Does this sound like you?
✓ You've googled yourself down a rabbit hole and you still don't know what fitness and nutrition advice is right for you.
✓You see younger women in the gym and you crave the confidence you had back then.
✓ You keep promising yourself you'll start on Monday, but Monday comes and nothing changes.
✓ You know you need to look after yourself, but you're overwhelmed, exhausted and frustrated that you can't seem to get on top of it.
✓ You've tried fasting, shakes and every diet your friends have recommended, and now you're wondering if there's something wrong with you.
Imagine this...
You're feeling really supported.
You have a customised plan and someone there to guide you back every time you fall off the horse.
You feel confident in your exercise, what to eat is no longer guesswork, and you understand why stress can make everything feel so hard, and what to do about it.
The pieces you've been missing finally start to click. You realise you haven't been failing. You just haven't been given an approach that works with you, your life and what you actually need.
Welcome to Strong Like A Woman.
Fitness, nutrition and nervous system coaching designed specifically for women 30+ who are ready to put their health and fitness back on the map, work with their nervous system, build strength and eat in a sustainable way that supports their health and waistline.
No more guessing. Just practical, evidence-based advice and support from a coach who understands that getting results isn't simply about eating less and exercising more.
Hi, I’m
Melanie Briony
I’m a fitness, nutrition and nervous system regulation coach, and creator of The Strong Like A Woman Method™.
I’ve worked in the fitness industry since 2009, and over the years I’ve seen how often women are told to eat less, exercise more and simply try harder when what they actually need is a better understanding of themselves, their bodies and what they can sustainably do.
That’s why I created an approach that brings fitness, nutrition and nervous system regulation together. To help you understand what’s getting in the way of your success, what works for your unique needs and why your nervous system matters when it comes to looking and feeling your best.
My goal is simple: to help women become strong, sexy and confident without burning themselves out in the process.

Support & Guidance
This is a completely different approach
You won’t be given another rigid plan to follow and expected to make your life fit around it.
Instead, we start with where you are. You’ll learn how to recognise what you need, understand your capacity and adapt your approach as your life changes.
We’ll work together on the things that actually affect how you feel and progress, including your training, nutrition, recovery, stress and nervous system regulation.
You’ll know when to push towards your goals and when to slow down, recover and give your body what it needs, without fear of failure or burnout.
You’ll stop second-guessing every decision and start trusting yourself to make choices that support your health, your wellbeing and your goals.
Because the goal isn’t to follow a plan perfectly. It’s to know how to make the right choices for you, through every phase and stage of your life.
A personalised approach,
built around you.
