Weigh Better Blueprint

The 120-Day One-on-One Yoga Therapy and Coaching Program for perimenopausal and menopausal women who want to solve their weight struggles so they can feel healthy and confident in their skin.

Hello, my exhausted, irritated friend,

You're a fierce, passionate creator with big dreams and big goals.

You have BIG plans to make positive, lasting change in your work life, home life, and your community.

Your life and happiness is found in confidently expressing your ideas, learning and growing, and being your truest self.

But, lately (or maybe longer…)

You're hiding because you dislike the reflection in the mirror. You used to be the first to put your hand up.
You have no stamina to do day to day things. You remember having unlimited energy to crush your goals.
You’re overwhelmed by diet trends and workout plans. You used to have a self-care system that worked.
You’re tired of wasting money on gym memberships, and feeling like a failure because you know you’re not going to do something you don’t enjoy.
You are mindlessly eating to feel satisfied, uncomfortable in your body and disappointed in yourself.

If you’re being honest with yourself…

…it feels like you're on an endless rollercoaster of crash diets and exercise routines and no amount supplements, fasting, or aggressive exercise seems to make a dent in it.

THERE MUST BE ANOTHER WAY!

And if something doesn't change?

You worry you'll end up spending countless hours at the gym or preparing restrictive meals sacrificing pleasure, fun and freedom.

What if…

you felt comfortable, sexy and confident in your clothes, no matter what you wear...
you had the stamina to climb up and down stairs, and the mobility to play with your pets and kids on the floor…

you could move your body in ways that are filled with joyful fun, not pain and gain…
you had the energy and focus you want to take steps to turn your dreams into goals with action plans...

you could tap back into your confidence and passion so you can finally start taking care of yourself, your career and your community…

…without restrictive fad diets, movement as a punishment, and endless anxiety?

Here's the Problem.

How are you supposed to know what works for you? Every day there is a new restrictive diet, superfood, or celebrity workout app that will miraculously solve your weight struggles.
You have already tried cutting out foods, exercising aggressively, changing when you sleep, taking supplements and buying expensive gym memberships.

Unfortunately, these one-size-fits-all approaches are not created for you, or aligned with your specific goals. So they won’t get you the results you want.

Conventional medical doctors have biased views around weight and obesity. They see fat as the enemy and menopause as a disease. That means you walk away without a solution that works for you and your body.

Eventually, a lot of mid-life women just give up and accept that they will not be successful in this part of their lives.

It’s not really their fault.

When you’ve tried everything and nothing works, it’s easy to give up.

I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be like this. There is another way

I'm ready to fix my problem

At the end of my sessions with Niya I feel a big improvement in my energy level. My body feels more limber and mobile. I definitely feel like I have more energy- physically, mentally and emotionally. My mood is more on an even keel, and I have less emotional ups and downs. While the mindful movement practice was challenging at times, especially remembering to be consistent with my practice, I have learned that small lifestyle changes can bring big results. I loved the breath practice! I connected to it right away once I learned how important the breath is for weight loss. My sleep and energy levels are much better. I have more range of motion, and feel more limber. I have lost 12 pounds! Niya, you have been so helpful to me. I felt you listened to my frustrations and offered solutions that were easy to incorporate. I am very grateful that you’ve been and will continue to be on my path of wellness.

At the end of my sessions with Niya I feel refreshed and energized. My body feels good and I can breathe more easily than before. The mindful movement practice was manageable. I am more flexible and can bend easier than in the beginning. The biggest change I have seen is progression in activity: improved balance and better ability to do exercises in standing. I learned that with committed practice my body can do a lot more. It really is about mind over matter. The breath practice was great. I had issues with breathing due to chronic illness. Through this I have a noticeable positive result when bike riding. The breathing exercises and meditations helped me center and focus my thoughts. I have fewer bouts of fatigue and am better able to manage my depression. After our morning practices together I very much was more clear and energetic throughout the day.

Niya is a flexible and experienced yoga therapist. Her ability to focus and exercise my mind allowed me to give up smoking and focus on my breathing that was causing me issues in many facets of my life. Being a Management Professional, I often have issues with work/life balance and fitting self care activities into my life. Niya worked with me on my availability early in the morning and supported me with one-on-one coaching to perfect my practice. She customized her training to a method that worked with my ADHD and helped me grow with my practice. This definitely is something I plan on incorporating into my life and will continue to practice and ask lots of questions. Thank you for offering me this experience. I appreciate it so much.

I’m ready to get started

Hi, I’m Niya!

I was the fat kid in class. I endured humiliation that left scars deeper than anyone could see so I sought a sense of control in food, which led to disordered eating patterns and overexercising.

All I wanted was to feel comfortable in my own skin, free from the shame that plagued me whenever I looked in the mirror or the anxiety and guilt when I indulged in a simple pleasure like ice cream. Maybe you’ve been there too?

My relentless pursuit of weight loss looked like restrictive diets and intense exercise regimens touted by mainstream media and fitness culture that trapped me in a cycle of temporary success followed by inevitable failure that left me feeling defeated and disillusioned.

It was during a yoga class that I experienced a profound shift in perspective, a newfound connection to my body, and a sense of empowerment that had eluded me for years.

So I deepened my knowledge and practice as a yoga therapist and finally found freedom from the emotional rollercoaster of disordered eating and overexercising.

Today, I am pain-free, energized, and empowered to pursue my dreams with unwavering confidence.

I want to help other goal driven women experience the same transformation. I developed the Weigh Better Blueprint, specifically for powerhouse women like us. It has already helped dozens solve their weight struggles with mindset, movement and lifestyle changes so they can feel healthy and confident in their skin.

Niya is amazing. She really takes the time to listen to your individual needs and build a practice plan that is tailored to you. 've always had trouble with following breathing instructions and Niya really helped me find my way there. She also listens to your concerns and watches how you/your body interacts with that plan and adjusts things to make sure that you are truly able to benefit from your practice. She brings such a wealth of knowledge to the table that it was a delight to work with her. Definitely recommend setting up an appointment with her!

Ana R.

I had a wonderful experience with Niya as my yoga therapist. As a newcomer to yoga therapy, she was kind and thorough in explaining the goals and anticipated outcomes. She really cares for her patients and during our sessions she made sure to create a safe space for me to explore my own sensations. Furthermore, Niya created a specific sequence of movements that helped me feel better and if I had questions, she was always available to provide me with more information. For sure I would work with her again!

Tatiana P.

Niya is so empathetic, healing and knowledgeable! I felt AMAZING after our yoga therapy sessions together! I had some issues with my lower back, and after working with Niya I was able to understand what I could be doing for myself to really feel more at ease. She really provides a safe space for your healing. I felt so much more relaxed after our practice together! I HIGHLY recommend working with Niya! This is your sign!

Introducing...

The 120-Day One-on-One Yoga Therapy and Coaching Program for menopausal women who want to solve their weight struggles so they can feel healthy and confident in their skin.

I’m ready to talk about a solution

Why is the Weigh Better Blueprint different?

There are so many diets and workout routines that claim to beat menopause belly - and some of them do, in the short term.

Roughly 80% of people who shed a significant portion of their body fat do not maintain that degree of weight loss for 12 months.

In fact, most dieters regain more than half of what they lose within two years because they don’t have a holistic solution that addresses mindset, movement, and lifestyle.

With the Weigh Better Blueprint, fat and our bodies are not the enemy. Menopause isn't a disease.

We don’t punish ourselves by leaving out entire food groups, or eating things we don’t enjoy.

We don’t risk injury with high intensity workouts to snatch waists or fight FUPA. And we don’t waste money on expensive supplements that you need to take for the rest of your life.

Why I'm different

I've walked the path you’re on. I’ve suffered from disordered eating, body image issues, low energy and low self esteem - and I’ve recovered.
I’m an award winning internationally certified yoga therapist and I'll teach you EVERYTHING you need to know for lasting weight loss and body satisfaction.
I've helped dozens of mid-life women like you solve their weight struggles
I am deeply committed to your transformation through practices that work
I know your struggle, am invested in your success and care deeply for your wellbeing.

I'm ready for change

How it works…

When you qualify to join the Weigh Better Blueprint, we will determine and work with your unique constitution to identify diet, movement and lifestyle changes for lasting weight and body satisfaction.

I’ll design a mindful movement and meditation practice specifically designed to achieve your weight goals. From there I’ll support you as you move through the 3-Step Release, Restore, Refine Method to release mindsets that contribute to weight gain, restore your self talk and refine your daily rituals.

1. Release

Step 1 is about letting go of what isn’t working, or is actually hurting us. Together we’ll look at how we think, breathe, eat and move and figure out what we thought might work but isn’t doing what it is supposed to.

This period of work will include shifting self talk and mindset, shifting away from breath patterns that generate more cortisol, setting aside foods and beverages that are creating inflammation, pain, bloating and digestive distress, and examining our movement patterns to release any which are causing injury, pushing us into fight/flight/freeze mode, and otherwise not serving our goals.

2. Restore

Once we’ve set aside what was doing damage, we will start to find our way back to a sustainable, neutral relationship with our body, breath and mind. This will include practices to reconnect with our bodies so that it shifts from being a possession we can modify with expensive skincare, cosmetic surgery, or extreme diet and exercise, to something that we are and can care for.

It will include practices to shift our self-talk towards one that is calm in the face of challenge, and that accepts reality as it is while finding gratitude for everything we have - which has significant positive impacts on mental health. We will explore joyful movement, and how to find a level of nutrition that ensures our cells have the energy they need to function at their best, without inflammation.

3. Refine

Once we have started to identify what feels accessible, and can be continued, we will refine what is working, so that it continues to be something we can do on a daily basis. Like scientists in our own lab, we’ll look at the results of the practices, and see where we can make adjustments to ensure that the goals identified will be met in a way that is sustainable and that you can continue for a happy, healthy, successful future.

8 Private Coaching Calls (up to 60-minutes)

We’ll get together twice during each step to review your practice, troubleshoot issues arising, discuss your progress and challenges, and explore solutions. I’ll be there to help you implement techniques and hold you accountable.

My goal is to support you at the deepest level and keep you on track so you can feel comfortable in your skin, reclaim your confidence and go back to feeling healthy as quickly as possible.

Weekly Accountability Check-ins (120-days access)

Dealing with meno-fog and the impact of hormonal shifts is challenging. It can be easy to let the ball drop when no one is asking about your progress. You won’t be the only one keeping yourself accountable. I’ll send you an email to check in with you every week.

This will help you stay on track, and successfully integrate the changes we discussed as part of the 3-Step Release, Restore, Refine Method. And if success metrics slip, or you are at risk of not achieving a milestone? I’ll help identify what isn’t working, what you have learned, and what to realistically change to get you back on track.

When I first started my journey with Niya at Holistic Yoga Therapy, I was in pain and looking at a hip joint replacement. I had all but given up. With Niya's patient approach, I am thrilled to say that I am no longer a candidate for a replacement and I no longer live my days in chronic pain. I am learning to understand how my body works and ways to work with it for optimal health. Niya has introduced me to gentle exercise, meditation and writing to help me live my best life. Thank you Niya, you have literally saved me from surgery!

Niya did a great job in understanding what was going on in my life and my body. She has such a calming presence, and I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions together!! She's a magician with her work and can't recommend her enough :)

Montana K.

Working with Niya was so healing and eye opening. She was so wonderful at listening to my needs, and created a reasonable plan to support my healing. She spent the time to understand me and designed a custom practice for me. I really appreciated her non-judgemental attitude and positive energy and the practice helped me navigate a difficult time in my life.
