A Wellness Experience

Three Sundays | November 1, 8, & 15 | 10:00 AM–2:00 PM

Â
You're not broken.
You're just due for a recalibration.
Â
If you've been feeling more tired than usual, watching your body change in ways you don't understand, or wondering why what used to work no longer does...
You're not alone.
And you're not doing anything wrong.
Your body is changing. It needs a different strategy
—not more willpower.
The Recalibration Series is a three-Sunday experience designed to help you understand what's happening in your body, build strength with confidence, nourish yourself well, and leave with a personalized plan for this next chapter of life.
Reserve My SpotDoes any of this sound familiar?
- You don't feel like yourself anymore.
- You're doing everything right... but something still feels off.
- Your doctor says everything looks "normal," but you know you don't feel your best.
- The workouts that used to work...don't.
- Your energy has changed.
- Sleep has become unpredictable.
- You're tired of trying harder without getting better results.
You don't need more willpower.
You need the right information, the right support, and a plan built for the body you have today.
I'm Ready to RecalibrateWhat You'll Experience
The Recalibration Series isn't a lecture or a weekend bootcamp.
It's three intentional Sundays designed to help you better understand your body, build lasting strength, simplify nutrition, and leave with a clear, personalized roadmap for your health.
Each session builds on the one before it, giving you the time to learn, practice, reflect, and make meaningful changes that actually last.
Session One:
Understand
You can't create a roadmap until you know where you are.
- Learn what's changing in midlife—and why.
- Discover why "doing everything right" may not be giving you the results you expect.
- Strength training session focused on building a strong foundation.
- Nutrition foundations that support energy, muscle, and long-term health.
- Healthy catered lunch.
- Reflection and journaling.
Session Two:
Build
Now that you understand your body, it's time to support it.
- Progress your strength training with confidence.
- Learn how to fuel your workouts and recovery.
- Understand protein, blood sugar, and metabolism in practical terms.
- Healthy catered lunch.
- Guided discussion and reflection.
Session Three:
Thrive
Turn knowledge into a plan you'll actually use.
- Pull everything together.
- Create your own realistic wellness blueprint.
- Foundational wellness habits to support nutrition.
- Leave with clarity, confidence, and next steps.
- Celebrate your progress together over lunch.
Every Sunday Includes:
- A women-focused strength training session
- Nutrition education with a Registered Dietitian
- A healthy catered lunch
- Guided reflection and discussion
- Practical tools you can apply immediately
- A supportive community of women walking a similar path

YOUR GUIDES
JANEL FUNK, RD
My goal is to help you cultivate a healthy relationship with food and feel good without dieting, restriction or stress. I am passionate about finding ways to support my clients in each of their wellness goals by focusing not only on food but also sleep, stress, movement, environment, lifestyle and more.
I come from a place of empathy and understanding when helping my clients learn how to apply the science of nutrition to their own bodies and lifestyles and will be your biggest ally when it comes to supporting your health.Â
Let's work together so you're empowered and confident when it comes to nourishing your body and feeling your best.

What our clients are saying...

”
Janel is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and kind. She knows that “talking food” can be a challenging topic and she approaches all conversations with understanding and empathy. Most of all, she is 100% committed to making her clients feel better both physically and mentally. In a short time, she helped me completely transform my relationship with food, and as a result, I am now much kinder to my body. I recommend Janel without hesitation to anyone – really, anyone would benefit from a session with her!

Coach D doesn't just make you stronger — she makes you believe you're capable of more than you thought. The community she's built is unlike anything I've experienced. Women of all ages, all backgrounds, all levels — showing up for themselves and each other. She makes you want to come back.

It’s rare to find a professional who looks out for their clients or patients in the way that Janel does. She’s helped me explore a variety of healthy foods and worked with me to create a personalized diet plan that fit both my health needs and lifestyle.  Janel is a rare kind of professional: knowledgeable, compassionate, and always looking out for you in every way. I am truly grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her. Â

I could not recommend Coach D more highly! She is so unbelievably kind and concerned about every one of her clients. She has an amazing way of knowing each woman’s challenge and checking in with them to make sure they are working at the right level. She has a way of making every workout fun, yet challenging.
