Hi! I’m Lacey

Your no-BS, hormone-loving, women’s health advocate who’s been exactly where you are.

Tired. Bloated. Frustrated. Trying to do all the right things but still feeling like crap. Sound familiar?

I’m a Certified Nutritional Counselor and Metabolic Balance® Coach who specializes in helping women navigate the chaos of perimenopause, with personalized nutrition, nervous system support, and a whole lot of compassion.

There’s a lot of health advice out there. Most of it contradicts itself. And honestly? Most of it wasn’t made for women in perimenopause.

My approach is different because it’s rooted in real life, real science, and real results.

Want to know how I got here ( and why I’m so passionate about this work)?

Perimenopause & Hormone Health FAQs

  • Perimenopause can bring unexpected changes, fatigue, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, poor sleep, changing body composition, and fluctuating energy levels.

    The Metabolic Balance® method takes a personalized approach by using health history and blood markers to create a nutrition plan tailored to your body's unique needs. Rather than relying on restrictive diets or generic meal plans, the goal is to support sustainable habits through whole foods and individualized guidance.

    Metabolic Balance is fantastic for women with PCOS, and many of my clients have also noticed significant improvements in their PMS and perimenopause symptoms.

    Many women choose this approach because it focuses on:

    • Supporting steady energy throughout the day

    • Encouraging balanced eating patterns

    • Supporting healthy blood sugar regulation

    • Helping build long-term nutrition habits

    • Providing a personalized plan instead of a one-size-fits-all approach

    Perimenopause looks different for every woman, which is why personalized support can make all the difference.

    Results vary and this approach does not replace medical care or hormone treatment when indicated.

  • This work is designed for women who are experiencing changes in their body, energy, and overall wellbeing during perimenopause or menopause and are ready for a more personalized approach to their health.

    It is especially supportive for women who are noticing:

    • Unexplained weight gain or changes in body composition

    • Low energy or persistent fatigue

    • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

    • Mood changes or increased stress sensitivity

    • Sleep disturbances

    • Feeling like their usual diet and exercise habits no longer work

    • Changes in cycle (irregular or heavy periods, PMS, PCOS, etc). 

    If you feel like your body has started to change and you’re unsure what to do next, this support is designed to help you understand what’s happening and what your next steps can be.

  • Yes. Many women benefit from one-to-one coaching because hormonal changes are highly individual and often require a personalized approach rather than generalized advice.

    At Nourish Her, coaching is designed to help women better understand nutrition, movement, lifestyle habits, and the changes happening during perimenopause and menopause.

    One-to-one support may include:

    • Personalized nutrition guidance

    • Hormone-supportive lifestyle recommendations

    • Fitness and movement planning

    • Accountability and ongoing adjustments

    • Education to help you feel confident in your body again

    Programs that combine personalized planning with ongoing coaching can help women build sustainable habits while receiving support tailored to their goals and stage of life. Metabolic Balance® also includes structured coach support as part of its framework.

  • Results will vary depending on your starting point, consistency, and individual health factors, but the goal of this work is to help you feel more in control of your body and symptoms during perimenopause and menopause.

    Many women report improvements such as:

    • More stable energy throughout the day

    • Better understanding of their hunger, cravings, and nutrition needs

    • Improved relationship with food and exercise

    • Reduced symptoms like bloating or fatigue

    • Increased strength and confidence in their body

    • A clearer understanding of how to support their hormones long term

    The focus is not on quick fixes or restrictive dieting, but on building sustainable habits that support your hormones, metabolism, and overall wellbeing.

A quick overview of how and why The Nourished Woman works.

  • “One of the reasons I am loving this plan so much is because I had become bored with food! I didn’t want to have to make another decision about what to cook. And this keeps it so simple, and you have unlimited choices". “I love the simplicity of it all! Choosing real food!” Prep is easy, simple, and quick. It’s so different from other plans I’ve done. This is what I needed!”

    — Steph C.

  • “I’ve really enjoyed working with Lacey, especially for the accountability. I’ve appreciated Lacey’s guidance and suggestions; they’ve helped me stay on track with my goals and push for more daily movement. 3 weeks in and I’m already noticing an increase in energy, deeper, and more restful sleep, and better mobility. I highly recommend.”

    — Amy C.

  • "Only 3 weeks in, and I am already finding my relationship with food is much healthier, I am without pain, and I have also found it easier to handle the rollercoaster that is my cycle. My PMS is no longer a dark cloud. She makes it attainable and doesn’t hold weight over your head like most diet plans. I feel great!”

    — Stevie T.

  • "I’ve been looking for a plan that would work, having no luck and constantly gaining weight, a friend was starting the program and I listened to her. Her enthusiasm and results right away had me decide to try it. I wanted to lose weight and have a feeling of overall wellness. From my heaviest weight of 198 lbs, I’m down to 170 and still going. My joints don’t hurt, I don’t snap crackle pop when I walk or sit down. My skin is clear, inflammation is gone and I’ve moved 3 holes on my belt. This is now a lifestyle that I’m happy to stick with. In the beginning I was cautiously optimistic over how this would go as I’ve steadily gained weight thinking I was doing most things right already. I saw results immediately, game changer!! You’ve helped me when I need to stay on track and gave me the direction when I was lost in terms of focus and necessary mods for meals and inclusions. The food options were plentiful, I never felt I was missing anything throughout the plan."

    — Cheryl E.

  • "For the first time in 10 years I feel like me again. I lost 20 pounds and have so much energy, and my body hurts much less. I hardly ever feel bloated and lots of my perimenopause symptoms have improved. I rarely get a hot flash. I feel more clear headed and have far less cravings. I’ve learned so much over the last 10 weeks about nutrition and how my body uses food efficiently. And I’ve tried so many new foods that I really enjoy, and I no longer feel gross after eating a meal. I think my favorite part is how comfortable I feel in my skin again. I feel confident wearing my clothes and I just feel good. I’m so thankful for this program and for Lacey’s guidance through it all."

    — Jen E.

  • "I started the 12 Week Metabolic Balance Program not because I wanted to lose weight, but because I wanted to feel better. My goal was to support my hormones, reduce inflammation, and get my energy and mental clarity back. The results have honestly exceeded my expectations. I maintained my weight while losing a huge amount of inflammation and bloating. My energy levels increased dramatically, and the brain fog I had been struggling with lifted in a way I didn’t think was possible. I feel clearer, lighter, more balanced, and more like myself again. What I appreciated most was that this program focused on overall health and balance rather than just the number on the scale. It helped me reconnect with what my body actually needed. I now feel stronger, healthier, and much more in tune with my body than when I started. Thank you Lacey for your knowledge and support through the process!"

    —Alana T.

  • "One of my biggest regrets is not meeting Lacey sooner I am halfway to my goal and so incredibly proud of the accomplishment thus far. My body is responding to the changes incredibly, and it truly is quite simple. Lacey has been an amazing support, motivator and now friend."

    — Jody H.
