottier, a Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist. My menopause-specific education gives me advanced training in the physiological, behavioral, emotional and lifestyle considerations of perimenopause and menopause, including exercise, nutrition habits, recovery, sleep and stress, within a coaching scope of practice.
I also bring almost 30 years around fitness, professional training in fitness and nutrition, and a background in analysis and continuous improvement.
That analytical background shapes the way I coach. I look for patterns: what is working, what has changed, what is getting in the way, and what may need adjusting.
I’m navigating this stage of life too, so I understand what it feels like when a body that used to feel predictable starts giving you different feedback.
My goal is not to make you fit a rigid plan. It is to help you build something that can evolve with you.
