 HEALTH & BEHAVIOUR CHANGE COACHING FOR WOMEN
Strength, Energy & ClarityÂ
for women 45+ (and the support to finally follow through).
Your medical team tell you what your body needs. I help you turn that into habits that stick - through the busy weeks, the slow progress, and the moment you want to quit. This is about doing the work, consistently, with someone beside you who's done it herself.
 REBUILD YOUR ENERGY Â
You used to feel: Sharp. Strong. Capable.
Now your energy fluctuates, your body responds differently, and your brain feels slower than it used to.
This is not a loss of discipline.
It's a new chapter and it's asking for a new way of operating, not more willpower.
A lot of women may miss this part but you probably don't need more information about what's changing. Your medical team can help you with that. What's actually hard is doing something about it, consistently, in a life that's already full. That's where I come in.
Wiser & Well helps women 45+ turn their health team's guidance into habits that hold all through the busy weeks, the slow progress, and the moment you're ready to give up. Science-informed, built around your real life, and led by someone who's rebuilt her own health from the ground up. The result: strength, energy and confidence that actually lasts.
 HEAR FROM THE WOMEN WE SUPPORT Â
When women stop trying to piece it all together alone,
the shift is often bigger than they expected.
"I needed a circuit breaker to make the changes I'd failed to make on my own. Jen helped me set achievable goals week to week and held me accountable without judgement."
— Anonymous
"Jen showed me how all the pieces fit together for me. I'd done plenty of diets and programmes, but none worked long term — I'd always stagger back to where I started. This time things fell into place. I just feel like myself again."
— Susie
"I feel empowered to change and to put my own health first — which means more energy for my family and my career."
— Angela
Ways to Work With Us
 GROUP COACHING Â
Midlife Health Foundations
Years of starting over, and never quite making it stick? This is where that changes.
Over eight weeks, you'll learn the core principles of midlife wellbeing — strength, nutrition habits, sleep, recovery and energy — and build them into habits that actually hold, alongside a group of women doing exactly the same. Educational, supportive, and designed for real, busy lives.
Eight weeks to lay the foundations properly, with women in your corner.
 1:1 COACHING Â
Your Midlife Reset
You're doing the things you think you're supposed to. So why does it feel like you're fighting your own body?
The Midlife Reset is personalised coaching for women who are done starting over. Across twelve 1:1 sessions (weekly or fortnightly, at the pace that fits your life) we build the daily habits that hold up when life gets busy: strength, movement, sleep, recovery, the way you fuel your day. Not another plan you'll abandon by week four.
Your doctor and health team look after anything clinical. My job is to keep the changes happening, session after session, guided by someone who's rebuilt her own health from the ground up. And when you're ready to go further, ongoing support is there for the long haul.

You are smart, capable, organised, driven and used to getting things done.
Yet lately, your body and brain feel like they didn’t get the memo.
Have you noticed…

- Brain fog and memory slips that make simple tasks feel more difficult
- Low energy that no amount of coffee, willpower or early nights can fix
- Poor sleep, night sweats or hot flushes
- Anxiety, irritability or feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin
- Strength loss or feeling “softer” despite working harder
- Not feeling like yourself anymore
- A sense that your body is not responding the way it used to
If you’re thinking, “I want my energy, strength and confidence back, and I want a plan that actually works for me,” you are in the right place.

 MEET YOUR COACH, JEN BENFIELD Â
Jen didn’t create Wiser & Well from a textbook. She built it out of necessity.
After twenty years running a successful marketing agency, she hit breaking point. Burnout, extreme stress and poor sleep collided with perimenopause, followed by an aggressive melanoma diagnosis, stage IV metastatic cancer and major personal upheaval.
Her recovery was guided by an exceptional medical team.
Looking for answers, Jen turned to the science. She studied the aspects of neuroscience relevant to longevity and peak brain performance, exercise physiology, nutrition, sleep science, and female physiology. She became certified in health coaching through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and was then mentored under the guidance of Dr Louisa Nicola, neurophysiologist, human performance coach and founder of Neuro Athletics. Jen used these tools to understand her own body, rebuild her vitality and develop the programmes she now shares with women across Australia.
“I do this work because I’ve lived the complexity of midlife when health, family, career, and identity all shift at once. Wiser & Well is where lived experience meets clear, science-backed guidance, so you can feel strong, steady, and in control again.”
 — Jen, Founder and Director, Wiser and Well Â
