Hi! I'm Sharon

I'm a health & fitness coach and biohacker for women who are menopausal and beyond. My mission is to help menopausal women optimize their health so they can thrive physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Using a combination of nutrition, exercise, habit change, biohacking and mindset tools, menopause becomes a time of positive transformation, energy and growth. I have over 25 years of experience in the health and fitness industry, a B.S in Physical Education, certifications in: nutrition [Precision Nutrition], Wellcoaches, Pilates, Yoga and Digestive Wellness. I chose the name kuhlebody for my health and fitness coaching practice because the word "Kuhle" comes from the African Zulu language which means, "Good, fine and beautiful." Menopause is every woman's opportunity to become KUHLE.
