Guiding stressed out women 50+ back to their energetic, confident selves.
How can we work together?
Signature Program, Public Speaking & Corporate Events
"Boost Your Energy, Conquer Stress & Reclaim Success" is my Signature Program. It provides a personalized blueprint that helps you evaluate and prioritize goals related to nutrition, exercise, lifestyle and attitude changes that will have the biggest impact for you. It lasts twelve weeks and includes a regular weekly live (virtual) session, written follow-ups between sessions, and additional email support throughout the program. ($1497 investment)
After "Spot Your Spiral" in stage 1, you will feel less overwhelmed and more in control. You will be excited to create a path back to yourself. Once the stage 2 "Strengthen Your Strategy" is complete, your moods have improved, your stress feels lower, and your sleep is noticeably better. You start to see glimpses of that woman you remember. Stage 3 is "Mentor Your Mindset" where energy, confidence, and vibrancy have returned - AND you have equipped yourself with the resilience to handle the next major change life throws your way!
(Please note: Participation in the Signature Program requires an application and acceptance process, due to the high level of personal commitment and readiness for change that is required. Otherwise, you are encouraged to consider one of the Spotlight Programs discussed in the next section.)

About Renee Ward
I spent 15 yrs as a group fitness instructor until the demands of a growing family and a job with a brutal travel schedule caused me to take care of everyone - except myself. In 2013, I participated in a group challenge to exercise 30 mins/day, 5 days/wk. I lost my "all or nothing" mindset and began to focus on the lasting benefits of small changes applied consistently each day. I was feeling great again!
Then in 2016, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although it threw me for a loop, I worked hard every day to take back my health. I celebrated the end of cancer treatment by participating in my first triathlon, which I trained for throughout radiation. I celebrated my 1st cancerversary by running in my first 1/2 marathon, and just 6 weeks after my first real 5K!
Friends started coming to me weekly, inspired by my positive attitude and new wealth of knowledge. They witnessed the benefits of my own lifestyle changes firsthand, and they began to ask questions for themselves and their friends about health and wellness changes.
I embraced this new calling in life and became a Certified Heath Coach with the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute in February of 2018. I also hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Engineering from North Carolina State University and have worked in health and safety engineering since 1985. Ever the entrepreneur, I founded (and still run) Air Matters Mold Testing in 2002, after having two other side hustles.
I am always up for a physical challenge and fueled by a mix of competition and adventure. That makes parenting three smart, handsome, athletic and compassionate young men (that thankfully love to travel with me) even more fun! I am a Ramblin' Rose Triathlete, a 5-time Rugged Maniac, a 2-time Half Marathon finisher, and have completed a highest difficulty rock climb. I secretly hope to climb Mount Kilimanjaro one day. It's on the bucket list, right below getting the attic cleaned out and learning to say no more often.
