Coach. Athlete. Strategist.

For women who lead — and want their bodies to show it.


I’m Sami—

Women’s Performance Coach. Nutrition Strategist. Higher Ed Leader. Lifelong Athlete. Founder of RESOLVE Coaching — built for women who are done starting over.

I’ve always been an athlete — but I haven’t always trained smart.

Like so many women, I spent years chasing performance with no real plan.
More running. More lifting. More pushing.
Ignoring my body’s signals and calling it “discipline.”

Eventually, I realized: I wasn’t building strength. I was building burnout.
And I wasn’t alone.

Too many high-functioning, driven women are caught in that same cycle:
Doing more. Getting less. Feeling stuck. And blaming themselves.

I built RESOLVE to break that cycle.

These days, I don’t train to prove anything — I train to protect everything.

My strength goals aren’t about perfection or PRs anymore.
They’re about staying resilient, metabolically healthy, and fully here for the people I love.
After losing both of my parents—one suddenly, one slowly—I made a decision:
My kids will never have to watch me decline.

My parents didn’t have access to the science, support, or systems we do now.
I carry their memory with me — and I coach from a place of choosing differently
because I can.

That commitment is at the core of how I coach.

Why RESOLVE?

Because most fitness advice wasn’t built for women like us.
Not for the leaders. The decision-makers. The ones carrying pressure at work and at home.

Not for women in midlife who want longevity and strength — not just another round of macros and motivation.

I coach women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond —
Women who lead teams, raise families, run businesses, and still want to feel sharp, strong, and fully present.

At RESOLVE, we don’t chase perfection.
We train with purpose.

What I Bring

  • 25+ years in the fitness industry

  • A Master’s degree + 5 years teaching in higher education

  • Certifications in personal training, running, nutrition, women’s coaching, and menopause coaching (and health mindset coaching still underway).

And beyond the titles: I’m a runner, lifter, mom of two grown kids, and a woman navigating this season of life right alongside you.

If you’re done with guesswork — and craving structure, strength, and a smarter approach…

You don’t need to start over.
You need RESOLVE.
