Qualified Nutrition ScientistFinally, a human Who Understands Both the Science and the Struggle
Evidence‑based metabolic nutrition to help your body respond again — paired with real‑world empathy, lived experience, and a partner who walks with you every step of the way.
Hi, I'm Mikaela
The 5'11", Curvy Nutritional Scientist Who Proves Health Doesn't Look One Way
European-trained. Christchurch-based. Living the science I teach. I know the frustration. I know what it's like when nothing works, and I know how to figure out why.
As a Nutrition Scientist, I understand exactly how perimenopause can remodel your metabolism. And as a woman moving through this same season myself, I bring the empathy that only lived experience can offer.
I know what it feels like when your body suddenly stops responding to the things that used to work, not because you’ve failed, but because your biochemistry and physiology has shifted in ways no one warned you about..
That’s why I talk about ‘Integrated Expertise.’ It simply means I’m not here to hand you a clinical protocol and wish you luck. I’m here for the real, unfiltered rhythm of your daily life, the messy mornings, the hormonal unpredictability, the days you feel powerful, and the days you feel like hiding from the world.
My work is equal parts science and humanness. I help you make sense of what your body is doing and walk beside you as you relearn how to trust and create a relationship with this new version of yourself. You don’t have to do it alone.

The Sérénité Women’s Wellness Program
The Sérenité Women's Wellness Program 24 Weeks | Complete Metabolic Reset | Lifelong Framework
A two-phase program for perimenopausal women who've done everything right and need more than another diet.
You need to understand why your body stopped responding. And you need someone who won't leave you stranded when the protocol ends.
Phase 1: Metabolic Reset Foundation (Weeks 1-12)
This is where the transformation begins. Using your personalized Metabolic Balance protocol, designed from your unique blood chemistry, we'll recalibrate your metabolism.
You'll experience:
Energy that returns (no more 3pm crashes)
Sleep that improves (fewer 2am wake-ups)
Hot flashes that diminish or disappear
A body that finally responds again
Regular touchpoints strategically spaced over 12 weeks to review progress, adjust your approach, and work through challenges together.
What we do together:
5 one-on-one sessions strategically spaced over 12 weeks
Unlimited support between sessions (WhatsApp + email)
Protocol adjustments based on your unique response
Education on why your body does what it does
Most women see dramatic improvements within 2-4 weeks, with continued progress throughout Phase 1
Introduction to your wellness Hub and tools
Phase 2: Metabolic Bridge Protocol (Weeks 13-24)
This is what sets Sérenité apart from every other program.
The reset is the easy part. The hard part is transitioning from strict protocol to sustainable living without losing your results.
The Metabolic Bridge Protocol is my proprietary system for making your transformation permanent.
This is where most programs abandon you. They hand you a maintenance plan and wish you luck. Then what? You're terrified to eat normally.
The structure disappears. You regain the weight and blame yourself. I won't leave you there. The Metabolic Bridge teaches you to move from stricter protocol to sustainable, balanced eating, slowly, safely, with someone who believes in you and won’t let you go at alone.
You'll learn to:
Gradually increase food intake to match your true metabolic needs
Integrate movement strategically as your energy returns
Use flexible eating frameworks that maintain metabolic principles
Build portion intuition without endless tracking
Navigate social eating and weekends without derailing progress
Troubleshoot challenges with expert support
The goal: - You become your own expert. You learn to trust your body's signals. You eat freely without fear, because you understand your metabolism and you can manage it yourself.
What's Included:
4 bi-weekly coaching sessions (30-45 mins) at key milestones
Personalized metabolic calculations (BMR, TDEE, activity adjustments)
Progressive meal expansion plan tailored to your lifestyle
Movement integration guidance
Flexible eating templates and portion guides
Email support throughout Phase 2
The result: You walk away with a framework you can use for life—not just another diet you'll eventually abandon.
