ACE-Certified: Whole Health Coach and Personal Fitness Trainer

For 10 years I've been passionate about partnering with women in mid-life to offer positive accountability, encouragement, and guidance to help them get unstuck and get results, no matter where they might be in their wellness improvement journey. I meet you where you are without judgement—only compassion and a results oriented lens.

Together, we focus on mindset and habit shifts with small, daily changes. 
I've empowered more than 200 women to achieve dramatic and lasting health and habit changes (check out the Success Stories page for details) and an incredible 25 have shed MORE THAN 50 POUNDS and successfully kept those pounds off without gimmicks, extremes, surgeries or injections.

I help you push back against all things diet and diet culture-related with an intuitive and mindful eating approach to food. You'll make peace with food and feel confident again in your body. Together, we focus on ways to bring your life into greater  balance such as: 

* managing chronic stress 
* improved nutrition and taming emotional eating
* moving more and improved sleep patterns 
* supportive hydration habits

Change is rarely easy, but with the Coach Gayle by your side, it isn’t HARD. 

FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE
I connect with you virtually from my home office in Manchester, Missouri or from my Clayton women's co-working space. Time zones and distance never interfere with having private conversations about slaying your obstacles or a with a fitness training session from the convenience of your home living space.

PERSONAL MANTRAS 

Progress not perfection

We move mountains one boulder at a time

All things in moderation except love and laughter

Forget about aging with grace; do it with a vengeance
