The 89 Day Lifestyle Recalibration Project
– for women over 45
– who are ready to get REAL and live a bigger, brighter, bolder & more fulfilling life.
Are you ready to recalibrate your lifestyle
– leave life’s sideline, nurture your body and mind and pursue your dreams – giving yourself permission to be the woman you are committed to becoming?
Are you sick and tired of your weight creeping up & up, losing sleep and having no energy?
Are you SUPER busy, time poor and overwhelmed by stress and life challenges?
Are you overwhelmed by the changes your body has experienced since turning 45?
Do you struggle to stay motivated, overwhelmed by all of the fads and latest crazes
Have you forgotten who YOU are – beyond Mum, wife, partner or colleague.
Are you sick and tired of being last on your list?
I know you already feel like you’ve tried every diet & fitness craze there is, and that after each one, you’re left feeling like a failure.
You’re exhausted, discouraged and lost all motivation. You can’t remember the last time you slept well, had energy or felt confident looking in the mirror
Everywhere you turn there’s another ‘quick fix’ offered by a 20-something that has no idea what it’s like to be 45+ and dealing with the ‘struggle of the juggle’ of kids, household, family & work pressures.
BUT..
.. what if I told you that you’re not going crazy – that there is a way, a simple sustainable way, to take back control of your health FOREVER & that you will never have to diet (or do a burpee) EVER again!
What if I told you that you can learn how to recalibrate your health & lifestyle with transformational, sustainable habits & strategies for yourself!
Sound good?
Fantastic!
Let’s get REAL about what’s possible for YOU!
Let’s let go of what other people say that your life should look like at this stage of your life.
You are NOT defined by a number. Not on the scale or your number of years on this earth.
It’s time for you to get real about what’s important to you, physically, emotionally, mentally, and the adventures that you want to have.
I want you to be in that physical and mental state that allows you to pursue the things that you want to do.
I want to help you make your life bigger and richer and deeper and exciting and fulfilling.
And to do that you have to be taking really good care of you.
And that’s why in the real girls recalibration project, we cover in detail, eating well, moving well and living well.
This is no quick fix, (we all know they aren’t the answer)
You know that your commitment to a strong, healthy and enjoyable life doesn’t get created in a few short weeks. This is the end of ‘you’ve heard it all before’.
This is a lifestyle commitment. It’s not a diet. It’s not a fitness craze. It’s not fluffy affirmations willing that your life is going to change.
This is true recalibration at your core.
If you are reading this and you’re feeling those little edges of excitement, we’re going to fan that spark into a flame.
As a busy (40 something 🙂 ) mum, business owner & wife, I understand how difficult it can be to make your own health and well being a priority. I understand that sometimes our own needs can become lost in the busy-ness of work, family and random life events.
I understand the many obstacles and challenges we face each day, but I truly believe that investing in your own health and well-being is the most important investment you can make.
I GET it! I REALLY do!
9 years ago I was a few months into a new ‘health kick’ after several years of putting everything else first before me. Work, family, ‘stuff’.
I had finally come to the realisation that there are no short cuts – there is no magic pill – I needed to do the work & prioritise ME!
It wasn’t easy – but it was getting easier.
It took time for me to finally realise that while exercise is a crucial part of the puzzle – I needed to change my mindset and my eating habits as well.
I learned to eat to nourish and support my soul – not to deprive myself.
I learned to exercise to reward and honour my body – not to punish it.
I learned to say no to the things that no longer served me.
But the biggest lesson of all was that I learned to strive for progress not perfection – imperfect action trumps perfect inaction every.single.time.
50When I made that mindset shift – that’s when everything changed.
Again it wasn’t easy, but it got easier. I got results, and I have never looked back.
Healthy feels incredible. Eating well, moving well, living well.
I can honestly say that I am fitter, stronger and healthier now in my 40s than I was in my 20s & 30s.
A healthy life is not about 6 packs and bikinis. It’s about self-acceptance, self-confidence & self-care.
When I realised that it was that shift in mindset that made all the difference, that’s when I decided that I REALLY wanted to help women like me (and you) make that shift too.
Frustrated by the smoke and mirrors and glossy facade of the weight loss & fitness industries I have studied far and beyond my fitness certifications. I am a women’s health & fitness coach – specialising in all chapters of life – from pre-natal care through to menopause.
I am committed to helping you realise that you have 30.. 40..50.. years in front of you…. to ensure that your life becomes bigger, brighter, bolder and more fulfilling… to give you the courage to get real about what’s most important to you and help bring it to life.

Never having to diet or deprive yourself again
Being able to wear clothes you love with confidence
Feeling fabulous, confident, and in control of yourself and your life.
Celebrating the small wins as much as the big ones (they pave the way to your future)
When you’ve made the decision and committed to turn things around and start a new health and fitness program, it can be difficult to know what to do next. And staying motivated is hard — especially if you try to do it all on your own.
That’s where I come in.
If you’re ready to get in control of your health and fitness once and for all, I’m ready to help.
Here’s what some of my Real Girls have to say:
“I have tried so many diet plans but my mindset has never changed like it has now. I like that the nutrition coaching is actually teaching me – I’m not just following a pre-set template.
This program has taught me I can do a lot more about my nutrition than I ever thought and that exercise can be fun and enjoyable.”
~ Amy
“Jo was present through my whole Journey, encouraging, motivating and educating me the entire time. I’ve learned so much from her and have definitely caught the bug. Grateful is an understatement for how I feel. Jo is a woman successfully empowering other women to do their absolute best.”
~ Tara
“The photo on the left was taken just after I had completed Jo’s “Ditch the junk” challenge in January 2018. I had lost a couple of kilos & feeling pretty happy with myself….
When I looked at this photo I was devastated, because the message it gave to me was that even though I thought I had made a good start, there was absolutely no visible evidence of it at all.
My usual reaction to feeling like this would be to say.. bugger it, I will give up because it’s not working.
But this time was different.
The photo on the left motivated me to keep going with the changes I had been making to my lifestyle. It motivated me to continue to remove the junk from my diet & instead nourish myself with wholesome real food & it motivated me to continue exercising (which I was enjoying more & more with each session).
This week (Jan 2019) I found my skirt from this time last year in the uniform cupboard & thought it would be fun to try it on. One of my colleagues took a photo & it wasn’t until a couple of days later when she was showing someone else, that I looked at it. And, I was amazed!
It was like I was seeing me for the first time. I found it hard to believe that I was literally squished into that skirt just one year ago.
I thought about all the other things I had done over the past year, events that in the past would have been enough to ‘fall off’ & stay off the ‘band wagon’, holidays, weddings, birthdays, falling off my bike, none of those things stopped or reversed what I was doing.
Eating a well balanced diet, that includes treats & enjoying lots of different exercises, those 2 things alone is what achieved the changes in my body in a 1 year period. The number of kilos or sizes are irrelevant.
I am so pleased that I started & I am even more pleased that I kept going.
I encourage anyone who is sick & tired of being uncomfortable, lethargic, miserable, self conscious, embarrassed or any other feeling associated to your body size, just give it a go, who knows, this could be you in one single year!
UPDATE: 2020 I actually had a reminder pop up on Facebook from 8 years ago – , something to do with weight loss & my thought was oh gosh what a merry go round of weight loss / gain my life has been.
Then your video came up & reminded me of all the valuable lessons you have taught me over the last few years.
Thankyou for teaching me about healthy lifestyle vs binge dieting. ❤”

“I was overwhelmed on how to improve my overall health….that is when I found Jo from Real Girls.
We looked at my goals so I could improve my health with long term sustainability in mind. We started with small goals for my nutrition like eating 1/2 plate of vegetables at each meal. Mindfully choosing what I was going to eat and how much.
My first goal with exercise was just starting to exercise again, with 2 group sessions a week to start. I then slowly increased what I did as I was able.
We focused on changing my old mind set – like no longer letting the number on the scale define younow its more how I feel and the way my clothes fit. My mindset towards exercise was about adjusting to what I can do now not comparing myself to what I once did when I was a much younger version of myself….oh… it’s ok to be kind yourself and do what you can today!
I am happier and healthier today and I get to choose mindfully what I eat, how much I exercise I do and how much sleep I get.
No one can do it for you…so go on invest in yourself and take the plunge so that you can be the best version of yourself.“
~ Kim
“It is so great to have the support of Jo, who is so amazing and always encouraging.
With Jo’s help I got myself sorted with some healthy meal options and committed to doing a couple of extra activities on top of the Real Girls classes I was attending.
After the first week I was already feeling so much better, I had more energy, which helped with the classes and just felt so much better within myself.
Life throws so many challenges but this program has helped me to realise that I need to take time for me & my health.
Thanks Jo. I would not have been able to do this without your support.”
~ Keena M
“Before I started the program I was worried I would not be able to be consistent. I really like how informative the resources are and the check-ins with Joanne.
It’s a great program that is very consistent and detailed without being overwhelming.”
~ Katelyn G
“I have lost two clothing sizes, I sometimes look in the mirror and am surprised at how much smaller and stronger my body is! I love how the program has fitted into my busy life seamlessly.
I have managed to stick to a new habit every two weeks, which has been achievable and also noticeable. I have found that exercising a little most days is actually really enjoyable, and when I don’t do some form of exercise I tend to get quite irritable – who would have thought I would say that nine months ago!
It is a program that easily fits around my family, there are no strict menus to follow. Just good advice on what are good options and how much protein, fat, and carbs are ideal to consume. There is no counting or weighing, so it is really easy to follow.
This is the easiest and most rewarding way of not only losing weight but gaining better health. I am now comfortable in my clothes again, when I started I didn’t think that would be possible.”
~ Sharon
“I’ve learned so much about myself through this program.
Learning about habit development can also be applied to other areas in life, too. I thought I knew how to eat healthy (or healthy enough), but I’d never assume I know enough in my work – why do I not give my life (me) the same attention and consideration? It has helped me value and prioritise my time. (Recommending to a friend, I’d have to be careful I’m not too evangelistic!).”
~ Tanya

Follow the link below to book an OBLIGATION FREE Lifestyle Planning Session so that we can determine whether working together is the right fit.
During this FREE 45 minute conversation I can answer any questions you have regarding the program and how to get started.
Is personal coaching right for you?
tPersonal coaching is for you if:
You want to get healthier, fitter, and thrive despite life’s demands — and stay that way for the rest of your life.
This program is for people who want to lose weight, build fitness and confidence, reduce stress and overwhelm, get results that last, and get off the diet roller-coaster once and for all. I won’t give you a crazy diet or exercise program to follow; instead, I’ll help you build habits that will get you results that last forever.
You’re tired of “quick fix” programs and are willing to learn sustainable strategies to ge in shape.
If you’ve tried something before and “failed” — or just can’t stick with it — know that you’re not alone. And it’s not your fault. After all, self-directed training and nutrition programs fail 98 percent of the time. Not to mention, after many years in the fitness industry, I’ve seen dozens of diet and exercise fads come and go. That’s why I don’t follow fads. Instead, I’ll teach you simple daily actions that are designed to fit into a busy lifestyle. Bottom line: I’ll help you make eating well, moving well and living well a part of your life, without it taking over.
You want an expert to hold you accountable and keep you consistent through the program.
Nothing worth doing can be done alone. That’s why I work closely with my clients to help them eat well, move well and live well, no matter what other craziness is going on in their lives. You’re busy and have enough to worry about; let me take care of the details so you don’t have to.
