Women's Fitness & Nutrition Coach Specializing in Perimenopause
Hey there! I'm Shelby—owner of Live Fierce Wellness, Women's Fitness Specialist, Functional Nutritionist, wife, mom, and a firm believer that women deserve to feel strong and confident in their bodies through every season of life.
I've spent more than 18 years in the health and fitness industry helping women move better, build strength, fuel their bodies, and create healthier lives.
But the way I coach women today is very different from where I started.

TODAY, MY PASSION IS HELPING WOMEN RECLAIM THEIR STRENGTH.
I specialize in working with women who feel like their bodies have changed and the things that used to work simply aren't working anymore.
Maybe you're gaining weight despite exercising.
Maybe you're exhausted, inflamed, or struggling to recover.
Maybe you've bounced between diets, workout programs, supplements, and advice on social media and you're completely overwhelmed by what you're "supposed" to be doing.
Or maybe you simply don't recognize the woman looking back at you anymore.
I want to help you change that.
Together, we'll build strength, improve the way you fuel your body, create sustainable lifestyle habits, and give you the tools to navigate the changes that come with perimenopause and beyond.
Because the goal isn't to spend the rest of your life following another program.
The goal is to understand your body well enough to know how to support it for the rest of your life.
“I want women to stop feeling like their bodies are failing them and start feeling strong in them again.”
Reclaim Your Strength
I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOUR BODY CHANGES.
For years, fitness and nutrition were things I understood. They were my career. I knew how to train, how to eat well, and how to take care of my body.
And then my own body changed.
My journey through endometriosis, multiple surgeries, hormonal changes, inflammation, and other health challenges forced me to experience something so many women tell me today:
“I'm doing everything right, so why isn't it working anymore?”
I've experienced the frustration of knowing what you're "supposed" to do while realizing your body isn't responding the way it once did.
And it completely changed the way I coach.
MY EXPERIENCE IS PROFESSIONAL + PERSONAL
I earned my degree in Health & Exercise Science with a minor in Health Promotion and have spent more than 18 years in the fitness industry, continuing my education in women's health, strength training, Pilates, yoga, TRX, and functional nutrition.
But some of my greatest education came from becoming the woman I now coach.
My own journey through endometriosis, a hysterectomy, multiple surgeries, chronic health challenges, hormonal changes, inflammation, and perimenopause completely changed the way I viewed women's health and fitness. I knew how to exercise. I knew how to eat well. And suddenly, the things that had always worked for me weren't enough.
I had to learn how to listen to my body, advocate for my health, adjust the way I trained and fueled, and look beyond workouts alone. Today, I don't just coach the workout. I look at the whole woman—her movement, nutrition, recovery, lifestyle, and the season of life she's in.
That experience is why I coach the whole woman—not just the workout.
I was a Student Athletic Trainer in a Division I training program, I’m an anatomy nerd and why I love movement.

IN 2019 at a Tony Robbin’s conference, i WALKED ON FIRE!
I am a coffee connoisseur, love Jesus, active clothes wearing mom, collects boots and felt hats, health/fitness freak, crafter, world traveler, and a homebody.
I enjoy time outdoors, whether it is getting a workout in, horseback riding, sitting soaking up some vitamin D or going on a walk with our dog or with the fam!
I love a good dance party to some 90s hip-hop!

Shelby is the best teacher I could have asked for! She is so knowledgeable about women's health and I have learned a ton about pelvic floor health.
